Studio Pavilion at Bellahouston Park.







 


The Studio Pavilion is a site where once a Glasgow City Council depot operated. This building adds to the campus of Arts and Heritage facilities already in use and forms part of the renowned Rennie Mackintosh inspired House For An Art Lover. With the adaptation of vacated buildings and incredible use of external spaces the new facility is a fantastic workspace for invited artists from across the spectrum. The site of Studio Pavilion is marked by its stunning park land setting and Victorian walled enclosure.

Building work was carried out by  Pan Joiners Ltd

Shawfield Stadium






 Shawfield Stadium is a venue in the Shawfield district of the town of Rutherglen, South Lanarkshire, Scotland, located close to the boundary with Glasgow.

Originally a football ground, Shawfield was home to Clyde F.C. from 1898 to 1986. Greyhound racing was introduced in 1932, and the stadium hosted the Scottish Greyhound Derby from 1970 to 1985 and from 1989 to 2019. The Glasgow Tigers speedway team were also based there, from 1988 to 1995 and 1997 to 1998, with the Scottish Monarchs also racing there in 1996. Other sports including boxing and athletics were also staged at Shawfield.

On 19 March 2020, an announcement was made to suspend racing because of the COVID-19 pandemic. In the following two years the majority of trainers moved their greyhounds to other venues as the track became derelict. In October 2022, the stadium's owner Billy King died, as of 2025 the stadium was sold and planning permission granted for a housing development.
