Scottish Architecture Awards Celebrated

The crème de la crème of contemporary Scottish architecture has been celebrated, from bird hides to national galleries.

The 18 prize-winning buildings were selected by the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS) out of 71 applicants.

The £47.5m revamp of the National Museum of Scotland was the most expensive project honoured at Glasgow's Hilton Hotel.

It won the RIA Andrew Doolan Award last year.

Award bodies RIAS and the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) have merged their Stirling Prize and Doolan Prize and this was the first awards dinner run by the newly-formed RIAS Awards.
