Kibble Palace Description
Kibble Palace in the Botanic Gardens on Great Western Road is one of the finest glass houses in the country and its collection of orchids almost certainly the highlight. Afterwards it is relaxing to take a walk through the extensive parkland. The eccentric engineer John Kibble built his steel construction by Loch Long in 1863. Ten years later he decided to take it with him to Glasgow and he had a special raft made so that it could be shipped safely up the Clyde.
