More than 6000 people from all over the world have experienced the Titan crane in Clydebank since the facility first opened in August.

Operators Clydebank Rebuilt are amazed at how many have made the journey to the top of the massive structure.

The majority of visitors are from the West of Scotland, many of them former workers at the famous John Brown shipyards.
 
A spokesman for Clydebank Rebuilt, which refurbished the A-listed crane at a cost of £3million, said: "Since it first opened to the public on August 3, it has proved a hugely successful visitor attraction.

"A lot of the visitors have come from the Clydebank and Glasgow area, but others have come from all over the UK, the US and Europe."

Figures out last week show 6120 people have visited the 100-year-old Titan crane in the 11 weeks since its launch.

One of only five Titan cantilever cranes still on the Clyde, the Titan is the oldest of its kind in the world.

Now closed to individual visitors for the winter season, the crane will reopen to the public in May.
