Places to visit
Just a short walk across the river is the Botanic Gardens. Well worth a stroll through and a look inside the glasshouses, most notable of which is the Kibble Palace.

The Whangie
The wildcard of walks in the Glasgow area, the Whangie is as good as it gets. After a short car journey from the city, park at the Queen’s View car park and make way for the summit of Auchineden Hill. Then, veer to the west, take the sloping path and brace yourself for what’s in store. At over 100metres in length and frightfully narrow in parts, the Whangie is a wondrous rock formation and stone corridor. Legend has it that this marvel was created by the devil flicking his tail, resulting in the splitting of rock. Avid adventurers who are keen to continue can extend the festivities by trekking until The Devil’s Pulpit makes itself apparent.

Food scene
This is my favourite place to eat in Glasgow. It’s a fish restaurant and serves the best fish around. Solid, honest, simple food. It is quite small so be sure to book well in advance. You can sit at the unreserved bar area if you prefer (no booking required for bar seat)

Fairly new trendy place to go. Asian fusion mixed with best tastes from around the world. Small plates and I love them all!! Booking is not essential as they have a waiting area with a bar but the wait can be long. I suggest you book first.
