Got bored, and since no-one has posted what they are, here we go:

1) Former train station. Is now the St Enochs Center

2) 100 Queen Street - Offices

3) 110 Queen Street - Also Offices

4) On the broomielaw, it's a Virgin Hotel

5) 100 Bothwell Street - Also also Offices

6) New City Road, Chinatown Restaurant. The domed building on the left is still there, and the rest of the block was demolished for the M8.

7) Nithsdale Mission Hall on Nithsdale Drive (Destroyed by bombing in 1943). I believe it's the site of the Vauxhall Dealership.

8) Palace Bingo Hall and Citizens Theatre on Gorbals street. It's still the Citizens Theatre. Just a different Building. Also the far-end one is offices.

9) Rutherglen Road/Polmadie Road. Not sure exactly where, but since the M74 is there now, and that whole section of road has changed, it's either the Cash and Carry or residential housing

10) High Street, Glasgow University's old College. This one *might* actually be student flats (or just regular flats with students in them)

10 b) The inset picture the staircase was moved brick-by-brick and now leads into the West wing of the main building. So *that* [still exists](https://www.google.com/maps/@55.8714227,-4.2899959,3a,75y,119.36h,97.04t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sEyzP59VDC5szIiMZboLLGg!2e0!7i13312!8i6656)

11) 53-57 Miller Street. This is... actually yeah, [this is partially student accommodation now](https://www.google.com/maps/@55.859059,-4.2509927,3a,68.3y,239.69h,89.39t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sXnqZR59_3dg6RhluDH2z2A!2e0!7i16384!8i8192)

12) Waterloo Street/West Campbell Street. [Atrium Court.](https://www.google.com/maps/@55.8605196,-4.2618543,3a,90y,67.48h,111.46t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1s8Lt0v8DGV6-xoFv-ZfjBnQ!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3D8Lt0v8DGV6-xoFv-ZfjBnQ%26cb_client%3Dmaps_sv.tactile.gps%26w%3D203%26h%3D100%26yaw%3D221.55972%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i16384!8i8192) Offices. Still a nice building.

13) Renfield Street Church. I believe that was turned into the BHS on the corner of Sauchiehall Street.

14) That's Plantation Street, looking on from Paisley Road West. It's just some random grassy verge in Plantation now I think.

15) Gallowgate/Molendinar Street - It's now the car park for [The Untouchables, Scotlands largest wallpaper stockist](https://www.google.com/maps/@55.856159,-4.2418442,3a,75y,47.69h,86.31t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sWktOgH9i4qBbVo-R1jXnYg!2e0!7i16384!8i8192)

16) This is the same building as 13, just in better condition (it has spires)

17) Phoenix Park, Cowcaddens - Thanks, M8!

18) [Govan Road](https://canmore.org.uk/collection/685852), near Paisley Road Toll. I think this is the building with Epilepsy Scotland now.

19) Anderston Cross Train Station - Oh look, it's our old friend the M8 again.

20) Sauchiehall Street. This is now St Andrews House/Premier Inn just before you get to Buchanan Street

So, Student Flat count is 1, maybe 2.

The M8 scores higher with 3.
