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.

An Art Nouveau interpretation of the Glasgow Coat of Arms by Albert Hodge on the Anderston branch of the Glasgow Savings Bank designed by Salmon and Gillespie, and built in 1899.

A wonderfully detailed Glasgow Coat of Arms on the commemorative plaque on the Govanhill Public Baths in the Southside of the city.

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.

Love this relief sculpture on the Dennistoun Infant School building in Glasgow.

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.

Personifications of Loch Katrine (right) and Glasgow (left), with Glasgow Cathedral in the background on the Stewart Memorial Fountain in the city's Kelvingrove Park. There's also a sneaky little Glasgow Coat of Arms in the bottom left corner!

Glasgow Coat of Arms carpet in the city's Mitchell Library. It, along with a number of other carpets with rather eye-catching designs, were created when the library was extended in the 1970s to incorporate the remnants of the old Saint Andrew's Halls, which had burned down in 1962

Glasgow Coat of Arms on brass finger plates plates on the doors of the city's 1907 Mitchell Library building.

I love how the one of the left has been worn smooth by more than a century's-worth of hands entering the building.

The right hand door also has a pull handle on it, so its finger plate has much less wear, meaning the original details are much more clearly visible.

I love this deconstructed version of the Glasgow Coat of Arms by William Kellock Brown above the entrance to the former Hutchesontown District Library on McNeil Street in the Gorbals.

Fishes, rings and bell. I love this carving on the front of Shettleston Hall on Wellshot Road in Glasgow. It's part of a set of three which make up a deconstructed version of the city's Coat of Arms.

I've always loved the quality of this Glasgow Coat of Arms on the front of Saint Andrew's Parish Church (and with the building datung fron the mid 1700s, it must be one of the oldest in the city), but what's with the troll at the bottom?

Love this Glasgow Coat of Arms on the gable of 91 Buchanan Street in Glasgow, especially the sinuous fish around the outside.

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.

1840s Tudor Gothic gable and finial on 75 Trongate, Glasgow. I love their shapes, and the coat of arms is a cracker, too, especially the fish which are supporting it.
