I arrived in the evening, so we walked back to the dormitories of University of Strathclyde, I left my stuff and we hit the pubs for a pint of nice beer. Brewdog was the scottish beer brand I really liked, I must remember that. It was a nice change after the beer we usually get in Denmark...

Anyways, the next day we started the sightseeing tour from the Glasgow Cathedral and the Necropolis located on a tall hill from which there is a nice overview of the city. Filled with monumental old gravestones it had an uncanny sacred atmophere. Once again I felt a little Harry Potterish there, though.















Then we headed down to the main street - Buchanan street. Walked there around for a bit and entered The Lighthouse - a museum dedicated to Charles Mackintosh, an art nouveau/secession architect based in Glasgow. The museum itself was located in his building and it had a tower which could be climbed on to see the panorama of the city centre.














Another rather interesing building we saw was Glasgow School of Art, designed by Mackintosh. It was also a school museum and although we have visited it mostly for the building itself, the reproduction of british historic classroms of primry schools was something interesting as well. When I walked in I instantly thought of "Another Brick In The Wall" and imagined children singing the chorus of this immortal song.










Have you heard of glaswegian metro? It's quite uncany because it has only one line which goes in a circle. We wanted to make a full circle and get out at the same station we entered, but eventually didn't do it. It is the third oldest metro in the world after (London and Budapest) and you could tell, the trains and the platforms are just ridiculously tiny and short.



We walked by the river Clyde...


...and up to Kelvingrove Art Gallery...








...and then to actual Hogwarts! The University Of Glasgow is basically a gothic castle on a hill. THe rumour hs it that some scenes of the Potter films were shot there as well. No wonder there were suprisingly many tourists for a university campus.




















Then we got back to the vicinity of Buchanan Street, had dinner, and then headed to Glasgow Green park to enjoy the nice evening.









Next day we saw the Gallery of Modern Art, I liked the foyer the most, such nice ornaments. Then the Central Station and finally the last thing we saw was the Palmarium and People's Palace. A bunch of peculiar places, I must say.

Then in the afternoon I had to say bye-bye to Glasgow and take a bus to Edinburgh Airport.
