Squinty Bridge
Ok it's officially the Clyde Arc - but a bridge designed like this in Glasgow is never going to be anything else but 'squinty'.
It wasn't very popular when it was first built especially after a supporting cable snapped and left it closed for weeks. But it seems to have caught on now.
On the left of the pic, beside the flats, is the south rotunda - the north rotunda is on the other side of the river. Underground tunnels with hydraulic lifts were built between the two buildings in the 19th century, two for horses and carts and one for pedestrians. A part of hidden Glasgow.
