Visiting University of Glasgow, Scotland

If you are looking for a hotel rather than a B&B we stay at the Premier Inns. They are reasonably priced, secure and usually have a decent restaurant attached. We alternated between these Inns & B&Bs depending on the situation. Check out their web site and see if there is a location that will be handy for YOU. They have all sorts of special deals such as early bookings, etc. Much like a Holiday Inn Express. We stayed at Premier Inns all over the UK and were always impressed. They have a breakfast option that fits our needs. Enjoy Scotland - you will love your visit!

Hi The university's in the west-end. You'll prob want to walk. Look at places like the grosvenor hilton (the grosvenor is the nearest hotel). If you want a graduation mean look at the restaurants around Byer's road - eg The Ubiquitous Chip. If you're going ultra smart it'll be One Devonshire Gardens (i was a regular there, but stopped because I felt I was wasting my money). I'd go Grosvenor and Chip.

You should have a wonderful time. I echo Susan's suggestion that you stay in the west end of Glasgow. If you want to get downtown to tour a bit, there is subway that you can take that is to use. In the west end, look to visit Kelvingrove. It's got a wonderful organ and other interesting exhibits. Personally, I also liked the Botanic Gardens. Also, there is some great music and restaurants. But, I expect your son will know all about them! Pam
