Barony Hall, also known as Barony Church, is a red sandstone Victorian Gothic church located on Castle Street. The Barony Church has existed for approximately 400 years, dating from before 1595 until 1985. Over that time it became one of the top parishes of the Church of Scotland. Among the notable ministers who have resided in the Barony Parish are Zachary Boyd, born 1625, died 1653, Norman McLeod, born 1851, died 1872, and John White, born 1911, died 1934. Barony Parish received its name from the Barony of Glasgow. The Old Barony Church was built as a part of the Barony Parish in Glasgow by architect, James Adams. It opened in 1799 and served ceremonial and other congregational purposes. The replacement for the old building was designed by J.J. Burnet and J.A. Campbell and raised in 1889, and incorporated architectural artifacts from the old church and a number of other relics. The New Barony Church was acquired by the University of Strathclyde in 1986.
