When the stars came to Glasgow there was one hotel they all stayed at - the Central Hotel.

Nowdays known as the Grand Central, the hotel was the only place in town for celebrities who visited Scotland's largest city to play in one of its prestigious entertainment venues, such as the Alhambra Theatre, the King's Theatre, the St Andrew's Halls, and the Odeon in Renfield Street - the latter a leading cinema that doubled as a music venue.
