Barlinnie's days as a prison are numbered with news it is to be replaced by HMP Glasgow by 2026.
It's a grim place, with grizzly past, where until a little over 60 years ago some of Scotland's most notorious criminals met their end at the hands of the hangman.
From the first execution at Barlinnie in 1946, to the very last just 14 years later - it's a sinister period in the history of an dangerous and dark corner of the city.
