veil of history

Love the architecture of this building especially when lit at night. An added bonus here with a suggestion of fog.

The inside is pretty cool too - a huge reference library that I used often as a student.

There is a wealth of Glasgow information including workhouse accounts, burial records, census data, local newspapers all the way back to the 18th century and old parish registers. Some of my family tree research was carried out here although Register House in Edinburgh is the main source of that.

Still, Register House doesn't look as grand on the outside as the Mitchell library does. :)
