 Pic taken from a chain email by vyxxyn It is said to be the prettiest loch, sorry lake, in Scotland though I'd say Loch Awe is as its name says, awesome! Unfortunately I didn't have my camera with me at that time, but anyway Loch Lomond is more famous being the spot for inspirations of writers and poets alike. The most scenic areas are the north or south end. I went to Balloch and it's very close to Glasgow. More can be seen on foot than on board the ferry. Just a matter of whether you can be bothered ;) Leave a Comment Address: BallochDirections: Take a train from Glasgow, I think it was from Queen St station (not Central Stn).

 Inverary castle by globetrott Inverary castle, about 40 miles from Glasgow. The park is free of charge, the castle is partly still inhabited, the other part may be visited against a small fee. Also have a look for the great belltower in Inverary ( 300 meters from the castle ), the jail, that is a museum now and the great port-area with a celtic cross.

Outside of the West End and City Centre there are plenty of things to do to get a flavour of Glasgow life. Most suburbs have really nice victorian parks often with duck ponds and facilities for children. They are spacious and well planned and are well looked after by the council. They are a mecca for Glasgwegians when the sun comes out as (as most people live in flats without gardens) and will give you a real flavour of Glasgow. I recommend Queens Park in the Southside of Glasgow, there is a large wooded area, a glasshouse with a cafe and some exotic animals, swings etc for the kids, tennis courts, 5 a-side football and a large lake and smaller duck pond. It is also chock full of wildlife, on a rainy day in July I spotted lots of squirrels, residents swans with cygnets, rabbits, lots of types of ducks and birds. I recommend buying some fish and chips from Ramseys supper shop and sitting by the pond. Leave a Comment Address: Southside suburbsDirections: Queens Park, general area Queens Park/Langside/Strathbungo/Shawlands. Buses to Shawlands (38 etc), Rutherglen (66) Carmunnock (44, 44A) go past.

 Stirling Castle by zuriga The following photos were taken at Stirling Castle, north of Glasgow. The Castle is in the care of Historic Scotland and is open to the public all year round and seven days a week. It's a fine example of the many historic castles to be found all over Scotland. Just think Braveheart and Mary, Queen of Scots! Leave a Comment

 Culzean Castle by zuriga Culzean Castle overlooks the Firth of Clyde, just outside the town of Maybole. Besides the interesting castle (where Eisenhower used to relax during WWII), there are also beautiful gardens and lovely paths to wander on.

by Chris_Sopko If you make it to St. Andrews you should see the grounds of a now defunct cathedral. Old Tom Morris's grave is located here! You can't see it anywhere else! Leave a Comment
