Fabulous prizes announced for Maggie's Glasgow Night Hikers

Two fantastic prizes are up for grabs for participants of the first ever Glasgow Night Hike.

Ortak jewellery

For the person who writes the best one sentence review of the night – 140 characters so Maggie’s can tweet your review:

A stunning two-piece jewellery set, designed by Scotland’s leading designer and manufacturer of gold and silver jewellery, Ortak.  The Ortak Maggie’s Collection, which is polished silver and incorporating lime green hot enamel, was inspired by some of the original architectural plans for Maggie’s.   The winner will take home a necklace and earrings from the collection.  The prize is valued at £80.

For the top individual fundraiser on the night:

A three-night weekend stay in the Mackintosh Building, located in Comrie, Perthshire.  This prize is provided by the Landmark Trust, which is a building preservation charity that restores historic buildings and gives them a new future by letting them for holidays.

The Mackintosh Building was designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh and dates from 1903–4.  It was commissioned by a local draper and ironmonge as a shop with a flat above and workrooms in the attics. The main room of the building runs into a projecting turret, which Mackintosh added to the outer angle of the building in a nod towards Scottish Baronial architecture.  This gives it an airy feel, and a pleasant view of the River Earn and the wooded hills beyond.  This prize is valued at £400 and has to be taken before April 2011.
