EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a royal party making their way into the Post Office building at the Empire Exhibition in Glasgow, Scotland, in May 1938. The exhibition, held in Bellahouston Park, was a celebration of the arts, science, and commerce of the British Empire, attracting visitors from all corners of the world. The Post Office building, known as The Clachan, was a popular attraction due to its unique design. The thatched-roof, stone building was intended to evoke a rural, Scottish feel, in stark contrast to the modern, futuristic structures that dominated the exhibition. The name The Clachan refers to a small, traditional Scottish inn or tavern. King George VI and Queen Elizabeth opened the exhibition on May 3, 1938, and the Post Office building was one of the first to be officially unveiled. The royal party can be seen here making their way through the entrance, surrounded by a crowd of excited onlookers. The image offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, providing a window into the sights, sounds, and atmosphere of this historic event. The Post Office building at the Empire Exhibition in Glasgow is an important part of Scotland's heritage, and this photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of this iconic structure. The image captures the excitement and wonder of a bygone era, transporting us back in time to the 1930s and the magic of the Empire Exhibition.
