At a glance this might be mis-identified as Cheltenham or Leamington Spa, but this shallow-curved crescent is in fact just off Sauchiehall Street in Glasgow's west end and was designed by Alexander Taylor, a local architect. It was built between 1839 and 1849. The property on the immediate left is the Sandyford Lodge, offering bed and breakfast accommodation.
