I like James Watt’s house too.
You’re right to, it’s very pretty & rustic. There were some gorgeous buildings in the city. It’s a shame the Victorian were such enthusiastic demolitionists in the name of Improvement.
Fascinating to see these long gone buildings and different perspectives on some that remain eg cathedral from Molendinar Burn.
I’m really happy you’re enjoying them. I think my favourite out of the above views has to be No. 687, a wee cottage with laundry out to dry where Buchanan St meets Sauchiehall Rd (now St), I guess it’s near where the steps lead up to the Royal Concert Hall now.
