The Royal Faculty Of Procurators' Hall was designed by Charles Wilson and finished in 1856. It is a place for Glasgow's legal fraternity to meet, study and work. Over the windows of this fine building, there are many portrait sculptures of lawyers and judges. They form the wedge-shaped stones which hold together the arched windows, called keystones. The sandstone sculptures were all made by Alexander Handyside Ritchie (1804-1870).
