Big Noise, Coplaw Street
Forsyth House, a former church, dating from 1903, now operating as 'Big Noise' - a community based social transformation programme that aims to use intensive, immersive orchestral music making to foster confidence, teamwork, pride and aspiration in the children taking part – and across the wider community.
It is run by Sistema Scotland - a charity with a mission to create permanent social change in some of the most deprived communities in Scotland. The Govanhill facility (one of three operated by the charity) was set up in 2013. See [http://www.makeabignoise.org.uk/big-noise/] for more information.

Wall between two tenements
This brick wall has been built between two sandstone tenements on Coplaw Street, and can just be seen in this view [http://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/5518681].
The wall incorporates an art work - the blue outlines of boots and shoes, and the metalwork above the wall incorporates a cobbler at work, wielding a hammer.
The graffitied sign on the wall (which rather spoils the artwork) reads:
Govanhill
DANGER
NO
CLIMBING
FENCE
Which is correct - it's a wall!

The tenements on the left are unusual in having a red sandstone ground floor, but yellow sandstone for the upper floors.
