A number of landmarks across Glasgow and beyond are lighting up blue on Monday to mark World Parkinson's Day.

Over 40 buildings will illuminate, including the OVO Hydro, to show support and awareness of the condition, which displays over 40 recognised symptoms. 

Volunteer Karen McConnell, who has been leading the project, said: “It’s absolutely fantastic to have the support of so many buildings lighting up blue for World Parkinson’s Day.

"To see over 40 landmarks light up demonstrates a strong visual symbol of support for the Parkinson’s community and unites us all to mark the day. 

“I hope lighting up Scotland for World Parkinson’s Day will help raise awareness of Parkinson’s and show the Parkinson’s community that we stand shoulder to shoulder with them and will continue to work to raise awareness until a cure is found."

Buildings lighting up in and near Glasgow include Bearsden Community Hub, Milngavie Town Hall, Princes Square, Kirkintilloch Community Hub, Lennoxtown Community Hub, Maryhill Burgh Hall, Clincarthill Church in Mount Florida, Bascule Bridge and Renfrew Town Hall. 

Nicola Moore, Acting Scotland Director, said: “The Parkinson’s community is filled with bold and bright individuals, and it’s incredible to see so many national landmarks across Scotland turning an equally bright blue for World Parkinson’s Day.

"The idea to light up buildings came from the community and it’s been brought to life by their passion and determination. 

“With two more people receiving a Parkinson’s diagnosis every hour - the equivalent of 18,000 a year - it’s vitally important that people with the condition feel seen and supported by their local communities, which is why we’re so grateful to everyone who lit up blue.”
