1840s Tudor Gothic gable and finial on 75 Trongate, Glasgow. I love their shapes, and the coat of arms is a cracker, too, especially the fish which are supporting it.

A bird, a fish, a bell and a tree on the facade of a 1905 tenement designed by A.B. McDonald on Stockwell Street in Glasgow. One of many examples of these four symbols all over the city.

These are known locally as the bird that never flew, the tree that never grew, the fish that never swam and the bell that never rang. You'll see these symbols in many differents forms all across the city.
