THIS photo, taken by Corrie Martin, shows a mysterious new gable-end mural in Glasgow city centre.

It’s the work of graffiti artist Sam Bates, otherwise known as Smug, whose photorealistic work has also featured during the Glasgow Commonwealth Games in 2014.

On the Lost Glasgow page alone, Martin’s image of the mural has been shared almost 20,000 times, and has been doing the rounds on Twitter.
