Cineworld
Cineworld Glasgow, the tallest cinema complex in the world at 62 m (203 ft) tall

This is a list of tallest buildings in Glasgow which are at least 40m (131ft) in height in the largest city in Scotland. The current tallest structure, at 127 metres (417 ft), is the Glasgow Tower within the Glasgow Science Centre. The city's Cineworld building is currently the tallest cinema building in the world.[1]

Some of the tallest buildings in the city range from 1960s tower blocks, to new office developments such as 1 Atlantic Square, St Andrew House, the Argyle Building and the Livingstone Tower. The tallest building ever to have stood in Glasgow was the 91 m (299 ft) tall Tait Tower in Bellahouston, built for the Empire Exhibition of 1938, but pulled down the following year.

The Ard was formally approved by Glasgow City Council in August 2024. The 36 storey, 125m tower will become the tallest habitable building in both Glasgow and Scotland upon completion.[2]

History of Glasgow skyline

[edit]
Glasgow City Centre skyline in September 2023
Glasgow had a high number of tower blocks, constructed primarily during the 1960s
The Red Road Flats were the tallest residential buildings in Europe upon their completion

Faced with crippling housing shortages and overcrowding in the immediate post-war period, the city undertook the building of multi-storey housing in tower blocks in the 1960s and early 1970s on a grand scale, which led to Glasgow becoming the first truly high-rise city in Britain. However, many of these schemes were poorly planned and cheaply constructed, which led to many of the blocks becoming unsanitary magnets for crime and deprivation.[3]

It would not be until 1988 that high-rises were built in the city once again, with the construction of the 17-storey Forum Hotel (latterly the Moat House International Hotel, and now the Crowne Plaza Hotel) next to the SECC. The 20-storey Hilton Hotel in Anderston followed in 1992. From the early 1990s, Glasgow City Council and its successor, the Glasgow Housing Association, have run a programme of demolishing the worst of the residential tower blocks, including Basil Spence's Gorbals blocks in 1993.[4]

Since the late 1990s, property developers have been planning new upmarket residential and office high-rises along the River Clyde, and in the city's financial district, which would far surpass these in height. Several proposed skyscrapers, such as Elphinstone Place which would have become the cities and Scotland's tallest, were cancelled due to financial reasons.

The term "tallest building in Glasgow" is itself ambiguous. Currently, two structures in the city have made a claim for the title depending on which measurement is used:

  • The Glasgow Tower as part of the Glasgow Science Centre on Prince's Dock on the South Bank of the River Clyde, holds the overall title as the tallest free-standing structure in Glasgow, and the whole of Scotland at a height of 127 m (417 ft), however this measurement includes the structure's spire. It holds a Guinness World Record for being the tallest tower in the world in which the whole structure is capable of rotating 360 degrees.[5]
  • From 1968 until their demolition in 2015, both the Red Road Flats and the Bluevale/Whitevale twin towers were the tallest buildings in Glasgow at 92m. The Red Road Flats were also the tallest residential buildings in Europe upon their completion.[6]
  • Between 2015 and 2023, the two western tower blocks of the 26-storey Balgrayhill high-rise estate in Springburn were the tallest buildings in Glasgow at 72m.[7]
  • The Ard was approved by Glasgow City Council in August 2024. With 36 storeys, and standing at 114m (374ft), the building will become the tallest habitable building in both Glasgow and Scotland upon completion.[8]
