The landmark Glasgow Tower reopens for the summer season on Monday.
For those lucky enough to get to the top on a clear day the panoramic views on offer reach for up to 20 miles.
Sited at Glasgow Science Centre, the 417ft tower reopened last year after a £1.8 million refurbishment, including new lifts and a revamped visitor experience, and on a clear day offers panoramic views of up to 20 miles.
The revolutionary holds the Guinness world record for the tallest rotating freestanding structure in the world.
It hasn't been without its dramas, and has been plagued with problems since it opened in 2001 and then shut down in 2010.
It had only been open a number of months when it emerged in February 2002 that a base bearing had failed and it was sinking into the ground.
Three years later, 10 people became trapped in the lift halfway up the tower when a cable snapped.
