FIVE buildings in Scotland's biggest city, including a primary school and the country's first Roman Catholic teacher training college, have been put forward for listed status.
Historic Scotland will consider three buildings in the Dowanhill area of Glasgow: Notre Dame Primary School; the former Notre Dame training college; and its chapel and practising school. They have been nominated as part of Glasgow's history of education and, in particular, the education of women.
Residents have also put forward Anniesland Mansions in Great Western Road, Glasgow, which was built in the early 1900s, as a building of architectural note.
The former home of Kinning Park Co-operative Society in Coburg Street was put forward for its contribution to Glasgow's retail history. The block was packed with drapery warehouses in the early twentieth century and few reminders of that concentration of the industry remain.
A Glasgow City Council report said: ''The five buildings proposed for listing are diverse in character and style. Each has architectural merit and it is considered that they would be worthy additions to the list of buildings of special architectural or historic interest.''
The council's development and regeneration committee is expected to approve the decision on Thursday.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers.

We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
