Glenlee Shortlisted for Prestigious Scottish Thistle Award!
We’re absolutely thrilled to share some exciting news from everyone here at the Tall Ship Glenlee — we’ve been named a regional finalist in the 2025 Scottish Thistle Awards!
We’re nominated in the Best Visitor Attraction – West of Scotland category, and this recognition means the world to us.
This nomination comes at a truly special moment in Glenlee’s journey. Over the past year, we’ve seen incredible growth and transformation, continuing to evolve as a place for learning, connection, and discovery. While Glenlee remains a proud Clydebuilt ship with over a century of history on her decks, she’s also a thriving, family-friendly attraction and events space that welcomes visitors from all over the world.
Being shortlisted for this prestigious award is a testament to the dedication and passion of our entire team — from our committed staff and volunteers to the supporters and visitors who bring the ship to life each day. Whether you're exploring our historic decks, joining a school workshop, attending a wedding or event, or simply enjoying a refreshment in our onboard café, you are part of Glenlee’s story.
We’re honoured to be recognised in this way and grateful to all who have supported us on this journey. No matter what happens next, we’ll continue doing what we love: preserving Glenlee’s legacy, welcoming new visitors aboard, and creating unforgettable experiences for everyone who steps on deck.
Thank you — and here’s to the next exciting chapter!
