Magpie's Musings - Royal Concert Hall Steps
These steps have been a focal point of Glasgow's Buchanan Street, and the Buchanan Galleries Shopping Centre. They have proven to be very popular with shoppers and for those taking their lunch breaks during the summer. They also attract impromptu concerts and buskers alike.
But the steps may disappear as part of a £100m revamp and extension of the Buchanan Galleries Shopping Centre, despite protests from the public and politicians.
Surely there is a way to integrate the steps in any new design? Yes, it's a good idea to put a roof over the top end of Buchanan Street, but I see no need to take away the steps.
