One of Glasgow’s most iconic buildings is in the running to win top place for having the UK’s best window with a view.
The Lighthouse in Mitchell Lane, just off Buchanan Street, already won Scotland’s best window with a view earlier this year before gaining attention on a wider scale.
Scotland’s national centre for design and architecture will now go up against finalists from ten other areas across the country in a public vote.
The winner will take the crown from the current top venue, Liverpool Museum, which took the title in 2016.
James Lee, director of marketing at MyGlazing.com - which is running the competition - congratulated the city centre arts space, and said: “It truly is a great feat given the standard of entries we received this year.
“It’s going to be an exciting couple of months, seeing which regional winner secures the title of the UK’s Best Window with a View.
“We wish The Lighthouse the best of luck in the national vote and urge people in Scotland to support them.”
The national winner will be decided via an online vote at MyGlazing.com/WWAV.
Voting closes on September 30, and every person who votes will be entered into a prize draw to win a Fuji Instax camera.
The national winner will be announced in October.
The ten other regional winners competing in the national heat against The Lighthouse are:
- Midlands: Shugborough Hall
- East of England: Holkham Hall
- London: Tower Bridge
- North East: Crook Hall
- North West: Cloud 23
- South East: Emirates Spinnaker
- South West: Shipwrights Arms
- Wales: Dolbadarn Castle
- Yorkshire & Humber: Easby Hall
- Northern Ireland: Downhill House
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
