Albert Bridge, Glasgow
During the Commonwealth Games, the parapets were blanketed in pink "People Make Glasgow" banners.
Historic Scotland describes it as "the only substantial wrought-iron arched bridge in Scotland, comparable to Westminster (London) Trent (Nottingham) and Lendal (York) Bridges in England".
Renovation of the bridge was under way in early 2016.
