I love the inscription around this old door bell on a rather grand townhouse in the West End of Glasgow. Apparently, this was once a common feature of door bells, and was even parodied by A.A. Milne in Winnie the Pooh. However, this is the only surviving example I've ever come across in Glasgow.
I love the new street art decorating the street furniture on Byres Road in the West End of Glasgow. It really helps to bring a touch of colour and interest to the street.

Redlands Mansion on Lancaster Crescent in the West End of Glasgow. Designed by James Boucher in an Italianate style, it was built in 1871 (originally without the front porch) for the Glasgow businessman James Buchanan Mirrlees when the surrounding area was almost all countryside and it has since been swallowed up by the westward expansion of the city.
