HistoryThe building was designed by John Bennie Wilson as the headquarters of the 3rd Lanarkshire (1st Glasgow Southern) Rifle Volunteer Corps and completed in 1884.[1] It was extended along Coplaw Street in 1903.[1] The 3rd Lanarkshire (1st Glasgow Southern) Rifle Volunteer Corps became the 7th Battalion, The Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) in 1908.[2] The battalion was mobilised at the drill hall in August 1914 before being deployed to Gallipoli and then to the Western Front.[3] The battalion amalgamated with the 6th Battalion, The Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) to form the 6th/7th Battalion, The Cameronians (Scottish Rifles) at the Muir Street drill hall in Hamilton in 1950 although a company remained at the Victoria Road drill hall until the 6th/7th Battalion was disbanded in 1967.[4] The drill hall was also used for parades by the Boys' Brigade in the 1960s.[5] The original drill hall was subsequently demolished leaving only the Coplaw Street extension standing:[1] the extension was converted for leisure centre use in 1984 and then converted to apartments in 2001.[1] See also
