The University it is located just in front of Kelvingrove Museum and is very easy to reach the main building of the University walking through Kelvingrove Park.
As you can see on the picture,just seeing the exterior of this beautiful building it worth a visit,this is one of most beautiful and oldest buildings of Glasgow University.
Many main rooms of the building are open to public and inside you can see another very interesting museum.......THE HUNTERIAN MUSEUM,don't hesitate and come to see the oldest museum in Scotland!.
Also there are other rooms and interior patios that can be visited.
This is an exterior view of the main building. Leave a Comment

 tower of main building by jeniferkik |
The University of Glasgow was founded in 1451, by Bishop Turnbull. The names on the gate are of notable alumni over the years and include Lord Kelvin, Joseph Lister and Adam Smith.
The second photo shows part of the gates, with some detail shows some of those names.
I am indebted to Dedalus54 for giving me the names of both Bishop Turnbull and the famous alumni.
At present there are 10,000 students attending the University. Leave a Comment Address: At the University on University Avenue.

The general location is west of the River Kelvin, south of Western Avenue, however the short tour of the original buildings does suggest that the University is now located on both sides of Western Avenue.
The second photo shows the general facade of the University as seen from Western Avenue at the main entrance. The view is at the west end of the complex, inside are some of the classrooms.
The third photo is a relatively new piece of, can it be called a Sculpture? To commemorate a retired Professor?
Photo 4 shows the stained glass window in the chapel on the west side of the main building.
The Finla photo shows a deatil of one of the several pews in the chapel. As we visited, the organist was rehearsing for a Television production , technicians were setting the lighting and the sound. Leave a Comment Address: Wetsern Avenue after Kelvin Way.Directions: In the general area of Byers Road and Western Infirmary.
