St Columba Church of Scotland, Glasgow, Gothic Revival church in Glasgow, Scotland.

The church building features pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and grand stone facades that exemplify the Gothic Revival architectural movement of the early 1900s.

Established in 1770 for Gaelic-speaking Highlanders in Glasgow, the current building opened its doors on September 17, 1904, designed by architects Tennant and Burke.

The church served as a gathering place for the Gaelic community, with regular services conducted in both Gaelic and English languages until 2020.

The building stands vacant since 2021 due to safety concerns and was listed for sale by the Church of Scotland in 2022.

A Gaelic poet from Mull carved the inscription 'Tigh Mo Chridhe, Tigh Mo Gràidh' meaning 'House of My Heart, House of My Love' on the main door lintel.
