One of the last giant cantilever cranes built on the Clyde. Specifically designed for carrying huge engines and locomotives for loading onto ships and transport across the British Empire. The design was copied across the world

Great Iconic landmark

What is there to say, it’s a massive crane and it looks pretty cool. If you’re into that sort of stuff then worth having a visit, pretty massive in real life and a good example of good engineering with a good history behind it.

REVIEWS

A lovely place for a walk and views in the heart of the city. I would recommend to someone with mobility issues as the walk to the top is steep however there’s plenty to see at all levels. Great location for also experiencing the St Mungo Museum and the Cathedral, with plenty of eateries and pubs close by also.

Tremendous experience – especially in spring. Blossoms everywhere! If you walk up on the top, there is a very nice view on the city. If you want to calm down, to read a book or bring your Date here it’s the perfect spot.

We were blessed with a sunny afternoon as we explored the Necropolis. Parking close by, just follow the signs for cathedral parking. Free to wander around. Fantastic views of Glasgow and Glasgow Cathedral which is also free to visit and well worth it.

The Tenement House

145 Buccleuch St, Glasgow G3 6QN, United Kingdom

What We Offer:

At first glance, the Tenement House appears to be an ordinary middle-class tenement from the late 19th century, standing in Garnethill. However, when you step inside, the faithfully restored four rooms appear as if frozen in time and provide a rare glimpse into life in Glasgow in the early 20th century. Shorthand typist Miss Agnes Toward lived here from 1911 until 1965, and preserved her furniture and possessions with love and care. She held on to all sorts of things that most people would have thrown away, and this extensive personal archive has become a valuable time capsule for visitors today. The Tenement House also reveals what it meant to be an ‘independent woman’ at that time. The property is a flat in an 1892 tenement building, preserved in its condition from the early 20th century.

REVIEWS

Visited this historic place and found it quite fascinating. They have kept in tack living conditions over 60 years ago going back to the late 19th century. Very well done with lots of information about this period and how people lived and managed their daily activities. The attendants were well informed and very helpful as we had many questions. History buffs will find this place interesting and should not pass it up.

Turned up just after 2 pm. The parking is on the street and cost me £2.00 for 1.5 hours. I got to the door and was greeted by one of the staff, who was very friendly and helpful. There are two flights. On the bottom floor is the information section and on the second floor is the house. I was taken aback by how remarkable it was. Taking a step back in time is an understatement. It was so surreal and mind blown. The ladies who presented it well with their knowledge and passion for what they do. I recommend you check it out. You will not be disappointed.

Here affords you a great chance to immerse in a Victorian middle-class family’s apartment vividly. The history in Glasgow becomes touchable. The voluntary docent was very friendly and helpful when we visited on a sunny afternoon. However, It’s a very pocket-sized attraction, and if you’re not a history buff, you might think it’s not worth paying for it.
