Glasgow is set to celebrate Earth Hour this weekend by switching off the lights of iconic landmarks across the city.

The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) global initiative encourages people to turn off their lights for one hour to save carbon emissions and show a stand for action against climate change.

The City Chambers, the Clyde Arc Bridge, the Riverside Museum, the Mitchell Library and Winter Gardens on Glasgow Green will be taking part in the event from 8.30pm on Saturday.

People will also be able to take selfies with the WWF mini panda in various entertainment venues around the square.

The council has organised free indoor and outdoor events for the public to enjoy at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum from 6pm.

Visitors can take part in nature walks, food waste and energy saving advice, upcycling workshops and a an illuminated led cycle ride around Kelvingrove Park.

Glasgow council won Local Authority of the Year for the work carried out to promote and support the event in 2017.

Last year, nine million people took part in the Earth Hour campaign in the UK alone.
