==Background and world records==
At , the Glasgow Tower is currently the tallest tower in Scotland. It holds a Guinness World Record for being the tallest tower in the world in which the whole structure is capable of rotating 360 degrees. The whole structure rests upon a thrust bearing, and is connected to its foundations by two concentric rings and shock absorbers. The thrust bearing itself rests in a caisson. This is to allow the building to rotate under computer control to face into the wind. The tower has two lifts each with a 12-person capacity, but for reasons of comfort, this is normally limited to 6 guests plus a single member of staff. There is also an emergency staircase, comprising 523 stairs from the Cabin level to the Podium.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url=http://flickr.com/photos/danlewry/1463053758/ )〕
