A Scottish photographer has shared a series of photos taken around Glasgow's southside that showcase 'then and now' images of the city.
Tony Gillanders was walking with his dog when he decided to snap some photos across the city. He then compared them to photos taken in years gone by to highlight the differences.
Among the southside spots that Gillanders captured are the Royal Samaritan Hospital, the Govanhill Library, and the old Crosshill Railway Station. While the library looks very similar today, it is fascinating to see how the other buildings have changed.
The Royal Samaritan Hospital was a hospital for women in Govanhill that was originally established in 1886 when it was based at 67 South Cumberland Street. It later moved to 67-69 Coplaw Street in Govanhill, before closing in 1991 and being converted to housing.
Meanwhile, Gillanders' photo of the old Crosshill Railway Station shows how different the building once looked. It was once a fully constructed stone building with a roof, while now there is just a simple path that leads to the platforms.
Gillanders combined the before and after pictures into single images and shared the results on the Scotland from the Roadside Facebook group. He wrote: "Some Glasgow southside 'Then & Now' shots I took on my walk today."
Before long, the post had received nearly 200 likes from fellow Facebook users. Many also left comments sharing their thoughts on the "marvellous" pictures.
"Everything looks so much nicer back then," one wrote, while a second said: "Lovely photos and no street signs! Would love to be able to go back in time to those days."
A third posted: "Marvellous work. Thank you for sharing. Fascinating stuff."
A fourth shared: "Great pictures! I remember that area very
