Dalkeith Palace (c. 1702) on the site of an earlier castle and the seat of the Montagu Douglas Scott family. The Palace was the creation of Anna Scott, the 1st Duke of Monmouth and Buccleuch’s widow, who employed architect James Smith. Alterations by John Adam (1762) and James Playfair (1786).
"When the Duke of Monmouth died his widow, Anne, asked James Smith to use William of Orange's Palace in Holland as a model for Dalkeith Palace. James Smith completed this large Scottish Country House in 1701-11: it was deemed the grandest of Scottish Classical Houses."

This photograph gives a good impression of how Mackintosh's house (originally a stone end terrace house in a nearby street) was reconstructed as an integral part of the brutalist concrete Hunterian Art gallery (1971-1981) designed by William Whitfield. The house can only be accessed from inside the art gallery itself.

In the sculpture courtyard of the Hunterian Art Gallery, the lantern and finial designed by C.R.Mackintosh for Pettigrew and Stephen's department store, Sauchiehall Street, Glasgow (1899-1900). The store was demolished in 1973.
The Hunterian sculpture court is squeezed in between the art gallery (1971-81) itself and the University Library (1968). Both were designed by William Whitfield in a brutalist style
I caught some cute old folks gathered around the ice cream truck. They were so excited about it I had to smile and take a photo.
Pollok House stands close to the north bank of the White Cart Water as it flows through Pollok Country Park. The surrounding landscape gives every appearance of being open countryside, yet Pollok House is just over three miles south west of Glasgow city centre, and Pollok Country Park lies immediately to the east of the M77 and entirely within the built up area of the city: the park is also home to the Burrell Collection.

I love the way that approaching through the park from the west the dome of Kibble Palace seems to float towards you.

A lot of fun was had with this image...in getting the colour treatment right and i will be putting more of these up on my website with more recent architectural photography soon ... I like this simple b/w conversion though.The building is a stunner in many ways and a great addition to the city... Zaha Hadid’s building reveals itself in a constantly evolving experience as you circulate around its perimeter. Graceful and sinuous elements give way to arresting, sudden and sky-piecing vistas that confront both the viewer and the surrounding city. Here my trusty 12mm at a low vantage point, helped to get a dynamic view in the frame... although it is not hard with this building! braketing and blending 4 exposures over only about 2 stops was required.. It just happened that the wee boy turned up at the right time and was more than happy to run towards the camera!
