Artworks are ready to be installed at a new North Glasgow bridge.
Stockingfield Bridge, which will connect Maryhill, Ruchill and Gilsochill, is due to open in September after the towpath was opened in early August.
Near the structure, eight pieces of art will be placed, all created by local artists in collaboration with residents.
One of these monuments is due to be installed in the next few weeks, created by local ceramic artist Louise Nolan.
Her tiles, designed by members of various local groups, including Maryhill Church, Cadder Primary School, and visitors at the Burgh Hall, will decorate three-metre benches at the green space surrounding the bridge.
Last week, the artist visited the building site to start putting the tiles down.

She said: "I don't think we will ever stop making tiles, people love creating them but we have enough for this part of the project.
"We fired and glazed them. They are built to last, they need to resist the weather, so they are very robust.
"Hopefully, we'll have archaeologists digging them up and wondering what that was about."
Each piece is different, depicting animals, wildlife at the canal, messages, portraits and more.
In creating them, the 48-year-old, working with colleagues Ruth Impey and Roisin Colyer, hopes to create something everlasting.

She said: "It's not very often you get a permanent place to put work.
"This is not like dropping in somewhere and disappearing, this is about building something that we can take and keep, it's permanent.
"As an artist, being able to facilitate that, and with people who live here, is unique.
"This is a new way of doing things, we're all being allowed to shine in our own way."
Along with the decorated benches, seven other installations will be displayed in the area.
These include a ceramic mural made by Lambhill Stables, a large snake statue, granite lock stones and more.
The aim of the project is to create a space that the community feels is their own and has contributed to.
Louise added: "If you live here near Gilsochill in high flats, this is going to be our local park and to be able to go for a little wonder and be able to point out your own work, that's amazing."
