Treasured Places

Hampden Park is Scotland's national football stadium but is also home to Queen's Park Football Club. Opened in 1903 and built to a design of Archibald Leitch, it has a distinctive oval plan and originally had a capacity of 65,000, this was later reduced to 52,000 when the terracing was replaced by seating. The Stadium incorporates the Scottish Football Museum.
