Silverburn staff with the 'Loo of the Year' award
Written by Glasgow View Reporter, Liam Eunson
Silverburn has been recognised for excellence in washroom facilities, scooping multiple accolades at the national ‘Loo of the Year’ awards.
The award-winning destination’s exceptional standards extend beyond its retail and leisure offering, as it has now won the national award for ‘Period Dignity’ at the ‘Loo of the Year’ awards.
Silverburn’s toilets were also highly commended for its Baby Changing and Changing Places facilities, while service partner Andron was highly commended in the ‘Scotland External Contractor’ category.
The ‘Loo of the Year’ awards are nationally regarded as the gold standard for washroom excellence in the UK, with entries assessed against stringent criteria including cleanliness, maintenance, accessibility, inclusivity and overall customer experience.
The ‘Period Dignity’ award celebrates washrooms that provide a safe, hygienic, and inclusive environment. Silverburn has been recognised for ensuring that all its washrooms offer free period products and are regularly restocked to always ensure availability.
Every cubicle is equipped with touch-free sanitary bins and menstrual waste disposal bags, which are emptied and sanitised regularly. By providing these essential facilities, Silverburn actively helps to combat period poverty, reduce stigma, and support the wider community, while promoting accessibility and inclusivity for all.
Clare Livingston, Marketing and Placemaking Manager of Silverburn, said:
“It’s important to us that when guests spend time at Silverburn they feel welcome and comfortable every step of the way. The ‘Loo of the Year’ awards recognise destinations that go the extra mile to ensure their facilities exceed expectations, and we’re really proud to be acknowledged in this way.
“These facilities are vital for comfort and confidence, allowing our guests to feel safe and supported when visiting bathrooms outside of their own homes. We’re truly honoured to receive such recognition.”
The award follows an exceptional year for Silverburn which triumphed at the 2025 SCEPTRE Awards, the ‘Oscars of Retail’, winning ‘Retail Destination of the Year in the UK’. Silverburn recently celebrated a major milestone, welcoming 16.5 million visitors in 2025.
