Reviving Glasgow Zoo

[Tartan Tiger]

22. Black Swan

​

To the Right of the Ocelot enclosure and Cat House we have the former Black Swan enclosure and Teahouse (Cafe). Initially this was an information kiosk and throughout the Zoo's life was adapted into an enclosure housing Flamingo's, Swans and Goats (not all together). With the Cafe behind and historical 'big ticket' attractions either side, this area would have been a hive of activity, now a barren ghost town.

This is another area which has been heavily vandalised with lots of fire damage. I don’t know if the teahouse was pulled down when the zoo closed or was victim to fire raising.
