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 shopping centre's service partner, Andron, was also highly commended in the Scotland External Contractor category.

The Loo of the Year awards are regarded as the gold standard for washroom excellence in the UK, with entries judged on cleanliness, maintenance, accessibility, inclusivity, and overall customer experience.

The Period Dignity award specifically celebrates washrooms that offer a safe, hygienic, and inclusive environment.

Silverburn was recognised for its commitment to stocking free period products in all its washrooms and ensuring they are regularly replenished.

Each cubicle is equipped with touch-free sanitary bins and menstrual waste disposal bags, which are routinely emptied and sanitised.

These measures help to combat period poverty, reduce stigma, and support the wider community by promoting accessibility and inclusivity for all.
