Cowcaddens subway station is a station on the Glasgow Subway and serves the Cowcaddens, Garnethill and Dundasvale areas of Glasgow, Scotland. It is located on the north side of the city centre. Glasgow School of Art, Tenement House, the National Piping Centre, and to some extent Glasgow Caledonian University are local institutions and attractions served by the station.
It was opened in 1896 and was also marginally the closest Subway stop to the main line railway at Buchanan Street railway station which was closed in 1967. It was comprehensively modernised between 1977 and 1980, including the construction of a new surface-level ticket hall and the addition of escalators. Nevertheless, the station retained its original island platform configuration.
