Glasgow Central Mosque has been officially been named a category A listed building.

Historic Environment Scotland (HES) announced that the structure, including its paved courtyard with a garden, boundary walls and railings, has been placed on the registry.

The only part of the building that is excluded is the early 21st-century hall addition to the southwest.

Elizabeth McCrone, director of Heritage at HES, said: “The Glasgow Central Mosque is a distinctive local landmark and an important building both in terms of its architecture and the role it has played in the historical development of the Scottish Muslim community.

We welcome comments through our consultation on our proposal to designate the Glasgow Central Mosque, and we welcome information that can further increase our understanding of the building and its use.”
