“This will be a welcome addition to the wealth of attractions and experiences available in Glasgow, and another reason to spend more time in the city this summer.”
Heralded as Glasgow’s answer to the Eiffel Tower, the 127m-tall Glasgow Tower has dominated the city skyline for over two decades from the banks of the River Clyde.
Plagued by safety and engineering problems since Glasgow Science Centre opened in 2001, the tower has earned itself the title of the city’s 'most expensive white elephant', spending more than 80 per cent of its existence closed to the public. In July last year, it was revealed that less than 170,000 people had taken the 2.5 minute journey to the Tower observation cabin 105 metres up since it opened.
Commenting, VisitScotland Destination Development Director Caroline Warburton said the reopening of the tower is good news for visitors to Scotland’s biggest city.
