St Andrew's in the Square, Category A listed Georgian church in Glasgow, United Kingdom
The classical church features ornate gilded plasterwork, a flat arch portico, and four levels spanning 13,000 square feet in a central urban location.
Built between 1739 and 1756 by Master Mason Mungo Naismith, the church was commissioned by Glasgow's Tobacco Lords to display their economic power.
The building now functions as Glasgow's Centre for Scottish Culture, offering performances of traditional music, dance, and song throughout the year.
The main hall accommodates 250 guests, while the lower ground floor includes a restaurant for 100 people and a commercial kitchen.
In 1785, crowds gathered at the churchyard to watch Vincenzo Lunardi launch his hot air balloon flight toward Hamilton and Lanark.
