THE iconic Waverley has been nominated for a top award – but the paddle steamer needs passengers’ votes to secure the prize.

The vessel is up for ‘Glasgow’s Favourite Business’ at the Glasgow Business Awards, which will take place at DoubleTree by Hilton on October 3.

Waverley faces competition from radio station Clyde 1, Merchant City restaurant Café Gandolfi and the Glasgow Film Theatre.

A public poll has been launched to select the winner, with the votes being accepted until 12pm on August 30.

A spokesperson for Waverley Excursions said: “We’re absolutely delighted to be recognised and need your support to help us win.
