The square was home to some of Glasgow's richest residents.
Glasgow city centre's most prestigious square has been home to the city's wealthiest residents, a scandalous murder trial, and celebrity guests staying in the only five-star hotel.
But over the years the townhouses have become famous – and infamous – for the people and events associated with them.In 1895 the townhouse at number five Blythswood Square became the home of the first Lady Artists' Club - and the first female residential club - in Britain until it was sold in 1971. When L’Angelier was killed by arsenic poisoning, Madeleine was charged with his murder due to her obvious motive and the fact that she made regular purchases of arsenic in the lead-up to his death.While a jury found the case to be Not Proven, Madeleine was so distraught and humiliated by the scandal that she left Glasgow forever.
