Glasgow Cathedral
by JUNLI
Glasgow Cathedral It's said there a saint buried there and that's the reason why this cathedral exists. (Who is that guy??)
Although Glasgow Cathedral is the only medieval cathedral in Scotland and it's really magnificent, I still can't enjoy it very much because of its *black face*. A local told me that it was the fault of soot and grime which made this cathedral looks like that. (The coal was the only main power source in Glasgow for a long time.) Even if there were several cleaning and polishing projects trying to get ride of its *black face*, it still can't thoroughly come back. Maybe we should think it as the layers of history...
Required packing
by mykitten
backpack and a bag with wheels as you'll be pulling it around a bit probably Trainers (sneakers!),denims, kagool or some kind of pull on easy waterproof jacket. A brolly (umbrella) is a good bet as even when it looks sunny it always rains! None needed its a city you can buy it here! good selection of camera shops so none needed Only if you are going to Loch Lomond or further north in which case take Midgie Repellant! (Avon Skin So Soft is good)
The West Highland Way
by husain
The long-distance footpath known as the West Highland Way begins in Milngavie, one of Glasgows suburbs, and runs for 152km, past the foot of Ben Nevis and Loch Lomond, right up to to Fort William.
Every year thousands of tourists take this trek - estimates put the number at over 15,000 walkers who manage to walk the entire way every year - following ancient and historic routes, and walking past Britains highest mountain and Scotands largest lake...
This stone pillar in Milngavieis a popular landmark for tourists to pose with:)
Something's missing - here you may find it
by cadja about Missing
A secondhand CD/DVD/video shop. Well sorted with new items several times a week. They also have a section for new CD's at very reasonale pricing. Well, those you can't find anywhere else or stuff you didn't know you missed, but sure could be worth a few punds. From about 1.50 and up to about 10.
