ALT This is ancient Glasgow Cathedral lit up in the warm glow of the dawn light with the green copper roof and the sooty black stone seem against a pale blue sky.

ALT Seen against a mottled blue sky with its crown and blue clock this is the Tolbooth Steeple at Glasgow Cross, the surviving fragment of the Tolbooth, Glasgow’s original town hall. Dating from 1627, it now sits at a busy intersection in the heart of Glasgow.

ALT Built between 1884-90 this is Glasgow City Chambers in the city’s George Square. The heavily ornamented facade of the building can be seen against a blue sky with the Monument to Thomas Graham, a key Glasgow chemist who discovered dialysis and the diffusion of gases. There is a figure in a red jacket looking up at the building as they walk past.

ALT This is the BOAC Building on Glasgow’s Buchanan Street. The dark pre-patinated copper cladding on this wee Brutalist building was designed to blend with the surrounding sooty buildings which were promptly stone cleaned.
