GCHT "Mini City Break" health walk 2: St Vincent Place to Royal Exchange Square

Description

Get away for your desk and get active at lunch time by having a gander around St Vincent Place and Royal Exchange Square with Niall Murphy, Deputy Director of Glasgow City Heritage Trust.

With their superb late Georgian, Victorian Edwardian and early 20th Century commercial architecture, St Vincent Place and Royal Exchange Square are key to the city centre's character. Highlights include the tragedy of W J Anderson, James Miller's Anchor Line Building, the influence of Michelangelo; David Hamilton's Royal Exchange Square; a Renaissance palace; Charles Rennie Mackintosh's Glasgow Herald Building (aka the Lighthouse); can Brutalism be touchy feely; and, the site of the original Miss Cranston's Buchanan Street tea room.
