Much of the material in this fascinating book has never been published before, showcasing the results of a 2011-12 partnership project with the University of Glasgow to review of all the listed and non-listed buildings on their Gilmorehill campus. As a result of the project there were 3 new listings and 48 existing listed building records were updated, providing more information about why these buildings are so special.
