Lambies Lost Doo Posted October 28, 2012 Report Share Posted October 28, 2012 Got 2 couples up from England in Glasgow in 2 weekends time and thinking about what to do and see in Glasgow and need to get my tourist hat on. Anyone done the same for people who have visited in a similar situation. I'm thinking Friday night - local for a couple of drinks in Shawlands. Saturday - weather dependent Necropolis, Merchant City, Alien War at The Arches, lunch venue to be decided, (hoping to sneak away to Thistle game with the gents), walk up to West End including Park Circus, Kelvingrove Park, University Avenue, dinner in West End venue to be decided) Sunday - late breakfast in Shawlands/Strathbungo (as stay in Cathcart) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggernaut Posted October 29, 2012 Report Share Posted October 29, 2012 The obvious ones that spring to mind are the Kelvingrove museum/art gallery, and the transport museum (though I haven't been to the new one). The Burrell Collection too, if they are arty types. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam Leitch Loyal Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Thistle v Dunfermline. Get pished before and after. Sorted. Simples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alx Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 Not a bad Itinerary. I would pop into the cathedral for half an hour after the Necropolis (especially if you know where Bishop Wishart's tomb is, what a character he was). Maybe squeeze in the Ben Nevis, Lismore and Oran Mor for refreshments. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thomas Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 What about Provands Lordship across from the Necropolis Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaggernaut Posted October 30, 2012 Report Share Posted October 30, 2012 What about Provands Lordship across from the Necropolis Also excellent. Just takes around 30 min or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicofan Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 (edited) Pollok Park would be worth a visit seen as your over this side of the city...maybe just visit Pollok House..as the park will dreich this time of year! Disclaimer : Do not mistake Pollok House with the Pollok Inn about a mile up the road as your guests may end up kidnapped Edited October 31, 2012 by Chicofan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lambies Lost Doo Posted October 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 Thanks folks. It's hard to put on a "tourist" head when people are coming up especially when it's couples. I pray for a dry weekend..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
