Neptune and Ceres above the entrance to 177 Trongate in Glasgow. Dating from 1925, the sculptor is unknown, but the quality is fantastic.

A literature-themed figurative statue group on Maryhill Public Library. These were created in 1905 by William Kellock Brown, who made similar statues for many of the Glasgow libraries designed by James R. Rhind.

A bird, a fish, a bell and a tree on the facade of a 1905 tenement designed by A.B. McDonald on Stockwell Street in Glasgow. One of many examples of these four symbols all over the city.

I love all the little Green Men that are all over James Miller's 1896 St Enoch Subway Station building in St Enoch Square in central Glasgow. It probably has more than any other building in the city.
