The Tolbooth

Was in Glasgow today and took this photo at Glasgow Cross, of the Tolbooth with the blue sky behind, it was beautiful today but very cold. I googled the following information about the Tolbooth.

'At Glasgow Cross, the old heart of the city, stands the Tolbooth steeple. The tower is now a traffic island in the middle of High Street, and is all that remains of the Tolbooth which was built in 1627 to house Glasgow's council chamber and administrative headquarters. The old building, which was attached to the tower, was demolished after the First World War.
The outline of the missing part can still be spotted by the difference in stone colour on the sides of the tower.'
