A beautifully sculpted figure of Saint Mungo over the entrance of the former Glasgow Savings Bank on Ingram Street in Glasgow. I love the way selective guilding has been used to add to its impact.

Love this spirelet on Saint Mungo's Church in the Townhead area of Glasgow, with fish-scale bands and topped by an ornate iron cross with a rather unusual heart-shaped nimbus.

Saint Mungo on the facade of Saint Ninian's Church on Pollokshaws Road on the Southside of Glasgow. You can tell it's Saint Mungo because of the dead fish with the ring in its mouth at the base of the statue.
