"A Literary Education With its dreamy spires, warren-like catacombs and elegant architecture providing a centrepiece in the city's West End, Glasgow University has proved an inspiring hothouse for numerous creative minds. These include James Kelman, William Boyd, Louse Welsh and the late, great William McIlvaney to name but a few."

If you’re into architecture, the University of Glasgow is a must-see. The main building is a stunning example of Gothic Revival style, and it genuinely feels like stepping into another era. From the pointed arches and intricate stone carvings to the massive spires that reach into the sky, it’s a place that grabs your attention from every angle. Designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott in the 19th century, the building looks more like a cathedral or a fantasy castle than a university. The level of detail is insane — every window, column, and corridor has a story. The cloisters (those arched walkways under the building) are especially beautiful, and they make the whole place feel peaceful and dramatic at the same time. What’s really cool is how the building blends history with everyday life. Students walk through these centuries-old halls daily, and yet it still feels fresh and full of life. It’s one of those rare places where the architecture isn’t just for show — it’s still being used and appreciated the way it was meant to be. Even if you’re not an architecture nerd, it’s impossible not to be impressed. Take a walk through, look up, and just enjoy being surrounded by some of the most beautiful stonework in the city.

The University of Glasgow is truly a stunning place to visit, not just for its academic reputation but also for its breathtaking architecture and unique atmosphere. The main building looks like something out of a movie with its Gothic spires, grand stone facades, and beautiful courtyards, it feels like stepping into another era. Walking through the campus is like exploring a small historic city within the city. Every corner is picturesque, and the views over the River Kelvin and the surrounding parkland are simply beautiful. It’s a place that inspires awe, whether you’re a student, a tourist, or just passing by. I highly recommend taking the time to explore the campus, even if just for a peaceful stroll and a few amazing photos. It’s one of Glasgow’s true gems.

I have seen so many universities around the world due to my job but this one is one of the top five. The architecture and atmosphere amazed me. Straight from a Harry Potter movie. Definitely must see place if you are visiting Glasgow.

A must see when in Glasgow, for those that like it, the architecture shouts “Harry Potter”. Apart from that, very good gift shop.
