The Finishing Touch: decorative features of Glasgow architecture

Glasgow has a rich architectural heritage and many important buildings such as head offices, hotels, railway stations and public buildings are finished off with sculpture, stained glass, tiles and other decoration. 

Sometimes going unnoticed are quite modest buildings, many outwith the city centre which also feature attractive finishing touches, these additions to local banks, commercial premises and houses weren’t really necessary but they showed a pride in the business or building.
