We are delighted that Glasgow Claypits collected two Landscape Institute (LI) Awards at the competition’s annual ceremony in London yesterday.

The Claypits won prizes for Excellence in Place Regeneration and Public Health & Wellbeing.

The LI Awards recognise the UK’s leading projects in landscape design, planning and management.

LUC has had extensive involvement with The Claypits, working closely with Scottish Canals and partners for many years.

Following its completion in summer 2021, The Claypits has served as Glasgow’s only inner-city Nature Reserve.

The former ‘Vacant and Derelict’ site is now valuable ‘wild’ greenspace, which offers significant benefits to health and wellbeing for local communities.

This win follows continued success for the project, after recently collecting two awards for contributions to public health and wellbeing.

The Scottish Civil Engineering Awards and Nature of Scotland Awards honoured the project at their respective ceremonies last week.

The Claypits has now won eight major awards, adding to a Pineapple Award earlier this year, Living Waterways and Scottish Design Awards in 2018, and a Landscape Institute Award in 2016.
