Love this lion rampant on the gates of Òran Mór in the West End of Glasgow. Originally built as the Kelvinside Parish Church, it was converted into an entertainment venue in 2004. Òran Mór is Gaelic and can be translated as the Big Song or the Great Melody of Life.

This is one of four rather amazing cast iron lamp bases outside the former Dennistoun Public School (now St. Denis' Primary) in the East End of Glasgow.

The Kibble Palace, arguably Glasgow's finest example of Victorian iron work. Created by John Kibble, it was originally built at Coulport on the shores of Loch Long before being taken apart, moved to Glasgow and re-built at its current location in The city's Botanic Gardens in the 1870s.

A surviving metal kerb-protector on the corner of Wellington Street and St Vincent Lane in central Glasgow. This was designed to stop the kerbstones being worn away by the wheels of carts and also to help guide them into the narrow lanes between the buildings, so that they didn't damage them.

Love the flower detail on these Victorian cast-iron railings on Hillhead Street in the West End of Glasgow.

Love this simple, but amusing, bit street art. It's on the Queen Margaret Drive railings for the Botanic Gardens in Glaagow, and I think it's by A Sign of Humour.

Love the squirrels and the dragons on the ornamental benches in the Kibble Palace glasshouse in Glasgow's Botanic Gardens.

Bootscrapers of Park Circus in the west end of Glasgow. Bootscrapers are very basic, functional item of metalwork, but I love all the different ways they've been made to look a bit more fancy.
