Glasgow has always lost out on tourists to its more historic eastern cousin, Edinburgh, thanks in no small part to its massive castle - but the old Glasgow Corporation was always keen to try and steal some tourists away over to the West, today we're looking back at all the old Glasgow attractions that have been lost through time.
Nowadays it can feel like Glasgow City Council have given up on trying to attract tourists - the last concerted effort we can think of was the 'Glasgow's Miles Better' campaign of the 90s - meaning we've lost a lot of the old attractions that used to lure folks into Glasgow.
Whether it be exhibitions of the early 20th century adding massive towers to the skyline for a few short months - or old transport methods that used to make the city famous - for one reason or another, these are the 15 best tourist attractions that Glasgow has lost to time.

6. Old College Bar
For years people thought the Old College Bar was the oldest pub in Glasgow - until it closed down and the manager admitted it was a fib to drum up custom - nonetheless the myth endures today even years after its been gone. The title rightfully belongs to The Scotia on Stockwell Street. | Glasgow City Archive

7. Glasgow Apollo
The venue gave artists the chance to perform in front of one of the most demanding audiences in the world which still has a special place in the hearts of many musicians who performed at the venue. Speaking ahead of his gig at Glasgow Apollo in 1978, David Bowie said: “I started off here about ten years ago or something like that and it has always been a favourite of mine. It’s an exceptionally exciting audience to work to. They just seem very intoxicated with the idea of a theatrical show.” It was demolished and replaced with the massive Cineworld on Renfield Street. | Supplied
