A couple of weekends ago, I skipped out of work slightly early and caught the 17:30 to Glasgow. ChrisC spotted, months ago, that there were cheap tickets on one of the Virgin West Coast lightning sales, and we thought hey, why not? Glasgow is, after all, one of the biggest cities in the UK and neither of us really knows it.

Overall, Glasgow is lovely. Its centre was largely built in the period best described as Victorian Twiddly, which means it has (like Edinburgh and large chunks of West Yorkshire) a rather pleasantly grand air. It's got a nice big river (unlike Edinburgh which has a weird fake valley), and it's got Big Art all over the place. Some cracking museums, and some really good places to eat.
