at the University of Glasgow, take a campus walking tour. We especially enjoyed
The Cloisters and Quadrangles
The Lion and Unicorn Staircase
Professors walk
Have lunch or ice cream at University Cafe near the campus. It’s an amazing spot! Run by the same family since the early 1900s. Anthony Bourdain loved it, as well. :)

As stated the Kelvingrove Museum is a great choice. When leaving you can walk through the park following the Kelvin River to the University of Glasgow. The Hunterian Museum at the university has a very good collection of Lowell, MA’s own James MacNeill Whistler.
A visit to Glasgow Cathedral with a walk up to the Necropolis is a good walk with great views.
