Buildings at Risk register: all 33 Glasgow buildings at ‘high risk’ or ‘critical’

The Buildings at Risk register was set up in 1990 in response to concerns about the number of listed buildings and historic buildings that were falling into a state of disrepair.

According to the register, there are now 28 buildings in Glasgow that are considered ‘high risk’.

This means that there is no imminent danger of collapse, but that it could sharply deteriorate soon unless work is carried out.

There are another five that are considered to be in ‘critical’ danger, meaning it is at risk of demolition, it could collapse and there is little chance of saving it.
