The Lighthouse (Glasgow)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Lighthouse in Glasgow, is Scotland's Centre for Architecture, Design and the City.
The Lighthouse is the renamed, conversion of Charles Rennie Mackintosh's 1895 Glasgow Herald newspaper office. 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.
