The Old Ship Bank Building, Saltmarket, Glasgow.

While this building was built in 1904, it's named after the city's first bank, the Glasgow Ship Bank which was established on this site in 1750 by Andrew Buchanan and other Glagow tobacco lords of the mid-18th Century who made enormous fortunes trading tobacco grown on slave plantations in North America.
