Just
along from the college is St Enoch Bridge. This five-arch bridge dates from
1898-1902, replacing the original City of Glasgow Union Railway’s structure of
1867. It was primarily to serve the then new St Enoch Station.
Described
in Buildings of Scotland as “a clean cut, white-tiled cube” the main
buildings of the Glasgow College of Nautical Studies were opened in 1969 by Lord
Mountbatten of Burma.
The rooftop has radar masts and a planetarium, and near the river the college extends across an overhead link to a jetty.
This part of the riverside has an upgraded walkway with reproduction Glasgow lampposts as seen in Carlton Place.
