A Glasgow building has been named one of the 30 most beautiful in Britain.
A poll was conducted by hotel group Leonardo Hotels who asked the public what structures they believed to be the most stunning across the country.
The Central Chambers on Hope Street made it to number 30 with 3% of the vote.
A combination of both modern and historic designs, the list features iconic buildings such as the Tower of London, the Shambles in York, Highclere Castle and many more.
Coming in at first place with 24% of the public vote as Britain's most beautiful building was Buckingham Palace in London.
Suzanne Cannon, who is head of marketing at Leonardo Hotels UK & Ireland and who commissioned the study, said: “It’s clear to see that the UK is home to so many stunning buildings, both new and old, and it’s great that so many Brits recognise it as a beautiful staycation spot.
“For those who are planning to enjoy a staycation, then look no further.
"Our 49 hotels across the UK are perfectly situated in city centres, just a stone’s throw away from some of Brits’ favourite buildings and iconic landmarks, making them the perfect place for those who are looking for a truly memorable experience.
"Guests can also save a fantastic 15% off when they extend their break to three days or more until July 2025.”

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
