Numbers 7 and 8 Moray Place on the Southside of Glasgow. Built in 1859, they were designed by the one and only Alexander 'Greek' Thomson, and they are just pure class.

A striking black and white photo of a circular, classical-style stone temple or gazebo, featuring a domed roof supported by six columns. The structure is set on a low, tiered base in a garden or wooded area. Tall, dense trees frame the structure on both sides, with the bright sun directly behind the dome at the top centre, creating a strong lens flare and dramatic contrast.
