The city of Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland, the third largest in the UK and a great place to start your Scotland tours. Glasgow offers something for everyone from fun at the Glasgow Comedy festival to the sophisticated at Kings theatre Glasgow.
Many of the sculptures depict something relating to the life of the person buried below. The most striking monument is at the very top of the hill, the huge monument to John Knox. Looking around Glasgow Necropolis you will find superb works of art including a marble figure of a seated Charles Tennant and works in the Art-nouveau style including a Celtic cross by Charles Rennie Mackintosh.
Enjoy a visit to the Tall Ship, transporting the visitor to Glasgow's maritime heyday! This beautiful vessel was constructed on the River Clyde in 1886 and today visitors can bring their children to learn about the history of this historical vessel. Enjoy a pre-packed picnic lunch or support the Clyde Trust which sees to the restoration and preservation of Glasgow's maritime history.
Here you can discover the wonderful art collections by esteemed artists such as Rembrandt Chardin, as well as Scottish painters and architects, including a wonderful collection of Charles Rennie Mackintosh works, learn the history of his life and a visit his house!
The fun continues off the ship as well, with a dockside area that is set out to let you play some traditional games that would have been very popular in times gone by. You should look for the Pre-5 area too if you have younger children, since this is aimed at them. As you can see this provides a great way to wear out the kids and entertain the whole family at the same time.
Glengoyne Distillery is located quite close to Loch Lomond, near Glasgow. The Centre is open throughout the year for tours and tasting the whiskey! You can see how the world famous Glengoyne whiskey is brewed and how it ends up in its bottle at the famous distillery. Find out more about the Glengoyne Distillery.
Glasgwegans like a good night out and the city is well known for its night-life and music scene... it proudly boasts the most complete range and biggest number of pubs, restaurants, clubs and related entertainment in Scotland! Glasgow is bursting with activities for most tastes. There are plenty of hotels and restaurants to suit every budget.
But my top ten above is just a start for you to consider. If you're thinking of coming over here to spend a week or so on vacation, sprinkle these in between going to a Celtic or Rangers football game at the weekend (where you'll begin to understand what really drives Glasgow's culture), dine at one of the many famous restaurants dotted around the City Centre and the West End, lose your inhibitions in the welcome atmosphere of whatever pub and club tickles your fancy, and then drop like a spent cabbage onto your pillow in one of Glasgow's world renown hotels.
