I don’t think so, Wayne.  It’s a large building:

The organ was apparently commissioned for an exhibition in 1901, according to 
Wikipedia:

Glasgow has been something of a revelation for us, considering the stories that 
I read about it 45 years ago (gang warfare etc . . .).  It’s rather picturesque 
in many places and the people are very helpful and friendly.
