We have entries in our database for
174 cinemas that have existed in Glasgow.
Of those, we have images of some kind on our Glasgow page for 153 of them.
That means there's only 20 we don't currently have any images of at all.
Can you help ?
Got an old postcard in the loft ?
Spotted one of these cinemas in the background of an old photo?
Let us know! (also please have a look at the our Missing page for Edinburgh too!)
N.B. - you need to have the copyright on any images you send us; if you spot one of these in a book or elsewhere online, by all means let us know, but we probably won't be able to use the image without checking first with the original copyright holder.
