In A red-letter day for Scotland's cultural scene, the Heritage Lottery Fund yesterday announced another Ł15.9 million lottery grant - the second highest award on record in Scotland - towards a new museum of transport in Glasgow. Backers say the Ł50 million museum on the banks of the Clyde will add a major new tourist draw to the region, and is a focal point in the regeneration of Glasgow Harbour. Glasgow City Council is financing the project. The lottery grant ensures that a striking metallic design by the Iraqi Zaha Hadid, a rising star in world architecture, can be built to her plans, officials said.
