The Tall Ship Glenlee is thrilled to announce that it has been recognised as the winner of a prestigious tourism award.
The Scottish Thistle Awards, with headline sponsors Abbey: The Destination Experts, celebrate the very best of the tourism and events industry in Scotland. They have become an annual celebration of excellence, collaboration and innovation within one of the country’s most important sectors. The Tall Ship Glenlee was named as Best Visitor Attraction at the West of Scotland Thistle Awards on Thursday 25 September at a ceremony at the Radisson Blu in Glasgow.
This category recognises the variety of opportunities provided to Scotland’s visitors, and the attractions which provide world-class service with authentic, memorable experiences.
The Tall Ship Glenlee is one of Glasgow’s most treasured heritage icons. Built in 1896, Glenlee is now a rare example of a Clyde-built sailing ship and one of only five of its kind still afloat in the world. Now preserved as a visitor attraction, museum, learning centre, and community hub, the ship welcomes over 100,000 visitors each year.
