With its geometric golden dome, which hums with a low light in the evenings, this must have been a bit of an oddity to the residents of the Gorbals when it first appeared in 1984. Its tall and graceful concrete minaret stands above a low arcade that joins two buildings together and can be seen for miles. One of these buildings is a place of worship and the other is the Islamic Centre, which operates as a sociocultural centre as well as providing religious education, support and advice.There ares several mosques dotted around the city but none as splendid as this which is perhaps why the boxer Mike Tyson came to worship here when he last visited Scotland.
