This rather unusual-looking building in sitting in between two traditional sandstone tenements on Berkeley Street in the West End of Glasgow is a former Victorian military Drill Hall for the City of Glasgow Battery, 3rd Lowland Brigade of the Royal Field Artillery. It's one a number of Victorian and early Edwardian-era drill halls around the city, many of which have quite distinctive and unique architectural designs.
The castle-like entrance to Glasgow School of Art's Haldane Building on Hill Street. It was originally built in 1897 as a drill hall and headquarters for the 1st Volunteer Batallion of the Highland Light Infantry, and was designed by the wonderfully named Horatio K. Bromhead.

This building on Jardine Street has always struck me as an unusual style to find amongst the sandstone tenements of the West End of Glasgow. It's a military drill hall that was originally built in 1894 for the Lanarkshire Royal Engineers Volunteers. It's now the headquarters of the 32 Signal Regiment.
