43. Edinburgh Greenhouse, RBGE, Edinburgh
The gardens' 1967 glasshouses. Their design was hailed as the most innovative since Paxton's Great Conservatory at Chatsworth, built in the 1830s. The main house is 128 m long with the supporting structure on the outside, so the internal area can be used to full effect. It covers two levels, with five climatic zones. Along with the other glasshouses, 10 glasshouses are open to the public.

44. The Burrell Collection, Glasgow
Sir William Burrell (former ship-owner) set stringent conditions in his will on the siting and display of his magnificent collection of art works - the fruits of a lifetime of assiduous collecting. Only after many years in mothballs did they finally see the light of day in this purpose-built gallery. The priceless medieval tapestries used to lie piled on the floor in Sir William's home where he would show them to privileged guests like a carpet salesman demonstrating his wares.
