Cottiers is a theatre located in Glasgow, Scotland. It also operates as a bar and restaurant. Cottiers occupies the building of the 19th-century former Dowanhill Parish Church.
The church building was built to serve as the parish church of the Dowanhill United Presbyterian Church. It was designed in the Neo-Gothic style by William Leiper, and was built between 1865 and 1866. The foundation stone was laid on 4 August 1865 and the building was opened on 11 November 1866.[1] The congregation became part of the Church of Scotland in 1929, and the church was renamed Dowanhill Parish Church.[2]
Works of art
The building includes a collection of notable frescoes and stained glass windows by Daniel Cottier. The building was renamed in honour of Cottier after the church was converted into a theatre.[3]
