Glasgow

• The excellent Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum
• Pollock Country Park: The Burrell Collection, gardens & Highland Cattle
• The Tenement House
• The Necropolis
• Glasgow Botanic Gardens
• Clydeside Distillery
• Day trip to Culzean Castle on the Ayrshire coast

Have you looked at any day tours to areas not covered on your RS tour?

Check to see what Rabbies has to offer.

Jeanm has given lots of excellent ideas.

I would add
• Glasgow Cathedral
• Riverside Museum
• Barras Market
• City Centre Murals trail

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.

Thanks for starting this thread. I'm on the RS 13 day Scotland tour and have a free day in Glasgow. Bookmarking for my trip.
Happy Travels!

I would add the Hunterian Art Gallery and Mackintosh at the Willows to the list. You need to get tickets for the guided tour for Mackintosh at the Willows in advance. The tearoom is a nice place for lunch. I would recommend that you make reservations for lunch after the tour.

Another yes to Lois’ suggestion to Mackintosh at the Willow! Such a great spot. We didn’t take the tour but saw it going on. We had the place to ourselves practically for breakfast. It was one of the best breakfasts we’ve had, too. Just a lovely historical place.

I would also say check out the listings of the Kings and the Theatre Royal if there is something on that week. Both get a lot of touring productions as well as local productions.
