Saint Andrew's Parish Church in the east end of Glasgow. Designed by timber and lead merchant Alan Dreghorn and built in 1739, it's based on James Gibb's Saint Martin-in-the-Fields, which was built in 1722. This was the first large scale classical church in Scotland.

@thisismyglasgow I love the 18th century, when random timber merchants could turn their hands to architecture and turn out something as beautiful as this!
@lordofthemoon Is it any stranger than an internet business creator thinking they can build a spacecraft? 🤣
