Love this pediment, topped with a sculpted and painted fruit basket, above the entrance to the former fruit market on Candleriggs in the Merchant City area of Glasgow.

Love this Glasgow style dome and finial combination on a corner tenement on Kelso Street on the western edge of Glasgow. Despite its location, the sculpted lettering just below the dome suggests it was built by the Clydebank Cooperative Society.

The elaborate and stunning metalwork on the top of 144 Saint Vincent Street in Glasgow which is the origin of its nickname: The Hat-Rack. Built around 1900, it was designed by James Salmon Junior, and is one of Glasgow's Art Nouveau architectural gems.

A beautiful three-masted ship finial on a gable of the Pearce Institute on Govan Road in Glasgow.

The top of the tower on the Scots Baronial style warehouse on the corner of Albion Street and Trongate in central Glasgow. Designed by J.T. Rochead, it was built for the City of Glasgow Bank in 1854. I particularly like the thistle finial right at the very top.

Love this corn sheaf finial on the mid-1800s Bishop Mills on the banks of the River Kelvin in Partick.

Partick Cross Mansions in Glasgow. Love this cupola and finial combination.

I love this lead-covered crown on James Salmon and John Gaff Gillespie's rather spectacular Glasgow Style 1899 British Linen Bank building at Govan Cross in Glasgow. For me, it rivals the one on the top of the Hat-rack on Saint Vincent Street for beauty and style.

One of the distinctive, and massive, decorative finials on the Kelvin Hall in the West End of Glasgow. The building was designed by Thomas P M Somers and was constructed in the 1920s.

The verdigris-covered dome and golden finials of Ocean Chambers on West George Street in Glasgow have a special place in my heart. They are one of the first architectural features I remember looking at in Glasgow when I was young and thinking 'Wow, that's amazing!'.
