A major Lego exhibition depicting the wonders of the world has gone on display in Glasgow.

Visitors to Glasgow Cathedral will be able to explore the famous sites in miniature form.

The Brick Wonders exhibition was created by artist Warren Elsmore and a team of designers.

As well as the seven wonders of the ancient world, the exhibition features scientific discoveries from the Big Bang Theory to DNA.

The Great Wall of China, the Hanging Gardens of Babylon and the Hoover Dam are among the famous sites recreated by the artist.

The exhibition opened on Saturday and will run until September 23. It will then be moved to Stirling Castle.

Mr Elsmore said: "We love transforming the world around us into Lego scenes.

"It's a fun way to translate history into a medium that everyone can understand and relate to, especially young people.

"Forget dry lists of kings or endless battle dates - this is history brought to life.

"It's great when we see visitors making that instant connection with our projects and hope it will inspire them to learn even more about our history."

Rebecca Bailey, of Historic Environment Scotland, said: "We're delighted to bring this popular touring exhibition to Glasgow Cathedral.

"Lego bricks are unique in their appeal, having been a top-selling toy for over fifty years so it's great for us to be able to showcase history in such an engaging way.

"The artistic Brick Wonders display instantly piqued the interest of our visitors at Aberdour Castle and Abroath Abbey, and we're sure it will also be a big attraction at Glasgow Cathedral for young people - and big kids too."
