Statement of Special Interest

The windows to the tower contain stained glass by the Glasgow stained glass designer Stephen Adam. Those on the 1st floor feature portraits of Robert Burns, Robert Tannahill, Allan Ramsay, Walter Scott and James Hogg. All windows have floral motifs.

There is a stained glass panel to the interior door by Stephen Adam depicting Flora, Roman Goddess of Flowers and the Season of Spring.

Stephen Adam (1848-1910) was one of the Scotland's foremost stained glass artists of the latter part of the 19th century. He was apprenticed to the studio of James Ballantine in the late 1850s, and opened his own studio in Glasgow in 1870. The studio produced both ecclesiastical and domestic stained glass and examples can be seen in churches throughout Scotland. Adam also designed a number of panels depicting local industries for Maryhill Burgh Halls (1878).

The building was formerly a bank with associated bank house. The bank closed in 2014 and the building is now one property.

Statutory address revised in 2016. Previously listed as 'Royal Bank of Scotland, 1 Brown's Road and Lamlash House, 1 Brown Street'. Listed Building Record updated, 2016.

About Listed Buildings

Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating sites and places at the national level. These designations are Scheduled monuments, Listed buildings, Inventory of gardens and designed landscapes and Inventory of historic battlefields.

We make recommendations to the Scottish Government about historic marine protected areas, and the Scottish Ministers decide whether to designate.

Listing is the process that identifies, designates and provides statutory protection for buildings of special architectural or historic interest as set out in the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997.

We list buildings which are found to be of special architectural or historic interest using the selection guidance published in Designation Policy and Selection Guidance (2019)

Listed building records provide an indication of the special architectural or historic interest of the listed building which has been identified by its statutory address. The description and additional information provided are supplementary and have no legal weight.

These records are not definitive historical accounts or a complete description of the building(s). If part of a building is not described it does not mean it is not listed. The format of the listed building record has changed over time. Earlier records may be brief and some information will not have been recorded.

The legal part of the listing is the address/name of site which is known as the statutory address. Other than the name or address of a listed building, further details are provided for information purposes only. Historic Environment Scotland does not accept any liability for any loss or damage suffered as a consequence of inaccuracies in the information provided. Addresses and building names may have changed since the date of listing. Even if a number or name is missing from a listing address it will still be listed. Listing covers both the exterior and the interior and any object or structure fixed to the building. Listing also applies to buildings or structures not physically attached but which are part of the curtilage (or land) of the listed building as long as they were erected before 1 July 1948.

While Historic Environment Scotland is responsible for designating listed buildings, the planning authority is responsible for determining what is covered by the listing, including what is listed through curtilage. However, for listed buildings designated or for listings amended from 1 October 2015, legal exclusions to the listing may apply.

If part of a building is not listed, it will say that it is excluded in the statutory address and in the statement of special interest in the listed building record. The statement will use the word 'excluding' and quote the relevant section of the 1997 Act. Some earlier listed building records may use the word 'excluding', but if the Act is not quoted, the record has not been revised to reflect subsequent legislation.

Listed building consent is required for changes to a listed building which affect its character as a building of special architectural or historic interest. The relevant planning authority is the point of contact for applications for listed building consent.
