SCOTTISH CINEMAS AND THEATRES


CINEMA CITY AND BEYOND...

Welcome to the Scottish Cinemas project, a volunteer-led, non profit site
dedicated to recording and archiving our historic cinema architectural heritage
- an often overlooked part of our social history. We try to provide a
photographic and historical record of all Scottish cinema buildings, including
those now unrecognisable or otherwise highly altered over the years. Cinemas
that have now been demolished are also featured where photographs exist and
copyright allows us to use them.
There are now over 1,140 cinemas in the database, of which we have images of
over 800 buildings in over 250 different places around Scotland!
We welcome contributions of information, photographs, memories or anything else
related to Scotland's cinemas - if you have any material you'd like to share,
please do get in touch.

ABOUT US

Scottish Cinemas has been running since 2001, and was created by Gordon Barr and
Gary Painter.

We run it entirely in our spare time (so please be patient if we don't update
things quickly!).






TALKS & WALKS

We have a selection of different talks - from 10 minutes to 2 hours covering the
story of cinemas in Scotland.

We also run walking tours on request - ask us for more information!




Gordon Barr works as the Architectural Heritage Fund Development Manager for
Scotland. Before joining the AHF in 2014, he was the Heritage Development
Manager for the multi-award-winning Maryhill Burgh Halls project. Gordon has an
academic and scientific software development background. In 2011 he was
shortlisted for the Scottish Civic Trust's inaugural 'Civic Champion' award.

Gary Painter studied history and archaeology at the University of Glasgow and
supported these studies with a part-time job in the Odeon Cinema in Renfield
Street. One night, one of the senior projectionists showed him photos of the
interior as it once was, which set his industrial archaeology senses twitching.
Thus began a love affair with crawling around in voids and peering through
hatches to find forgotten remnants of buildings much altered over the years. He
now works as a Stage Doorkeeper at Glasgow's Theatre Royal.

Both Gary and Gordon are Scottish caseworkers and committee members of the
Cinema Theatre Association.
