The Italianate Lismore House on Kelvin Drive in Glasgow. Built in the 1860s, it looks out over the Kelvin Walkway and the West End of the city.
I love this monumental late 19th century red sandstone tenement block rising above the River Kelvin on Garrioch Road in Glasgow.
I started the day with a sunrise shot of Glasgow University over the River Kelvin, so it makes sense to end with an evening one from the same spot (although not one taken today).
A bit geeky, I know, but I love this old stone wall in the Yorkhill area of Glasgow. I've got no idea of its age, but it leads down to the former Bishop's Mill, on the banks of the River Kelvin, which was built in 1839.
The Kelvin Aqueduct in Maryhill. Opened in 1790, it carries the Forth and Clyde Canal over the River Kelvin. This canal was the world's first manmade sea-to-sea water way designed to provide a shortcut for shipping, making it the forerunner of the much larger Suez and Panama Canals.

The Prince of Wales Bridge in Kelvingrove Park in the West End of Glasgow. Built in 1894, it's named after Queen Victoria's eldest son, Prince Albert, who'd later go on to become King Edward VII. This bridge has some rather wonderfully carved versions of the city's coat of arms on it spandrels, which are only really visible from the river's edge.

In the background are the Wyndford Tower Blocks, built on the site of the former Wyndford Barracks in the 1960s, and currently being demolished.
Layers of Glasgow history along the River Kelvin. In the foreground is the Garrioch Viaduct, which carried the Maryhill - Stobcross line across the river. It was built by Caledonian Railways and operated between the 1890s and the 1960s. Just behind this is a second railway bridge built for the Lanarkshire and Dumbartonshire Railways which carried a line between Maryhill and Partick during the same period.

The underside of the 1890 cast-iron bridge which carries Great Western Road over the River Kelvin in the West End of Glasgow. Standing at the edge of the water beneath it is the remains of one of the piers of the earlier bridge, built in 1840, which it replaced.
A beech tree fully decked out in its glorious autumnal colours on the banks of the River Kelvin just below the Glasgow Botanic Gardens.
The autumnal trees lining the banks of River Kelvin in the West End of Glasgow looking beautiful in this morning's sunshine.
Good Morning, Glasgow! It's a chilly, but wonderful Autumn day and the city's looking as spectacular as ever!
