The Saltire Society last night (November 10) announced the results of its annual Housing Design Awards.
Hosted by its President, Lord Cullen of Whitekirk, the event took place at The Lighthouse.
The event was also attended by Stewart Maxell MSP, Minister for Communities and Sport, who indicated his Government’s strong commitment to raising the standards of housing design.
