Kelvinside Hillhead Parish Church
Kelvinside Hillhead’s present building on Observatory Road was originally Hillhead Church and after a 1950 union with Belmont Church in Great George Street, now flats, it became Belmont and Hillhead. A further union in 1978 with Kelvinside (Botanic Gardens) Church, now Oran Mor, brought about its present title. The parish was extended when Belhaven Westbourne Church closed. The fine quality of Victorian architecture in Glasgow is now receiving well deserved credit and our building, completed in 1876, is part of that great heritage. It was designed by James Sillars, who modelled it on the Parisian Gothic masterpiece, the Sainte Chapelle. It was built, by local subscriptions, to replace an iron church in the fields to the west of Byres Road. https://kelvinside-hillhead.org.uk/history-architecture/
