Highrise flats in Prospecthill
Viewed from Prospecthill Road. This housing scheme was the location for a Sony Bravia television advert - in which several paint cans exploded to Gioachino Rossini's The Thieving Magpie - although the exact buildings used for the advert have since been demolished.

Polmadie
The twin chimneys of a now disused waste incinerator plant operated by Glasgow City Council.
In the 15th century this area was a medieval hospital ran by monk, it was beside a spring and a burn (rivulet) that flowed into the river Clyde.
The name Polmadie comes from the Gaelic - Poll Mac Dè: Poll = pool - Mac = of the sons - De’= God (pool of the sons of god).
