Scottish Cinemas and Theatres

The B-listed Dominion is a wonderful and doubly rare survivor: it is both an independent cinema, and a suburban cinema.

Opened in January 1938, much of the original decoration by architect T Bowhill Gibson survives, including the central ceiling 'spine' in Screen 1, that draws the eyes towards the screen. Twinned in 1972, the original circle was extended fully forward to form Screen 1. An additional screen was added in 1980 in space above the foyer. Now with four screens and a restaurant, the Dominion focuses on providing comfort and 'gold standard' service, including reclining armchairs and complimentary drinks to entice customers, a policy that seems to be working well. Long may it continue.

Screen 1 has 419 seats, 2 has 206 seats, 3 has 47 seats, and 4 has 60 seats.
