Hillhead Baptist Church Demolition Approved | Glasgow News
Description
Glasgow’s historic Hillhead Baptist Church, built in 1883 in striking Greek Revival style, is set for demolition after the Scottish Government refused to intervene — despite outcry from hundreds and heritage groups. Approved by city council in June, developers plan 32 flats, citing financial necessity after a tie-breaking vote. The aging church, already structurally strained with a compromised roof, couldn’t be saved even with grants back in 2004. The Scottish Civic Trust called the government’s inaction “deeply disappointing,” as economic priorities edged out preservation — a bitter pill for history lovers watching a landmark vanish.
