I thought it best to post this separate from my Edinburgh inquiry. Glasgow will be the final place we'll visit on a planned holiday to Scotland in mid May 2018. We would appreciate recommendations for lodging for 3 days and 3 nights in Glasgow. We'll be arriving by train from Portree via Ft. William et. al., and will be using public transportation to the maximum extent possible while in the city. We'll depart Glasgow by air for the flight home to the US.
What would be a good way to be introduced to the city when we arrive? We prefer DIY visits as opposed to tours, but if there is a 2-3 hour introductory tour that will assist us in planning the balance of our time in the city, this would be fine. I saw some reviews for a "Glasgow Free Walking Tour" with an address at 369 Calder Street. Most of the reviews (on TripAdvisor) were 5 years ago and one post in 2013 indicated this tour wasn't available, yet a more recent post noted it was in operation (again?).
