The OP Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Maybe not feasible with the granary, but Speirs Wharf is a good example of how to properly turn an industrial building next to a bit of water in Glasgow into flats. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The OP Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 I wouldn’t exactly say it’s my favourite building but I like this picture of a wee chunk of original tenement in the Gorbals standing its ground in front of the monstrosity that replaced it And the same wee chunk still standing after the monstrosity has gone 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweet Pete Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 Always been very fond of Glasgow Central Station A hugely underrated station aesthetically. I think possibly it's sheer size works against it in that it's so large in scale that you can't take it all in up close to appreciate it. I was at a wedding there a while back after it's hotel had been renovated and it's great inside. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darren Posted November 15, 2017 Share Posted November 15, 2017 We seem to have reached consensus that the McManus is Dundee's standout building. Glasgow Central is the best major train station in Scotland and maybe only second to St Pancras in the UK unless anyone can direct me to a better looking one? I love architecture. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Crathie Court flats in the top left of the pic were Glasgow's first high rises to be built (1952) and are still standing long after many others have been demolished. Also being deceived by the height of the photo, makes Thornwood & Partick look totally flat. You can see my house from here etc. I have a vague memory of the granary mid-demolition containing some humourous graffiti "from" the 1960s about football but I think it was probably added by demolition workers at the time as it was so visible on what would have been an interior wall. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milton75 Posted November 16, 2017 Share Posted November 16, 2017 Loving the station pics. Slightly ashamed to admit that I was semi-addicted to that railway journey programme Portillo did. He also had knob in hand when gushing about Central Station. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got stuck at Perth for 30 mins once, The Perth-Dundee-Aberdeen side is usual crap, but if you wander round and go into where the Perth-Inverness lines are the architecture is beautiful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
