The award plaque in the Halls - we'll find somewhere nice to display it permanently!

We were delighted and honoured to receive two awards in this morning's Scottish Civic Trust MyPlace Awards. The My Place Awards scheme is a national celebration of good local design and conservation as nominated and evaluated by local people, and is not an industry award.

The Burgh Halls project won the overall MyPlace award, and our Project Co-ordinator Hunter Reid was awarded the Civic Champion award.

The judges said: "Maryhill Burgh Halls is a fantastic civic building which has involved the community at every stage." and that "Hunter has demonstrated exceptional perserverence and commitment over many years. His achievements have had an impact on a national level."
