Yorkhill Street drill hall

The Yorkhill Street drill hall is a former military installation in Glasgow.

[3] The battalion was mobilised at the drill hall in August 1914 before being deployed to Gallipoli and then to the Western Front.

[5] The Yorkhill Street drill hall was instead occupied by the new 15th (Scottish Volunteer) Battalion, The Parachute Regiment, under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Alastair Pearson, in 1947[2] and was subsequently renamed "Pearson Hall" after its former commanding officer.
