Scaffolding outside iconic Glasgow Egyptian Halls building still in place after 13 years

Huge scaffolding outside a historic building in Glasgow city centre still remains in place - 13 years after it was first put up.

The scaffolding, which is covered by huge advertising signs, was first erected in 2009 to protect the 150-year old A-listed Egyptian Halls building on Union Street from the elements.

Regarded as 'one of Glasgow's greatest buildings', the Alexander "Greek" Thomson designed Egyptian Halls were built between 1807 and 1872 - meaning they have stood tall on Union Street longer than Glasgow Central Station.
