people's place

The most interesting thing about Glasgow are the people that live there.
Glaswegians are very down to earth and very friendly (unlike ppl from Edinburgh) and they will always help you out if you need some information (sometimes they'll help you a bit too much,but that is another story). My fondest memories are the lone piper who was practising for the world piping championships under my hotel window after arriving in the city and watching the sun set over the city from the flag pole in Queens park (not advisable anymore as it is now a dodgy palce after dark)
Never Say: "Not Interested.............!"
by johngayton
If you ever find yourself in a strange pub in Glasgow (or pretty much anywhere in Scotland) and get chatting to someone at the bar and that person asks The Question: "And whit team do you support?".
The "I'm not interested in football." is not an answer!! This will mark you as some sort of strange alien species, undoubtedly with perverse and possibly threatening attitudes to the status quo.
And of course to get the answer wrong: vis-a-vis Rangers or Celtic, could even be life-threatening.
The best answer is: "...em, (you must always start with .....em before replying to a question in Scotland) well I've always liked to see how Partick Thistle are doing, I'm not so much a fan but, you know....the Jags....well, I've always had a soft spot for them."
This usually results in all at the bar taking great pity on your many years of suffering for following such dunderheids and can even result in people buying you drinks!

If you go to Glasgow it is well worth a trip to the south side of the city to Rangers football club. Rangers has a 5 star stadium(as awarded by FIFA) and is one of only 12 stadiums in Europe to have this privilige. Take a tour of the trophy room which is packed with the history wihich has made Rangers the club that has won more cups and championships than any other club in the WORLD. Sample the atmosphere of the big game and enjoy what is a day to remember. A red white and blue scarf and a Union jack flag will also come in handy.
Defo the most heinous of...
by nixon_fc
Defo the most heinous of crimes commited by those travelling to Glasgow would be to not make the half hour trip to loch lomond and stay up there for the night. There is a youth hostel at Rowardennan right at the foot of Ben Lomond which by chance also has small bar along the road 2mins towards Balmaha.
Swanky bar
by Minstrelette about Corinthian Bar
Built in 1842 and originally housing a bank, Corinthian Bar is perfect if you want an upscale but comfortable place to spend an evening. The cocktails are delicious, the atmosphere is spacious and cozy at the same time, and you have a choice of the main bar, a piano bar, and a nightclub in the basement. This building is truly impressive. business-casual, but on a quiet night, we got away with slightly more casual
