The Tait Tower Glasgow. Scotland. The fabulous Art Deco style "Tait Tower" was constructed at the summit of Ibrox Hill in Bellahouston Park in Glasgow in Scotland as part of the Empire Exhibition, Scotland 1938. It was designed by Thomas S. Tait, stood 300 feet high (91.44 metres) and had three separate observation decks which provided a view of the surrounding gardens and city. Due to both the height of the tower and the hill it was built on, it could be seen 100 miles (160 km) away. The tower was the centrepiece of the Empire Exhibition. The Tower was taken down because it was thought (after the outbreak of WWII) that enemy bombers would be able to use it as a sighting beacon for raids on Glasgow.
