Glasgow, Scotland - a photo on Flickriver

Glasgow, Scotland

            The Grand Central Hotel above the entrance of the Central Station.

It was one of Glasgow's most prestigious hotels in its heyday, hosting residents as famous as Frank Sinatra and Winston Churchill.
It was originally designed by Robert Rowand Anderson, in Queen Anne style. The hotel was completed in 1883, but was extended along with the station in 1901–1906. The hotel extension was designed by James Miller and it opened on 15 April 1907. The world's first long-distance television pictures were transmitted to the Central Hotel in the station, on 24 May 1927 by John Logie Baird.
