As I was keen to have a good look around the exterior of the Zaha Hadid designed Riverside Museum in Glasgow before venturing inside this was my first approach to the building. Seen here the side of the building is quite modest scale and stretches up to the front and rear (riverside) elevation.

A lack of wind and late afternoon sunlight have combined to create these beautiful reflections just outside of Fort William in the Scottish Highlands.

Another slightly mean and moody shot of the Norman Foster ( + Partners ) designed Armadillo on the banks of the Clyde in Glasgow.

From Wikipedia : "The Clyde Auditorium, familiarly known as "The Armadillo", is a concert venue in Glasgow, Scotland. The building sits on the site of the now infilled Queen's Dock on the River Clyde, adjacent to the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre.
Plans for a new building to increase the capacity of the SECC complex were initiated in 1995. Designed by award-winning architects Foster and Partners, the 1,100 seat venue was completed in 1997, by which time it had earned its affectionate nickname due to the similarity of its shape to that of the animal of the same name. Many comparisons have been made with the Sydney Opera House, although this was not the architects' inspiration for the design, which was in fact an interlocking series of ship's hulls, in reference to the Clyde's shipbuilding heritage.
The building has quickly become one of the most recognisable on Clydeside and one of the iconic images of modern Glasgow. Its success has led to planning for a third venue on the complex, the Scottish Hydro Arena, due for completion in 2013."

Another shot of the wonderful spiral stair from the entrance to the lobby of the CitizenM hotel in Glasgow. The use of red throughout the hotel makes for a very striking interior design feature and ties in nicely with the hotel chains logo.

The walk from the centre of Glasgow out to the Zaha Hadid Riverside Museum must've been a couple of miles but thank to this riverside walk it proved to be a very pleasant afternoon with various things to photograph along the way including the Armadillo, the Hydro Centre, the Science Centre and several photogenic bridges.
