Albion Street...
Ashton Lane/Cresswell Lane...
Rottenrow...(think there are some showing where the road is pot-holed).

I also recently drove over a large pot hole (can't think where!) where the cobbles underneath were exposed.

I'm sure I remember seeing St Vincent Street still fully cobbled when they were resurfacing it last year.

Walked past a length today - Napier Rd in Govan (not sure I'd want to get a camera out there).
Lots of glory to the person who can get the cobbles and the road name in one shot....

Murano Street, that runs up the side of Ruchill Park at the student village. It has a very thin layer of tarmac over the original cobbles, you can still see them at the edges just before the kerb starts. Very bumpy ride!

Thanks Fossy :)
I'll have to get that wee lane next to Anniesland Station, it still has the cart stones as well as cobbles.
