In Glasgow, some of the most striking features of our historic buildings go unnoticed for much of the time, situated well above our heads and outside our everyday line of vision.

Pupils from four schools across the city; Hyndland Secondary School, Shawlands Academy, St Aloysius' College and St Mungo's Academy, took time out to LOOK UP and came across elements of our built heritage that are normally just out of view.

Their photographs capture the details that add up to make the City’s architectural landscape so unique.

This exhibition shows the 12 top images from the competition.

Exhibition and project supported by:
