Tallest fully rotating tower

The Glasgow Tower at the Glasgow Science Centre is 127 m (416 ft) tall. It is the tallest tower in the world that can rotate fully through 360 degrees from its base to the top. It was opened to the public in the spring of 2001.

The Glasgow Tower was designed to be aerodynamic. Sensors on the tower detect wind direction and four motors at the base rotate the tower into the wind. Aerofoil-shaped outriggers on the tower carry wind turbulence past the tower which prevents strong movements at the top, allowing visitors to the observation platform a steady view of the City of Glasgow and the surrounding Scottish countryside. It is the highest free-standing stucture in Scotland and the only tower in the world of this height that can rotate 360 degrees from its base to its top.
