Listed Buildings in Glasgow

1826 items in Glasgow have been listed by the Scottish Ministers as being Buildings of Special Architectural or Historic Interest.

The Heritage and Design Team maintain the List for Glasgow which includes a huge range of building types and engineering structures and smaller items like statues, monuments, police, telephone and letter boxes.  One listed item such as a tenement block may comprise numerous addresses so it is estimated that several thousand properties are covered by the listings.

Listed Items are graded according to their merits:

• Category A covers buildings of national and international importance and accounts for 15% of all Listed Buildings in Glasgow. 
  
  
• Category B (70%) takes in those of regional or local significance, and
  
  
• Category C(S) (15%) contains buildings of more modest architectural or historic interest.

The interiors and exteriors of Category A, B and C(S) buildings are statutorily protected and are covered by Listed Building controls. They may not be demolished or altered without prior Listed Building Consent.

Buildings are frequently added to or removed from the List and descriptions and addresses are amended as changes to buildings occur through regeneration and restoration projects.
