The Glasgow Waterfront has many iconic buildings to see (& photograph) on this section from Exhibition Centre to the City Centre. We've been here a couple times before though so skipped straight to the Finnieston Crane to try and get an arty black & white photo. I think I prefer the one with the dog selfie in front though 😅
There's interesting modern(ish) architecture and many bridges along the way including Bell's Bridge, the Squinty Bridge, the Kingston Bridge carrying the M8 motorway, the Squiggly Bridge, George V Bridge and then the Caledonian Railway Bridge.
The Caledonian Railway Bridge carries all the rail lines into Glasgow Central high level platforms. It took six years to construct and when opened in 1905 was reputed to be the widest railway bridge in the world. It replaced an earlier 1870s bridge which carried a quickly insufficient four tracks into Central.

The pillars of the first Caledonian Railway Bridge can still be seen right next to the current bridge. The rest of the bridge was dismantled in the 1960s.
