Kelvingrove Museum could be remortgaged to help pay Glasgow equal pay settlement

One of Scotland's most iconic museums could be remortgaged to help settle a long-running dispute over equal pay in Glasgow.
Council leader Susan Aitken told the Record she could not rule out Kelvingrove Art Gallery being among the buildings used to "leverage" finance in order to pay a multi-million pound bill faced by the city.
Such a deal would see the museum remain in public ownership but will likely raise questions over the state of the local authority's finances.
Council officials in Glasgow are locked in talks over how to pay the second instalment of an equal pay settlement that has overshadowed the city for years.
The local authority paid out £505 million in 2019 to end a legal challenge over an unfair pay grade system which saw some male workers historically earn more than females.
But that settlement only covered the period up to 2018 and a second deal is required to cover the years after.
Aitken - speaking ahead of Thursday's council elections - said the equal pay settlement was the "biggest challenge" she had faced in her five years as leader.
"We are actively working just now to raise the money for the next phase of payment - we always knew there would be a second phase," she said.
"We will have a new pay grading system in place at some point next year - and we are aiming to start paying out the next phase by this autumn.
"We are still talking through various elements with the claimants' representatives but I think we are largely on the same page.
"We are working towards the same outcome here. We all want the same thing."
Aitken said she was not in a position to say what the final bill facing the city would be - but warned it would be "significant".
