Tollcross Park Glasshouse







 Tollcross Glasshouse is a "B" listed building which was recently restored at a cost of £1million pounds, but it has been underused with the council not having a plan to use it for something specific.

It is hoped that the building of toilets and a kitchen if built will attract a caffe, meanwhile the unguarded building has been targeted by vandals with over twenty windows smashed.
