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 ¨C 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.
