Lansdowne United Presbyterian Church on Great Western Road, 1875.
Glasgow's most imposing Gothic Revival church was designed by John Honeyman and built in 1862-1863. The carved stonework, including a medallion portrait of John Eadie, is by John Mossman. The spire rises to 218 feet (66.5 metres).
The decision of the minister John Eadie and a section of his congregation to leave Cambridge Street UP for the leafy suburbs of was controversial. As one wag put it,
Lansdowne became United Free and then Lansdowne Parish Church.
