A 134-year-old historic building in Glasgow is set to re-open to the public after undergoing a £9.6m restoration. Maryhill Burgh Halls was built as a seat of municipal government in 1878. By 2001 it was derelict and placed on the city's buildings at risk register. Restoration work, started in 2009, has now created a modern public hall with office space, a recording studio, nursery, and a courtyard garden.

The award-winning project will be officially re-opened on Thursday night. Maryhill Burgh Halls Trust led the project to raise funds for the restoration of the building. The Trust attracted major investment from the European Regional Development Fund, the Scottish government, the Heritage Lottery Fund and Glasgow City Council.
