Some of Glasgow’s most famous buildings could be immortalised in Lego, if demand is high enough.
The University of Glasgow, the Finnieston Crane and the Gallery of Modern Art, complete Duke of Wellington and cone have been created by local Lego fan Peter Johnston.
Johnston has uploaded pictures of his design to the Lego Ideas website, if he gets 10,000 likes over the course of the next year, then the review board at the toy brick company consider turning his work into an actual product. In the two days since he posted the proposals Johnston has garnered 88 likes.
On the page, Johnston says he wants to allow Lego fans to, “take a trip through the architectural sights of the lovely city of Glasgow.”
Included in his 48cm long set are a typical tenement flat, the University of Glasgow, Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery, the Gallery of Modern Art, the Finnieston Crane, the Squinty Bridge and the Glasgow Science Centre Tower measuring 9cm tall.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
