The Adam Smith Business School (formerly known as 'Adam Smith School of Economics and Finance') at the University of Glasgow continues an academic record which dates back to the father of economics, Adam Smith (1723–1790). Serving as Professor of Moral Philosophy, he published a series of seminal works such as The Theory of Moral Sentiments, The Wealth of Nations and Lectures on Jurisprudence; the culmination of which set a foundational precedent for classical economic theory 300 years after the university's inception in 1451.

The Curlers Rest, formerly the Curlers Tavern, is the oldest drinking establishment on Byres Road, Glasgow, Scotland. A tavern is said to have been situated at this site since the 17th century, when this part of the city was still countryside. The rural connection is today only remembered in the name Byres Road, from the lands known as the Byres of Partick. The present pub is housed in an 18th-century two-story cottage-type building and derives its name from the large pond, which could be found nearby. Every winter curlers came to play on the ice. Furthermore, the Partick Curling Club (established in 1842) had its pond here in 1848. There is also a legend associated with the pub which claims that King Charles II came riding one cold winter’s day towards Glasgow on what was then a lonely highway and "spotting the inviting hostelry called a halt for refreshments. Finding it shuttered and barred, the landlord was quickly rousted out and told to open up in the name of the King which he did with the satisfaction that "the Merry Monarch bestowed upon the inn the right, by Royal Charter, to be open day and night, Sundays included, in perpetuity". The Charter is rumoured to survive today in Register House in Edinburgh. As you look at the building from the front, there are three doors. In the past there were three bars here, the door on the left leading through the lounge bar, the door on the right to the small snug, and the door in the middle leading upstairs to the hall space/banqueting area above. From 1999 till June 2010 the pub was a Scream pub geared firmly towards students. It was then refurbished and rebranded as the Curler's Rest.

The Western Baths Club is a Victorian era private swimming and leisure club founded in 1876. The club remains at its original site at 12 Cranworth Street, Hillhead, Glasgow. The 19th-century baths, designed by Glasgow architects Clarke & Bell, are protected as a category A listed building. Along with the Arlington Baths it is one of two clubs of its kind left in Glasgow. In recent years the club acquired adjacent ground and erected a new building to house a modern sports hall and gym thereby further enhancing the Club's facilities. It is also a founding member of the Historic Pools of Britain. The Baths are distinctive for their period trapeze and exercise rings over the swimming pool. The 'Baths' as they are more commonly known have survived through mix fortunes over their many years of existence. Having at one point closed and lay almost derelict but were reopened, a similar fate nearly closed the Baths in the 1970s known as "the day the roof fell in". The huge Victorian roof collapsed at the shallow end of the pool and with the Cochrane oil-fired boiler rarely working, the whole place was trading at a loss and the membership rapidly dwindling. The Secretary William M Mann CBE, secured advance funding. The position of Bathsmaster was simply manager but the title referred to those of Victorian swimming pools/clubs. In its long life there were only been five postholders; Campbell, Jamieson, Wilson and Anderson. The Baths will continue to have a manager, but the term has changed to general manager (a title previously held by Mr Campbell, who was promoted to general manager, and for a brief period in the 1980s Mr McKellar) who had overall control of all aspects of the club. The new position of general manager was awarded to Fraser Makeham, who spent just short of 12 years with the 'Baths' until his resignation; he was succeeded by Mr Lee Ross, who was the deputy general manager; however, Mr Ross has now accepted the post of facilities manager, with Graham Butler McIntosh taking up the post as general manager. W M Mann died in December 2019. Changed days since Alison F Blood with her book Kelvinside Days, she wrote, "there were of course other baths in Glasgow, but the Western Baths were simply known as the 'Baths' and no one would have thought otherwise..."

The University of Glasgow Memorial Chapel is a chapel at the University of Glasgow, Scotland. It was consecrated on 4 October 1929, and is dedicated to the memory of the former students and staff of the university who died in the First World War.

The Lion and Unicorn Staircase, at the University of Glasgow, is located next to the university's Memorial Chapel on the west side of the Main Building. It consists of two flights connected by a landing, the upper flight turning ninety degrees to the left from the lower flight. There is a balustrade adorned with sculptures of a unicorn on the left and a lion on the right. Along with the Memorial Chapel and the adjacent Gilbert Scott Building, it is protected as a Category A listed building.The staircase originally formed part of the university's Old College site on High Street, situated in the Outer Court and leading to the Principal's Residence and the Fore Hall. On 20 June 1690, the university instructed William Riddel, a mason, to place stone bannisters on the staircase with figures of a lion and a unicorn on the first turn, for which he was paid twelve pounds sterling. Work began on 30 June and finished on 15 August that year.When the university moved to its new site in Gilmorehill in 1870, the staircase was transported and incorporated into the new building, along with parts of the High Street gatehouse, which were rebuilt as Pearce Lodge. When the Main Building of the university was originally built, the West Quadrangle was not enclosed on all sides; instead, on the west side, a staircase stood at each end of a small landscaped garden leading from the elevated grass of the quadrangle to the lower level of The Square, where the Principal's and Professors' houses were. The Lion and Unicorn Staircase was the southern of these.The quadrangle was subsequently enclosed when the new Memorial Chapel and additional facilities were built along that side between 1914 and 1929, and the Lion and Unicorn Staircase provided access to these from The Square. When first installed in Gilmorehill, the staircase turned right at its middle landing (as it did in its original site), but was altered at this time to turn left. At its original site in the Old College, the staircase had led to the Fore Hall; amongst the new rooms created with the 1929 Gilmorehill expansion was a new hall, also named the Fore Hall.
