A Wee Bit of Glasgow

Glasgow has redeemed itself to a great extent, we have found out some of its nice bits. We had a very nice day touring around the city and we will have a blog in the next day or so about the 300 year old pub we went to dine in.

Just had to post this, this is literally how someone parked, got out of their car and went in to shop.

Our day in Glasgow started off with a light lunch by the River Clyde (note to self: NEVER offer a seagull a piece of bread – they have the ability to call ALL their relatives), then on over the street to the St. Andrew’s Cathedral and a long leisurely sit in Starbucks.

River Clyde Stage area. Our little lunch and where I learnt my lesson to NEVER feed a pigeon.

St. Andrew's Cathedral. No photos of the inside...felt a little too improper to do so.

Eventually we made out way to the West End of Glasgow, took a wander in the shops and came across the coziest little bookshop, they even have a little fireplace to go sit by and peruse your favorite novel. The shopping area – I believe is Hyndland, is nice, clean and quaint. Our original impression with all the litter has improved – there are just a few scuzzy bits.

SO many books!!!

And we found a Piping College!! Aimee Jesso I thought of you!!

The University grounds are very European (cool old buildings and gardens), the Kelvingrove Museum is right near there. We only had 25 minutes in the museum and so we will be going back.

The Entrance. The Statue stares right at you. Intimidating.

Why do we not paint and sculpt our ceilings like this anymore? Brilliant.

Organ! Love it!

And we found a music store! It was tucked away down on the bottom floor of a building (near the Piping College). We almost missed it and we are so glad we didn't! It felt like L&M and they had the BEST acoustic room. The green couch was my fave.

A few moments.....

Jayson's hair. Enough said.
