The Category B Listed West Boathouse was built by the Glasgow Corporation in 1905 to designs by the city surveyor Alexander Beith MacDonald. The West Boathouse is said to be among the grandest of its kind in Britain, occupying the ideal location for rowing on the River Clyde, within Glasgow Green. The building is of a timber frame construction which in itself is a rare building type from that period. The building has been fully refurbished and remains in active use by the rowing clubs.
The West Bpathouse is home to three rowing clubs who ahare the newly refurbished facility. It provide all the facilities required for members, who range from very young to venerable, so access is limited to cater for our responsibility to our Vulnerable groups.
Access is also limited to the foyer and upper floor due to HSE protection in the boathouses, and a strict upper floor occupancy of 100 people.
