Some more pix from my recent archive trawl 😀📷 I’m really pleased with these, buried away in a negative sheet since I took them in the 80s.
The Luma Lamp factory, Linthouse, Glasgow with its magnificent tower, now re-developed and restored, but in the 1980s looking very sad.
Opened in 1938 as a light bulb factory of the Luma Co-operative Electric Lamp Society Ltd, the factory manufactured light bulbs for the Scottish Co-operative Wholesale Society (SCWS) for sale in Co-op shops.
Designed by Cornelius Armour, the in-house architect of the Scottish Co-operative Wholesale Society, it is ‘B’ listed and is one of the best preserved examples of Streamline Moderne / Art Deco architecture in the city. #glasgow #glasgowarchitecture #scottisharchitecture #artdeco #artdeco #streamlinemoderne #luma #lumatower #lumalamp #scws #lightbulbs #lightbulbfactory #linthouse #govan #glasgowsouthside #southsideglasgow #1930s

This large glass-walled bridge over Argyle Street was the meeting point at weekends for Highlanders displaced to Glasgow during the 19th Century.
Because of the bad weather and the covered meeting place of the Highlanders, the place came to be known as the Hielanman's Umbrella (Highlandman's Umbrella).

Chimneys.
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."
