The new ‘outdoor museum’ in Helensburgh’s town centre, has been shortlisted for an Arts and Business Scotland Award.
The Colquhoun Square display will be judged in the Enterprising Museum category – which recognises an innovative or entrepreneurial project that has delivered an ambitious high-impact museum experience in 2015-16.
Argyll and Bute Council’s £7m regeneration of Helensburgh’s Town Centre has already won three other awards – including a Scottish Design Award.
The Arts and Business Scotland awards will be held in the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall in March.
Two men were arrested for disorderly conduct at Luss Pier on Saturday (December 10) – Police Scotland in Helensburgh are reminding the public to call 101 if they see anti-social behaviour.
Kind-hearted staff at Faslane raised £1,500 for charity Cash for Kids after holding a Wear Your Christmas Jumper to Work Day event.
Last week Clyde One DJs George Bowie and Cassi Gillespie visited the base to pick up the cheque and meet some of the sailors, marines and civilian workers who took part.
“Cash for Kids is a fantastic cause and everyone really got behind the efforts to raise money,” said organiser Lieutenant McInnes from Faslane-based submarine HMS Victorious.
“The total so far is brilliant, but money is still coming in so we’re hopeful of reaching the £2,000 mark.”
Workers were asked to donate a minimum of £1 to be able to wear their Christmas jumpers.
