The distinctive former Hillhead Picture Salon in the west end of Glasgow.

Built in the 1910s, it was one of Glasgow's earliest suburban cinemas. Designed by Brand and Lithgow in a classical style, it was constructed using Hennebique Ferro concrete in order to help make it fireproof.

Originally constructed as a warehouse in 1898, this building at 516 Sauchiehall Street was redeveloped as Glasgow's first purpose-built cinema, opening in 1910 as the Charing Cross Electric Theatre. It closed in 1926 and was later turned into the Locamo Ballroom.
