Early sketches have been revealed that show how a revitalised Hielanman's Umbrella could look.
A new proposal to update and enhance the historic landmark has been given the green light by Glasgow City Council. Led by Glasgow-based architecture practice Dress for the Weather, the winning proposal, named 'adhair eadar' (air between), was inspired by 'the meteorological intensities' of the glass-sided bridge.
