Kibble Palace, Glasgow Botanic Gardens

Kibble Palace, Glasgow Botanic Gardens
Kibble Palace is a 19th-century wrought iron framed glasshouse, covering 2137 m2. Originally designed for John Kibble by architects James Boucher and James Cousland for his home at Coulport on Loch Long in the 1860s, the components were cast by Walter Macfarlane at his Saracen Foundry in Possilpark. Eventually brought up the River Clyde by barge to the Botanic Gardens, it was fully erected at its current location in 1873 by Boyd of Paisley. Quoted from Wikipedia.

Wow, how I like this glasshouse, Joe. I remember I saw one in Paris, one in Madrid.
