Pollokshaws Burgh Hall
description: Built in the Scottish Renaissance style and gifted to the burgh in 1898, Pollokshaws Burgh Hall has been serving the community ever since. Known for its crow-stepped gables, remarkable clock tower and many original features it also houses the last concert-standard Wurlitzer wind organ left in Scotland. Sir John Maxwell Stirling-Maxwell, 10th Baronet of Pollok (1866-1956) commissioned Sir Robert Rowand Anderson (1834-1921) to design a Public Hall for the Pollokshaws Community. Sir Rowand created the building in the Scottish Renaissance style. He incorporated as many details from the old Glasgow College buildings as he could because the College site had been sold to Glasgow Union Railway (1863) to develop a large covered goods yard on the corner of High St/Duke St near the City centre. Income enabled the College to develop the Gilmore Hill greenfield site as Glasgow University. Outstanding architectural features recorded in the "Public Hall" include the "replica" clock tower accessed by three sections of iron spiral staircase, crow-stepped gables, decorative stone details around the doors and windows. Sir John was an active Freemason and arranged for a masonic motif above the north entrance. He donated the completed building to Pollokshaws Burgh in 1898 with a proviso that it be used by the public and community in perpetuity. Pollokshaws Burgh was annexed by Glasgow Corporation in 1912. Comprehensive Redevelopment was approved in 1958. 1,600 buildings were demolished (89% of the built heritage) to make way for 14 multi-storey blocks of flats & 29 shops to accommodate 6,780 people. Economic circumstances changed globally and locally. in 2009 the Scottish Government, GHA and GCC established Eight Transformational Regeneration Areas (TRAs): Pollokshaws is one. The multi-storeys were demolished in 2014/16 to introduce low-rise development of a mix of houses for rent and sale.

Dating from 1849, Pollokshields is a fine example of a Victorian Garden suburb. The tour includes the oldest secular building in Glasgow, a villa built by an American gun runner, Jimmy Logan's villa, an uber cool modernist villa, fine art nouveau tenements, Greek Thomson villa, a hidden gem of the Glasgow style. Various Churches, Mosques, the new Gurdwara, and Tramway's rich though tragic history. The suburb contains parks, green spaces, villas, tenements and church by some of Glasgow's well known architects including Alexandrer Greek Thomson, WJ Anderson, JC McKellar, William Hunter McNab, HE Clifford, Burnet Boston and Carruthers. The heritage of the Maxwell family is evident in gifted space for parks, bowling greens and allotments, with their varied landscapes and wildlife. The architectural styles and building materials used demonstrate the eclecticism and evolution of Victorian/Edwardian middle class taste. Within these buildings are superb interiors by talented craftsmen of sumptuous stained glass, ornamental plasterwork, cast iron and marble, wally tiles and elegant wood carvings to frame the equally interesting lives of the people who commissioned and lived in them, whose stories will be noted. You will hear about issues relating to new developments and technologies too. With its gridded streets lined with handsome tenements, terraces, shops and public buildings, East Pollokshields was developed as an upmarket tenement suburb.

Polmont Old Church
description: Built in 1732 to a design by William Adam this is a typical T-shaped church of the Presbyterian form. The south façade contains two large round-headed windows with remnants of the former tracery. The pulpit stood in the centre of the south wall, facing aisles to the north, west and east, each with a gallery. A door in each of these gables gave access to the ground floor. The galleries were reached by external stairs on the north side and the upper floor doorways mark their positions. Until last year the building was barely visible due to the growth of ivy, but recent work by the Falkirk Local History Society has seen this ivy removed. The restoration project was undertaken to enhance the World Heritage Site of the Antonine Wall, upon which the church is built.

The Scottish Government invested in a comprehensive rebuild of HMYOI Polmont, which was completed approximately 4 years ago. Polmont’s position has provided a unique opportunity to deliver the Scottish Prison Service’s vision of Unlocking Potential and Transforming Lives. For Polmont, the Vision for Young People in custody is: “To use the time a young person spends in custody to enable them to prepare for a positive future” making every contact an opportunity to learn. This vision recognises that some their time in custody may represent a chance - a rare chance - for them to engage in education or find someone who can help to point them to a better future. In addition, the approach seeks to mitigate the negative aspects of custody.

description: To celebrate LGBT+ History Month 2019, LGBT Health and Wellbeing, Scotland’s Urban Past, Scottish Civic Trust, and Our Story Scotland held a workshop in the City Art Centre Edinburgh, where we discussed the city from a queer perspective. What places are important, historic, safe, unwelcoming, personal? Using a mixture of materials, miniature pride flags and three large maps, we recorded a whole range of memories and locations. These have been used to create this online map, and a printed version showing a smaller selection of places, which will be available around Edinburgh. When looking through the map, we particularly encourage you to think about how environments can be very different for different people - especially queer people of colour and disabled people.
