Situated in the Merchant City in the heart of Glasgow, the Trades Hall is one of the most important historic buildings in Glasgow.

Designed and built from 1791-1794 by Robert Adam and his brothers, the Trades Hall was built to serve as a public hall and meeting place for  the city’s Trades House & 14 Incorporated Crafts.

Today, the Trades House still meets in the building, which apart from the mediaeval cathedral is the only building in Glasgow still used for its original purpose.
