Artist's Comments

The Moat House Hotel, Armadillo and the Finneston Crane. All located next to the River Clyde. The sixteen-storey high Moat House Hotel is a pretty impressive four star hotel, with it's reflective windows mirroring the beauty of the surrounding area.

Right next door is the "Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre" (more commonly known as the SECC), which host a number of conferences, exhibitions, live performances, concerts and corporate functions all year round. It's impressive structure - the Armadillo proudly on display by the water's edge, which uses a flat sheet material to cover entire building in an arrangement similar to that of the Sydney Opera House in Australia, making it highly visible from the air due to reflected light.

The last structure to dominate the skyline is the Finneston Crane; marking Glasgow's proud past as one of the largest port cities in the world. Many ships and goods were made and traded on the docks of the Clyde. The Finneston Crane is the largest dockside crane in Glasgow. The crane was built in 1932 ad was capable of lifting 175 tonnes.
