I was able to visit the Lighthouse for a user group meeting - the user group had booked the top floor and another room From an event point of view - the group had a great main room spacious, well powered, good screen. Didn't seem to be any major problems: although I had a problem with the wifi dropping out-... More

I love this place. A former newspaper print works, the tower held the water tank for the steam presses, has been transformed into a cultural destination. The front has been extended in glass to form an entrance and eclectic gift shop. Up the escalators and lifts, so it is fully wheelchair friendly, you can access five or so floors each... More

The lighthouse is right in the centre, a modern gallery space housed in an old newspaper building. There is a spiral staircase which takes you to the top of "the lighthouse", and an amazing panoramic view of the whole of Glasgow. via an outside balcony, well worth the climb!.

All the stairs are well worth the trip, there is also a lift to a smaller viewing area. For a free attraction it is brilliant!

Really I'm surprised this is not rated higher in the best places to visit in Glasgow. The venue is mostly free (some exhibitions you have to pay for, and donations are requested everywhere else.) The long trek up to the top is worth the calf pain! Very interesting exhibitions in a stylish setting.

Nestling between two busy streets which includes the famous Style Mile in Buchanan Street is the former headquarters of the Glasgow Herald. This Charles Rennie Mackintosh designed building has a wonderful layout and tribute to the architect's creative use of light and space. There are interesting exhibitions, the occasional charity sale and a delightful well stocked tearoom to recharge the... More

Highly recommended not only due to its really inventive, creative and interesting gift shop- there is also a great viewing gallery at the top that gives you a fantastic view over Glasgow.

I'm afraid that I have only just got round to visiting this little gem. What a lovely building that looks like no more than a shop front from the outside! I really liked the Charles Rennie Mackintosh exhibition and the viewing platform looking out over the Glasgow skyline.
