Exploring Glasgow's West End

Exploring Glasgow's West End
The cultural heart of Scotland

We will end the day with three hours in the West End of Glasgow. First on the cards will be lunch and there are a plethora of options available locally.

The undisputed highlight of the area is the Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum (free entry). With its 22 themed, state of the art galleries and over 8000 exhibits on display, it is unsurprising that is the UK’s most visited museum outside of London.  Collections include Charles Rennie Macintosh, natural history, armour and art, with the most famous painting on display being the Salvador Dali masterpiece, ‘Christ of St John of the Cross’. This museum truly is one of Scotland’s cultural highlights.

If the sun is shining, you may also wish to spend some time in the surrounding Kelvingrove Park.

Alternatively, you may wish to enjoy one of Scotland’s other “cultural highlights”; Glasgow West End’s legendary pub scene!  From where we drop you off there are many traditional pubs within easy walking distance. You may wish to start across the road at the contemporary and trendy BrewDog, before heading for a complete contrast in “the Highland Triangle” – an aptly named area which boasts the biggest concentration of proper “Scottish” bars in the city. There is a long tradition of Scottish Highlanders and Islanders settling in this corner of Glasgow so, be sure to listen out for the native Gaelic tongue if you pop in for a pint at The Islay InnThe Ben NevisThe Park Bar or The Snaffle Bit.  

You’ll be sure of a warm welcome at these bars in Scotland’s friendliest city, but don’t be tempted by the locals to stay too long!
