Glasgow has a long and rich history and the buildings housed within this architecturally impressive city tell its tale accordingly, from its sixth-century origins, to its current role as a vibrant and cosmopolitan centre of new industry and education. Glasgow in 50 Buildings explores the history of this wonderful city by presenting a selection of its greatest architectural treasures. From the medieval Provand’s Lordship to the contemporary Riverside Museum, this unique study celebrates Glasgow’s architectural heritage in a new and accessible way. Historian Michael Meighan guides the reader on a tour of the city’s historic buildings and modern structural marvels. The churches, theatres, commercial and public edifices of Glasgow’s rich industrial heritage are presented alongside the innovative buildings of a twenty-first-century city.
