Synopsis
In this guide, the reader will find Glasgow's buildings grouped geographically. Five areas have been determined which show the town's development from medieval cathedral town to the New Town expansion promoted by a mercantile aristocracy in the late 18th century to the industrial, commercial and residential growth that accompanied Glasgow's rise to beome Second City of the Empire. Within the five principal aras are several sub-groups in each of which the more interesting buildings of a particular locality have been identified. Most of these local groupings can be reagarded as city walks. While an attempt has been made to be comprehensive, to offer a wide range of building types and to show the work of Glasgow's finest architects past and present, an architectural guide such as this, based predominantly on a compilation of individual buildings, must run a risk of misrepresentation. The author has thus also selected whole areas beyond the centre of town such as Park, Woodside and Hyndland which should provide a changce to experience the terraced and tenemented subjurbs which also form part of Glasgow's townscape.
