Love the new public space which has been created at the historic Govan Graving Docks in Glasgow. For me, it has just the right mix of old and new to maintain its links with the past while still giving it a modern feel.

Accidental impressionism created by today's rain on my windscreen as I waited for it to stop before taking my dog for her afternoon walk here in Glasgow.

This was a rainbow rising up from the distinctive open crown spire of John James Stevenson's 1898 Scottish gothic style church on Belmont Street in Kelvinbridge as seen from the Forth and Clyde canal near the Hamiltonhill Claypits Nature Reserve.

This morning's big run around the city had it all: Sunshine, wind, rain, rainbows, and even a brief flurry of snow at the end - Welcome to spring in Glasgow!

Soon, all that will be left is its outline on the neighbouring Central Hotel building, and it will have become another of Glasgow's ghost buildings.

What a way to end what turned out be a rather gorgeous Spring day here in Glasgow! This was the view down the Clyde from the Squinty Bridge at sunset this evening.

Red, blue and yellow: Dafodills outside a red sandstone tenement on Crow Road in the Broomhill area of Glasgow in today's spring sunshine.

Good morning, Glasgow. There was an interesting sky above the city when I stepped out the door this morning for the school run, and it wasn't clear which side would win, but it looks like it's the sunny side that's come out on top.

After a beautiful spring day here in Glasgow, the Clyde looked just as beautiful at nightfall, with the sunset reflecting off the modern buildings of the city's waterfront.

First ladybird of the year (for me) amongst gorse flowers on a sunny Spring day in Festival Park in Glasgow

The daffodils in the central reservation of Great Western Road in Glasgow are putting on their usual, and rather wonderful, seasonal display.

A rather intense rainbow on this afternoon's dog walk rising above the Victorian townhouses of Park Terrace in the West End of Glasgow.

Love these dafodills catching today's morning sun on a tenement window box at Partick Cross in Glasgow.

The neighbouring Central Station, a key element of Victorian Glasgow and an important hub for modern communters, is closed, but is hopefully unharmed

Smoke still billows from the burned out remains and drifts across the centre of Glasgow. This is not a good scene to wake up to, but at least no one in the building or any firefighters were hurt.

After yesterday's fire, the familiar dome of the 175 year old Union Corner building is gone, as is the facade which once stretched down Union Street to Caledonian Chambers (where there is a side entrance to Central Station).

If it is this building that's been affected and if it's as bad the the current reports suggest, this is going to have a major impact on the local streetscape, and the views down Renfield Street, as well as causing major disruption to the roads around Central Station.

As far as I can work out from the news footage, it's the building in the centre of this photo (which I took last year) which has been affected.

There's currently a major fire on Union Street in the centre of Glasgow. There are no reports of casualties, but apparently parts of the building involved have collapsed.

January Blues. This seemed like an appropriate mural to post on a wet and stormy day here in Glasgow, just before I head out into the darkness to take the dog for her early morning walk.

It's that time of year when large numbers of young Christmas trees, now free of their festive duties, can be seen roaming the streets of Glasgow. They like to hang out at bus stops, drinking buckfast and shouting at passersby.
