Architecture

Visit Glasgow and you will be in no doubt why the City was awarded the prestigious accolade of UK City of Architecture and Design 1999.

Marvel at the outstanding works of Charles Rennie Mackintosh including the House for an Art Lover in Bellahouston Park and Scotland Street School located south of the river in the Kinning Park area of the city and right in the heart of the city you can see his works at the Willow Tea Rooms in Sauchiehall Street.

Alexander Greek Thomson was another who managed to add his signature to the face of the city that many would be proud of. One of his finest works is the Caledonia Road Church at the Gorbals and closer to the City you can find the Buck's Head Building on Argyle Street.

At the east of the City Centre you will be able to see the outstanding medieval Glasgow Cathedral at Cathedral Square where you can also see the Saint Mungo Museum of Religious Life & Art which, contrary to its appearance was built in the 1990s.

Wander round the City and you will see a multitude of outstanding buildings and structures including:

• Glasgow Necropolis 
• St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art 
• The McLennan Arch
• The Peoples Palace and Winter Gardens
• The City Chambers
• Glasgow's River Clyde Bridges
