A couple of shots from a quick stop at the seafront on the usual run to out to Hambledon & back via Clanfield. So nice to finally have some sun.
Southpark House in Glasgow. Built around 1850, this was the last of the large villas constructed in the Hillhead area of the city before development increased with the building of terraced townhouse and tenements.

It's part of Gildard and Macfarlane's 1850s Belgrave Terrace which I featured earlier today, but while the entrances on the main facade facing Great Western Road are relatively plain, this one is much more decorative.

Love this doorway on Southpark Avenue in the West End of Glasgow.

The terminal pavilion of Belgrave Terrace in the Hillead area of Glasgow. Designed by Gildard and Macfarlane, it was built in 1856. I really like how the windows are different, but complimentary, on each floor of this townhouse.

A rather unusual version of the symbols from the Glasgow Coat of Arms outside Hillhead Primary School in the city's West End. Top to bottom they are the bird, the fish, the bell and the tree.

1860s terraced townhouse on Southpark Avenue in the Hillhead area of Glasgow. I love the shape of the oriel window on these building, which repeats along the whole terrace.

While it looks pretty, this can only happen because its roof was removed several years ago, leaving this B-listed building open to the elements, and decaying.

I love this sculpture on a wall at the junction of Byres Road and University Avenue in West End of Glasgow. Created in 1993 by Michelle de Bruin and Callum Sinclair, this is the first time I've seen it lit up in a very long time.

That's me all set up for today's Byres Road Market in Hillhead Library. It's on from 11am until 4pm. I've got copies of Glasgow Uncovered book for sale as well as my tenement tile ceramic coasters, calendars, mounted prints and Christmas cards.

The house was purchased by Glasgow University in 1981 and is now home to its College of Social Sciences. This makes it the oldest building in the university's Gilmorehill Campus, as it only moved to the west end in the 1860s.

In the 1920s, it was a home for young girls run by Elders' Wives and Daughters Association, about which I can find little, but I wonder if it was connected to the philanthropic work of Isabella Elder.

Florentine House on Hillhead Street in the West End of Glasgow. Built in 1828, it was amongst the first villas to be constructed in the Hillhead area of Glasgow as the city expanded westward.

The main part of this building dates from 1883 and was designed by H. and D. Barclay. However, I think this is part of the additional attic added by S. Preston in 1908 to house the school's chemical and physical laboratories.

The magnificent main entrance to Kelvinside Hillhead Parish Church in the west end of Glasgow. I paritcularly like the nested gothic arches around the doors and the massive wheel window above them.
