Òran Mór

Òran Mór (Scottish Gaelic: "great melody of life" or "big song") is a theatre, restaurant, entertainment and music venue in Glasgow.

From 1862 until 1978 the building was the Kelvinside Parish Church (Botanic Gardens) before becoming redundant and then converted into an entertainment venue in 2004.

The foundation stone was laid on 4 September 1862, and the church was built in the Neo-Gothic style, on designs by J. J. Stevenson.

[5] The building appeared in The Amazing Race in 2022, and was the venue for the memorial service for Derek Watson (actor and musicologist).
