What an incredible couple of weekends we've had at our Port Edgar Former Naval Barracks site! We welcomed almost 300 visitors, many of whom had never been onto this historic site before. Feedback from everyone who attended was very positive, as you can see from a selection of the comments we received below. Our team greatly enjoyed welcoming guests, hearing their stories and history with the site and showcasing our plans to develop a cafe/restaurant while answering questions regarding the development. What a privilege to be able to share the future of the area with some of those people who are also part of it's past. #scottishbuilding #redevelopment #history #retrofit

Thanks for your post, Emily - we're excited to work with G20 at our Ruchill Quadrangle site and to be able to share the facilities we're working on with the local community. We have had so much interest and support locally, our recent opening at the Doors Open Glasgow event allowed us to meet with many more locals who were keen to find out more about the work we're doing.
