A series of images of the demolition of the high rise flats at 3 Pinkston Drive in Sighthill in Glasgow, Scotland.

 

While other tower blocks in Glasgow have been demolished in blow-downs using explosives, the 20 storey residential tower block here is being pulled down gradually over a period of weeks using a claw crane.

 

The windows had been removed prior to the demolition and while most of the internal fixtures and fittings will have been stripped out, some of the interior decor of the building can still be seen in some of the apartments.

 

Several similar tower blocks have already been demolished and the area is due to undergo extensive redevelopment in the coming years.
