The Victorian grandeur of The Barony is a spectacular contrast to the clean lines of Strathclyde’s Technology and Innovation Centre. Dating from 1889 this former church – whose south front is inspired by Dunblane Cathedral, with a floor plan based on the Cathedral in Gerona, Spain – is a splendid neo-gothic confection in red sandstone on the edge of the Merchant City, in Glasgow’s historic heart. www.strath.ac.uk/conferencingandevents The Barony
