"The "Greater Glasgow" described here is like a doughnut, a City less the hole in the middle - which has already been published as "Central Glasgow".

Introduction to Greater Glasgow: An Illustrated Architectural Guide (forthcoming)

This project has been working with communities to explore their built environment and how it connects directly with their Scottish and local heritage. RCAHMS has been working in partnership with the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS) to produce Greater Glasgow: An Illustrated Architectural Guide (forthcoming) to accompany the existing volume Central Glasgow: An Illustrated Architectural Guide (Rutland Press, 1989).

RCAHMS can also help you with a rich source of information and a huge selection of drawings and photographs on your local area. Below you will find a range of images from our archive for Greater Glasgow.
