A historic Glasgow school building could be turned into flats.
A planning application has been lodged to convert the former home of St Aloysius College on Scott Street in Garnethill.
The B-listed building was built as a grand mansion in 1882 and was later converted into a hospital for sick children, then housed the art and drama department of the private school.
Now, Nevis Properties Ltd is bidding to transform it into managed apartments after acquiring it.
The plan includes 18 flats, made up of one and two-bedroom homes and the erection of three new-build townhouses.

According to documents, the plan is to carry out a "sympathetic conversion", which conserves the building's fabric and character on the outside.
Inside, the demolition of an existing fire escape staircase is proposed, as well as the reinstation of a disused access stair.
If successful, the development will also include communal gardens with trees and timber benches.
The papers are being considered by Glasgow City Council planning officials and a decision is expected by Wednesday, February 21.
The last day for comments is Wednesday, January 24.
