Scotland - Glasgow - The Lighthouse - Tower 01

The lighthouse has two towers from which you can see out across the Glasgow rooftops. Along with an exhibition on it's famous designer Charles Rennie Mackintosh it makes a visit well worth it (particularly as it's free......).

From Wikipedia : "The Lighthouse in Glasgow, is Scotland's Centre for Design and Architecture. It was opened as part of Glasgow's status as UK City of Architecture and Design in 1999.

 

The Lighthouse is the renamed conversion of the former offices of the Glasgow Herald newspaper. Completed in 1895, it was designed by the architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh. The centre's vision is to develop the links between design, architecture, and the creative industries, seeing these as interconnected social, educational, economic and cultural issues of concern to everyone."
