Hidden down a lane off of one of Glasgow's busiest shopping streets is an exhibition space for design and architecture with platforms giving fantastic views over central Glasgow.
The Lighthouse in Glasgow, is Scotland's Centre for Architecture, Design and the City. 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 architectural firm Honeyman & Keppie, of which Charles Rennie Mackintosh was an apprentice. 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.
One of the stunning features of The Lighthouse is the uninterrupted view over Glasgow's cityscape from the Mackintosh Tower at the north of the building, which is accessible via a helical staircase from the third floor.
There is also another modern viewing platform at the south of the building, which forms the buildings sixth floor and is only accessible via lift.
There is a charge to enter the Lighthouse, but is free on Saturdays.
