Roystonhill Spire was formerly Townhead-Blochairn church, and has stood watching over Glasgow city centre since 1865.
Roystonhill Spire and Park Limited is a wholly owned subsidiary of Rosemount Development Trust Limited. Our other subsidiary, Rosemount Workspace Limited, continues to support all costs relating to the upkeep of the Spire structure.
Rosemount Development Trust previously secured funding to carry out an oral history project on the Roystonhill Spire, environmental improvements to the Spire Park, and a public art and heritage project which helped local people of all generations to get involved in creating mosaics depicting local history.
