History
The building was designed by Thomas Graham Abercrombie as the headquarters of the 2nd Renfrewshire Rifle Volunteers and completed about 1896.[1] This unit evolved into the 6th Battalion, the Princess Louise's (Argyll and Sutherland Highlanders) in 1908.[2] The battalion was mobilised at the drill hall in August 1914 before being deployed to the Western Front.[3][4] The 6th Battalion amalgamated with the 5th Battalion to form the 5th/6th Battalion in 1921.[5] The building continued to be used as a drill hall until 1996.[6] It was subsequently decommissioned and sold to the University of the West of Scotland for academic use.[7]
On 11 March 2020, a fire broke out in the building causing extensive damage to the roof.[8]
