1 University Gardens on Glasgow University's Gilmorehill Campus. It was designed by Robert Ewan and was built in 1902. Originally a private townhouse, in 1922 it became home to the Queen Margaret's Union, at the time the University's female student union (created in 1890 as women were not allowed to join the all-male Glasgow University Union). In 1968, the QMU moved to its current locaton at the other end of University Gardens.

This is Glasgow University's James Black Building. It's named after James Black, a physiologist who pioneered rational drug design. He is also one of Scotland's 12 winners of a Scientific Nobel Prize. This gives Scotland the second highest number of Scientific Nobel Prizes per capita of any country in the world (it has a Nobel Index of 222.2 just behind Switzerland, which has 223.8).

Glasgow University's Boyd Orr Building. Designed in a Brutalist style by Dorward, Matheson, Gleave and Partners and built in 1972, it's names after the biologist John Boyd Orr, one of only two Scottish winners of the Nobel Peace Prize. He won it in 1949 for his scientific work on nutrition and his work as the first general director of the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation.

First that building #photo from July 2023 is after the deadbeat tenant stopped paying rent and stiffed the landlord, I believe. Please fact check.
