Before meeting friends in Glasgow I had a quick wander around the city centre and decided to take photos of some of the clock towers. 
The first one at the Briggait is the oldest dating from 1659 when it was part of the Merchants’ House trade headquarters at the time.   Subsequently it was incorporated into the fish market that was built in 1873 and is now converted into artists’ studios.
The round dome shaped top was added almost 200 years ago to the town house which had been built for a wealthy Tobacco Lord in 1778.  Since then it has had many alterations and additions with many being done after it was bought by the Royal Bank of Scotland in 1817  The building was later used for Stirling’s Library and since 1996 has been  GOMA, the Gallery of Modern Art.
The two clocks on Hutchison’s Hall or Hospital were the only ones that was wrong. The elegant spire is on the building that replaced the former hospital in 1805.  It too was also used by Stirling’s Library and by a bank and now offices of the National Trust of Scotland. 
The last tower is above St George’s Tron Kirk and built in 1807.
