Gordon R. Urquhart's 'A Notable Ornament Lansdowne Church: An Icon of Victorian Glasgow'

Attended the launch of Gordon R. Urquhart's superb new book this afternoon (18th June, 2011). 'A Notable Ornament Lansdowne Church: An Icon of Victorian Glasgow' is a lavishly illustrated history of Lansdowne Church in Great Western Road, the one with the tallest spire in the city. My own contribution to the book was some biographical information on the building's sculptors and a photograph of the famous devil carved at its south west door. I am very grateful to Gordon for his acknowledgements, and I can only return his generosity by recommending the book to anyone interested in Glasgow's architecture and the work of John Honeyman.
