About

Roystonhill Spire is the only remaining part of Townhead-Blochairn Parish Church built in Glasgow in 1866.

Designed by architects Campbell Douglas and Stevenson in the French Gothic style, the church featured stained-glass windows by the world-famous William Morris company, interior design and glass by Glasgow artist Daniel Cottier and sculptures by John Mossman.
