Abstract
There’s an interesting link between Glasgow’s first ice-skating venue and the first public exhibition of film. Glasgow’s Diorama in Sauchiehall Street was a circular and domed building displaying large panoramic pictures of historical events such as the Battle of Bannockburn. Diorama – a mobile theatre device, which displayed images on a moving canvas (The word literally means “through that which is seen”), was renamed the Panorama, later the Hippodrome and eventually the Regal cinema.
