Lion & Unicorn Staircase, University of Glasgow
Designed in 1690 by William Riddell as part of the grand Lion & Unicorn staircase for the old college buildings in the High Street. The staircase was salvaged from the High Street site and re-erected at Gilmorehill in 1872. It was moved to its current location and re-configured (with a left turn, rather than the original right turn) in 1929 on construction of the Memorial Chapel and West Range by Sir John James Burnet.
