One of Glasgow's most popular visitor attractions has scooped two top awards.

The Glasgow Science Centre was named Best Visitor Attraction and winner of the Climate Action Award at the West of Scotland Thistle Awards, which took place on Thursday, September 19, at the Radisson Blu in Glasgow.

Dr Gillian Lang, director of experience development at Glasgow Science Centre, said: "We are over the moon to receive this amazing accolade.

"This is a hugely valued industry endorsement which will be appreciated by every member of our staff whose commitment and passion to delivering memorable experiences for all our visitors, whether families, school pupils, clients, or community members, is at the heart of this achievement.

"The Science Centre building itself has been a recognisable feature of the city's skyline for over 20 years, but it's fantastic to have been acknowledged for the amazing experiences, exhibitions, and events that can be enjoyed, and the warm welcome everyone receives when they step through our doors."

The attraction was praised for its excellent application and natural strengths in science communications to different audiences, as well as the investments that had been made in the building and commitment to nature-based solutions in the wetlands nearby.

It was among six businesses and individuals to be recognised.

VisitScotland regional director Lynne Cooper said: "Congratulations to all of the winners from Glasgow at the West of Scotland Thistle Awards.

"It is fantastic to see such recognition for the city’s diverse and vibrant tourism offering, as well as the passionate and dedicated individuals who work within it.

"These awards demonstrate the variety and quality of the tourism and events offered in the city and I would like to extend my best wishes to the regional finalists, in particular the regional winners, as they now go forward to the National Final in November."
