The History of Our Home
Headquartered in Glasgow’s historic South Rotunda, Malin Group operates from one of the city’s most distinctive landmarks on the banks of the River Clyde.
Over the decades, this iconic circular building has played many roles in Glasgow’s cultural and scientific story.
Designed by Simpson and Wilson, and Alex Findlay and Co, the North and South Rotundas were first built in 1895, after receiving Royal Assent in 1889. Now B-listed buildings, the two Rotundas were connected under the River Clyde by three tunnels, which were opened in 1895. The buildings acted as entrances to three tunnels on either side of the river, and when opened were mainly used for transporting goods via horse and cart.
Unfortunately they were not popular with the residents of Glasgow and the company went bankrupt in 1900, with the tunnels closed until 1913 when the City Council bought them for £100,000. They provided a safe means of travel during both world wars but outwith this were little used and in 1987 the two main tunnels were filled in, leaving the Rotundas without purpose. During the celebrated Glasgow Garden Festival, the South Rotunda served as a popular ice-cream parlour, and it later became home to the “Dome of Discovery,” an exhibition funded by Glasgow City Council and BP Exploration that celebrated the city’s rich industrial and scientific heritage. The building continued its creative journey when National Theatre of Scotland transformed the space into a vibrant pop-up arts venue as part of Glasgow 2014 Cultural Programme surrounding the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
In 2015, Malin Group acquired the South Rotunda and embarked on a meticulous three-year restoration, returning the landmark to its former glory while reimagining it for the future. Today, the Rotunda stands as a building steeped in history yet re-designed for modern innovation, a living example of engineering innovation… a perfect home for Malin Group.
