The Haldane Building is a former drill hall at Hill Street in Garnethill, Glasgow.
The building was designed by Horatio Kelson Bromhead as the headquarters of the 1st Volunteer Battalion the Highland Light Infantry[1] and completed in 1897.[2] This unit became the 5th (City of Glasgow) Battalion, The Highland Light Infantry (Territorial Force) in 1908.[3] [4] The battalion was mobilised at the drill hall in August 1914 before being deployed to Gallipoli and then to the Western Front.[5] It became the home of 5th/6th Battalion, the Highland Light Infantry, on amalgamation with the 6th (which had been based in the Yorkhill Street drill hall),[6] 10th and 11th Battalions of the Highland Light Infantry in 1947.[7] Colours flying, the 5/6th Battalion, the Highland Light Infantry marched from the Hill Street drill hall to amalgamate with the Glasgow Highlanders to form a company of the 52nd Lowland Volunteers at the Hotspur Street drill hall in 1967.[7] The drill hall was then decommissioned and converted for academic use: it is now known as the Haldane Building, named after the Glasgow engraver James Haldane, and is part of the Glasgow School of Art.[8]
