One of only 11 Cantilever Cranes left in the world, this was used to load steam locomotives to ship throughout the world. Nearby is also the entertainment hub with some of the best concerts in the world hosted here within The Hydro Arena, SECC, and The Armadillo. Before heading to your concert, or after your conference, you can sample the delights of the Cranston Kitchen or enjoy a cocktail in the rooftop Skybar in the Radisson Red Hotel with great views over Glasgow and down the River Clyde. If your in the mood for a good olè belly laugh, the Rotunda Comedy club is also located here.

Has any single structure come to represent Glasgow more than the Finnieston Crane? Probably not. The giant grey cantilever crane is no longer in working order today but it has been wisely retained and recontextualised in new proximity to such shiny modern buildings as the Armadillo, The Hydro, the Glasgow Science Centre and the BBC Scotland headquarters, as a potent and emotive 53-metre-high symbol of proud engineering heritage. It’s just one among several landmarks on the Clyde – the famous river around which Glasgow is built – which can be experienced along a relatively short walk from Glasgow Green, east of the city centre, upriver to Govan.
