Lorraine Herbison Hollinshead
Lorraine Herbison Hollinshead was born in Ballymena, Northern Ireland, and made her way to Glasgow in September 1993. What began as a move soon became a lifelong love affair with the city.
Now proudly calling Glasgow home, Lorraine, Director of News and Sport for Scotland and Northern Ireland, has spent 25 years working at Clyde 1, Glasgow’s number one radio station, becoming part of the city’s daily soundtrack and story. Over the years, she has embraced everything Glasgow offers, from the warmth and humour of its people to its unmistakable architecture and energy.
Being invited to sit for Mother Glasgow is an honour that feels especially meaningful in this milestone year, a celebration of both career and city. Lorraine considers herself well and truly ‘Clyde built’.
“I just love Glasgow. The friendliness of the people, the craic and the architecture. It’s such an honour to be part of this project, especially in the year I celebrate 25 years at Clyde 1. I think you could say I’m now Clyde built.”
