Also worth visiting in Glasgow... KELVINGROVE ART Also worth visiting in Glasgow...

KELVINGROVE ART GALLERY & MUSEUM: I’m not a huge museum fan, but when they come in spectacular buildings and have spitfires hanging from the ceiling, I’m in! The architecture of this splendid Victorian building is the main draw, although the 22 themed galleries are pretty impressive too. We loved meeting Sir Roger the Asian elephant, seeing paintings by local Glasgow artists, and spotting the legendary haggis 😊 There’s a bit of everything here, as well as daily organ recitals which really send shivers down your spine. 

GLASGOW UNIVERSITY: Not usually something you’d find on a tourist itinerary, but the university here is a real architectural work of art. The Cloisters are the main draw and have been used as a filming location for several TV shows over the years. You can wander freely around much of the complex, admiring the buildings and enjoying the views looking over the city. The university sits just above the Kelvingrove, so it makes sense to combine the two.

THE CATHEDRAL: The medieval cathedral was a mindblower too. It’s one of the biggest I’ve ever seen, partly because it’s built into a hillside and seems to have an extra level than most. The cathedral is the oldest in Scotland, and used to be a pilgrimage site, built on top of the tomb of St. Mungo.

Getting into the Christmas spirit with a girl’s Getting into the Christmas spirit with a girl’s weekend in Glasgow. It’s a city that often gets overshadowed by Edinburgh, and to be honest I wasn’t expecting too much from our visit. Yet Glasgow is full of surprises, and to say I was impressed by the historic architecture, the imposing streets and the hilltop views would be an understatement. The city is less touristy than Edinburgh, and we felt it had more in common with London than the Scottish capital. Which is an entirely good thing! 

I'll be posting a few of our highlights over the next week, starting with...

STREET ART: Glasgow really takes street art to a whole new level, with enormous murals painted on the side of many a building across the city. There’s a dedicated Street Art Trail to follow, which takes you to corners that you’d probably not have seen otherwise. The focus of the project is rejuvenating sites that have become a bit dilapidated over the years, brightening up the streets with splashes of colour and creativity. Our favourite pieces were by Glasgow-based artist, Smug, who manages photorealistic murals using just aerosol cans.
