Work Starts at the West Boathouse
Over five years in development, the West Boathouse project will repair and adapt this beautiful listed building to improve accessibility, upgrade facilities and provide flexible, multi-use spaces.
The renovation project runs in tandem with community heritage activities designed to open the building to new audiences and encourage people to re-engage with the River Clyde. Read more about it here. |

Glasgow Building Preservation Trust is delighted to welcome five new appointments to the Board.
Following an open recruitment process, the Board will benefit from the skills and experience of Liz Davidson, Charles Turner, Karen Mailley-Watt, Dr Andrew Agapiou and Kate Anderson. We know that the new appointments will continue GPBT’s work and strengthen our connections in Glasgow’s heritage communities and further afield.
