Glasgow is one of the liveliest and most cosmopolitan
destinations in Europe. The city has been reborn as
a centre of style and vitality set against a backdrop
of outstanding Victorian architecture. Glasgow boasts
world famous art collections, the best shopping in the
United Kingdom outside London, and the most vibrant
and exciting nightlife in Scotland. A must see is the
splendour of Scotland's best known architect Charles
Rennie Mackintosh, whose style adorns many unique attractions
throughout Scotland's largest and greatest city.
Art and culture are important in Glasgow life where
galleries and museums are in abundance - most with free
admission. A choice of over 20 includes the world's
first Museum of Religion and the renowned Burrell Collection
in Pollok Park. No visit would be complete without experiencing
the city's shopping with high street stores, designer
labels, and speciality outlets to explore, with welcome
pit-stops in the first class cafe culture around the
Italian Centre, Merchant City, Gallery of Modern Art
or Buchanan Galleries.

Near the boundary

of being eclipsed by housing developments,
now may be the last chance for you
to visit both this site of national
significance, and the nearby Wallace's
Well, where Wallace took his last
drink as a free man.
