Glasgow, is Scotland's biggest city and we understand to be now one of Europe's "go to" places for fun. The neighbourhoods, with beautiful Victorian architecture, cool cafés and a picturesque riverfront are all memorable and have become very hard for Sue and I to say goodbye to.
The photo below is our very cool and affordable residence for the last 6 nights. Bookings are available though Airbnb /described as Rough Luxe Victorian Villa, Broompark Circus -
It’s hard to keep track of the number of bars and restaurants in the city centre but we've attached a photo or two in the areas within Ashton Lane that we visited. (Glasgow's equivalent to Dublin's Temple Bar area)
We took in several outstanding art galleries, but with time running out we had to skip a must see being Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum postponing until our return at the end of the month. Meanwhile, one of Glasgow’s oldest districts, George Square is bustling with boutique hotels, restaurants, shops and galleries as pictured below.
Glasgow has some of Scotland’s most stunning landscapes with parks and the great outdoors not far away with scenic walks and bike routes.
Botanic Gardens are an oasis of calm with a blend of formal gardens and woodlands.
The highlight this week was attending a true Scottish Wedding Reception. The event was held at The Trades Hall one of the most historic buildings in Glasgow and located within Merchant City area. Naturally this called for full dress attire for most Scottish gents though once the music started and the dancing began there was no telling us apart from those born and breed here. photo of Trades Hall below
