Kelvinside: The magnificent 1896 former Kelvinside station facing Great Western Road, photographed in July 2005. The building was designed by renowned Glasgow architect John James Burnet (1857-1938). Burnet studied architecture and engineering in Paris and, after eventually returning to Glasgow to join the family firm, became responsible for many prestigious works, include Glasgow University Chapel and the Extension to the British Museum. This building, which reflects his extensive travels in Italy and love of Italian architecture, has been beautifully restored following fire damage and is now in use as a bar/restaurant.
