Yom Kippur services will be the swansong for Glasgow's Netherlee, Clarkston and Queens Park Congregation, which is closing after 70 years.

Around 150 members at an EGM also discussed plans to sell the building, but this will not be formally approved until more details are known.

Assets such as stained glass windows and scrolls will be found new homes.

Shul chair and trustee Michael Clerck said: "It's been a difficult time for all of us. The congregation wants to close with dignity. We worked very hard to keep the shul going as long as possible but with dwindling numbers and financial difficulties we were struggling to maintain services."
