The Clydebank Titan, the world's first giant cantilever crane, has won an architecture award.

The century-old A-listed crane was honoured by the Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design.

Titan, which was restored last year as a heritage visitor attraction, was one of 114 projects across the world to win awards at the "highest and most prestigious" international programme promoting architecture and design.

Maggie's Centre in Kirkcaldy, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, and Hazelwood School, Dumbreck, Glasgow, designed by Murray Dunlop Architects, were also recognised.

The man responsible for the Titan project, Ewan Imrie, of Collective Architecture, said: "It's particularly important as it is an award for architecture rather than the re-use of an existing building."

Built in 1907 at a cost of £24,600, the crane was used in the fitting out of ships such as the QE2 at the John Brown yard.
