Glasgow, the largest and most populous city in the country of Scotland, has a number of high rise buildings ranging from residential towers, offices, hotels and observation towers which stand at least 40 m (131 ft) in height. The current tallest structure in the city, at 127 metres (417 ft), is the Glasgow Tower, an observation tower within the Glasgow Science Centre. It holds a Guinness World Record for being the tallest tower in the world in which the whole structure is capable of rotating 360 degrees. The Glasgow University Tower stands at 85m, making it the city's tallest building. Meanwhile, four buildings in Springburn (the two western tower blocks of the Balgrayhill high-rise estate, and the two tower blocks at Croftbank Street) stand as the tallest continuously habitable buildings in the city at 78m, each with 26 storeys. The Ard was approved by Glasgow City Council in August 2024. With 36 storeys, and standing at 114 m (374 ft), the building will become the tallest building in both Glasgow and Scotland upon completion. The city's Cineworld building is currently the tallest cinema building in the world.
