Glasgow Community Sauna
A not-for-profit community sauna in Pollokshields, on Glasgow's Southside, set up in 2025 behind a community-run former bowling green. It has a wood-fired seven-seat horsebox sauna and a 13-seat sauna that the operator calls Scotland's first wheelchair-accessible one, with three cold plunges and outdoor showers.
