High Carntyne Church, 358 Carntynehall Road, 1931, James Taylor Thomson
Simplified Romanesque, in brick with stone dressings and slate roof. Nave, low south aisle, transepts and chancel, leaded east window. West gable front, three-light gallery window set in round-arched panel. Thomson designed the Church of Scotland Pavilion, the Palace of Industries, West and the Concert Hall at the 1938 Empire Exhibition. The Concert Hall especially, designed under Thomas Smith (T S) Tait's guidance, shows Thomson's transition to a simplified modernist style.
