Saint Mungo and the robin on an exposed gable of the Scottish Renaissane style early 1900s Bell o' the Brae tenements on High Street in Glasgow. The mural was created by Smug and was painted in 2016.

At its height, it's been estimated that one in every eight pounds spent in Glasgow went through the city's cooperative societies, meaning much of the wealth generated in Glasgow remained within the local economy rather than being drained away from it.
The Greencity Wholefoods Workers Cooperative building in the East End of Glasgow. While this particular cooperative was only established in 1978, the cooperative movement as a whole played an important role in the development of Glasgow, and especially in providing the city's workers with affordable goods and services.

Pearl the Oyster Lady on the Kelvingrove Cafe on Argyle Street in Glasgow. Created in 2020, it's one of my favourite pieces of street art in the city.
Today we went to see the Kelpies - they're absolutely massive! I don't think my Little Brother was very impressed with them, though.
It might be an old one, but this mural by Rogue Oner on Ross Street remains one of my favourite pieces of street art in Glasgow.
Love this mural on Govan Road in Glasgow. Created by the street artist Smug and painted in 2022, it was inspired by Govan-born Peter Barr. In the late 1800s, Barr was responsible for bringing daffodils back into fashion, earning him the nickname of the Daffodil King, and bringing a much needed splash of colour to our parks, gardens and streets every Spring ever since.
Mosacis of three constellations in the garden area in the Kelvingrove Sqaure in the West End of Glasgow. These are Leo, the Lion, Vulpecula, the Little Fox and Ursa Minor, the Little Bear. There are other similar mosaics in the same area, but these three are in the best condition.
It's a little bit windy here in Glasgow today. Stay safe everyone!
A bit late in the season for posting, but I love this festive post box topper on North Gardner Street in the Partickhill area of Glasgow. Don't go reading too much into it, but I especially like the Grinch!

The Battlefield Mural on the Common Ground cafe on Battlefield Road in Glasgow. Created by Scottish Grafitti Murals in 2021, it's a homage to the sign on Glasgow's legendary Barrowland Ballroom, which is thought to be the largest neon sign in the UK.
We might not have done very well with putting up the Christmas lights, but with Mum's supervision, we did a lot better with the Christmas tree!
Today we went into George Square to look at the Christmas lights! I really liked the reindeer beside the Christmas tree!
One of the beautiful Empty Bowl series of ceramic mosaic street art by the artist Wilma van der Meyden. This one is on Sandy Road in the Partick area of Glasgow.
Love these hand-painted stone fairy houses in the sensory garden in Glasgow's King's Park. They're hidden amongst the plants in the planters.
The story presented in this plaque took quite a bit of research to uncover. It's about Glasgow's most flamboyant billionaire and the forgotten reason why he built the Finnieston Crane.
I love this mural on an orphaned gable end of a row of red sandstone tenements on Shettleston Road in Glasgow, especially how the top blends in with the sky on mornings like this morning
Another of the painted electrical boxes along Byres Road in the West End of Glasgow. In my opinion, these decorated ones look a lot better than unpainted ones.
Does anyone know the story behind these tiles about Alice? I run into different ones from time to time on walls around the Southside of Glasgow, mostly in the vicinity of Queen's Park.
