I love this Art Nouveau style version of the Glasgow Coat of Arms on one of the buildings of the old Lambhill Street School in the Kinning Park area of the city.

The coat of arms of the National Commercial Bank of Scotland on a former branch on Gallowgate in Glasgow. The National Commercial Bank was established in 1959 by the merging of two older banks: The National Bank of Scotland, established in 1825, and the Commerical Bank of Scotland established in 1810. In 1969, the National Commercial Bank itself merged with the Royal Bank of Scotland.

The newest instance of the Glasgow Coat of Arms on the snout of the Beithir by Nichol Wheatley which was recently unveiled at the Stockingfield Bridge on the Forth and Clyde Canal.

A rather wonderful Glasgow Coat of Arms embedded in the wall of new flats built on the site of the 1920s Whiteinch Public Baths building.

The Art Deco style font used for the city's motto at the bottom is just so elegant, and I love the animal heads on either side, which I think are either seals or otters.

It's great that this coat of arms has been preserved, but it's in a rather odd position at the base of a side wall where it's easily missed and it could have been placed in a much more prominent location.

These two Parrots I spotted supporting a coat of arms on a building on Queen Street in Glasgow confused me somewhat, until I realised it's the crest of the Buchanan Society and they're meant to be Peregrine Falcons!

Ornate lamp featuring the Glasgow Coat of Arms over the entrance to a tenement close in the Strathbungo area of the city.

Such lamps usually signify that an occupant of a building is (if there's two) or once was (if there's just one) the Lord Provost of Glasgow.

For some reason, the first thing which popped into my head when I saw this shield on the vaulted ceiling under the Tron Steeple was Billy Connolly and this famous quote:

"Never trust a man who, when left alone in a room with a tea cozy, doesn't try it on."
