There is also lost more detail to the fabric of the buildings Hopefully this thread will cover all the outstanding features Glasgow's architecture has to offer "If You Look Up". Turnbull Street

When some tourists ask me what they can see when they go into town later, I nearly always tell them simply to look up. I was early for meeting someone this morning and walked up the middle of Buchanan st looking up at the detail of the buildings | ||

Stone cat....Brechins bar Govan.
I lived in Govan for so long yet never noticed that cat. I heard about it recently and had to get a pic to show you. The story goes like this :- High up on the southern side of the building is a stone carving of a cat, immortalising one prolific rat catcher who killed large numbers of rodents which had been brought to Govan on vessels carrying flax for the local weavers.

I posted a photo of the statue on another site some time ago and someone pointed it out to me.
I have taken a photo of it and didn't know it was there
