Glasgow -
In the old town, visit Glasgow's oldest house, the Provand’s Lordship was built in 1471. It was originally part of a hospital and has been extensively restored, containing 17th-century furniture donated by Sir William Burrell. While there visit the adjacent St. Mungo Museum, the St. Nicholas Garden of medicinal herbs, the Tontine Faces (a series of stone masks with a fascinating past) and the magnificent Glasgow Cathedral.
In the West End visit the Kelvingrove Art Galleries, also the new Riverside Museum with its adjacent historic sailing ship Glenlee, and the trendy boutiques and bistros of the University quarter around Byres Road.
On the south side visit the splendid Pollok Country Park, a large estate which was gifted to the city and in which you will find the beautifully restored Pollok House and the splendid new building which houses the Burrell Collection. While in the vicinity visit the Charles Rennie MacIntosh House at Bellahouston Park, and while on MacIntosh the Willow Tearooms in Sauciehall Street are well worth a visit.
See as much of Glasgow on the city tour bus, which starts from George Square and you can hop on and hop off at various tourist attractions.
