Maryhill Public Library in Glasgow. Built in 1903, it was one of the first wave of libraries built in the city using funds provided by Andrew Carnegie, and is one of seven designed by James R. Rhind. While Carnegie libraries elsewhere in the UK were primarily brick-built, those in Scotland, like this one in Maryhill, were mostly built from stone.

In 1901, the Scots-born Andrew Carnegie was the richest man in the world. However, it's estimated he gave away 90% of his wealth, including providing funding for the construction of 2,059 libraries around the world between 1883 and 1929.
