Whiskey, shipbuilding, and The Clockwork Orange.

Glasgow is an electric and eclectic city, where Victorian architecture rubs shoulders with brutalist concrete, and traditional Celtic culture thrives alongside a thriving nightlife. It’s a city that has something for everyone, from world-class museums and art galleries to a vibrant music and nightlife scene. The city centre is compact and easy to explore on foot, with a lively mix of high-street stores and independent boutiques. The Merchant City is the go-to place for shopping, with a range of designer labels and independent stores. For a more traditional Glasgow shopping experience, head to the Barras, a weekend market where you can find everything from second-hand clothes to Scottish produce. When it comes to food, Glasgow is a city of contrasts. You can enjoy a Michelin-starred meal or tuck into a traditional Scottish fry-up, and there’s something to suit every taste and budget.

There is so much to discover in Glasgow! It's Scotland's largest city and it really packs a punch. It often gets a bad rap because it doesn't have a castle like several other Scottish cities and some people still believe it's a dangerous city. However, I have never felt unsafe in Glasgow and I've spent extensive time exploring it.

It may not have a castle, but it has a lot more to offer. Iconic museums like the beautiful Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum and the quirky GoMA where you'll able to see the symbol of Glasgow: a statue of the 1st Duke of Wellington riding a horse... that is constantly sporting a bright orange traffic cone on its head. This is the humor of Glasgow and I love it!
