Marble-ous

I spent the morning at a presentation in the banqueting hall of Glasgow City Chambers. The building is an amazing testament to the Victorians. This shot was snapped walking up the famous Carrera marble staircase, the largest in the world, and shows the intricate design on the ceilings.

Standing as a grand and imposing edifice overlooking George Square, it is an impressive symbol of Glasgow's political strength and historical wealth. It was designed by Scottish architect William Young a native of Paisley. Completed in 1888, the City Chambers has for over a hundred years been the headquarters of successive councils serving the City of Glasgow.

I must try a guided tour as they are free and conducted twice per day at 10.30am and 2.30pm and accommodate anyone walking in from the street.
