Princes Square

Originally an open courtyard between Buchanan Street and Queen Street, the Prince's Square was designed by John Baird in 1845. During the city's period of renovation work of the mid-1980s, the square was transformed by Hugh Martin and Partners in conjunction with 'The Design Solution', renovation work allowing most of the original walls to remain. The resulting glass enclosed courtyard is as much a space for walking and socialising as it is a place for shopping, with bars and restaurants occupying the top and basement levels and several famous-name designers the intermediary levels.
