The National Trust for Scotland’s hugely-successful Culloden Centre is in the running for a prestigious architecture award.

It is one of four buildings in Scotland that have been shortlisted for the inaugural World Architecture Festival Awards (2008).

Culloden General Manager, Deirdre Smyth said:

“We are so pleased to be recognised with another award nomination. Culloden is really a must-see destination and is proving very popular with visitors from near and far.”

Gareth Hoskins from Gareth Hoskins Architects, who designed the £9.5 million visitor centre, said:

“It is wonderful to see the ambition to create a ‘world class’ visitor centre on the site now also being recognised at an international level through the World Architecture Awards.”
