We wholeheartedly support the comments regarding the state of buildings, not just those designed by Mackintosh but also by other well known architects.
Swathes of Glasgow's unique Victorian architecture deserve care and attention. Glasgow City Heritage Trust was established five years ago to promote and encourage the understanding, appreciation and conservation of Glasgow's historic buildings for the benefit of the city's communities and its visitors, now and in the future. In the past year alone we have distributed £1million to help towards the cost of essential repairs to 81 historic properties. Our grants ensure that many of Glasgow's historic buildings are wind and watertight and are repaired with appropriate skills and materials to preserve their character. The funding has been provided by Historic Scotland and Glasgow City Council.The council has also worked with us to enhance the civic realm and preserve prominent or community-owned buildings.
