Western Baths

The Western Baths Club is a Victorian era private swimming and leisure club founded in 1876. The club remains at its original site at 12 Cranworth Street, Hillhead, Glasgow.

Along with the Arlington Baths it is the one of two clubs of its kind left in Glasgow.

In recent years the club acquired adjacent ground and erected a new building, sympathetic to the surrounding architecture, to house a modern sports hall & gym thereby further enhancing the Club's facilities.

The Baths are well-known locally, and remain distinctive for their period trapeze and exercise rings over the swimming pool.
