Exploring The BEST Things To Do In GLASGOW!!🏴
Today w'ere exploring the best things to do in GLASGOW, SCOTLAND!!
If we're being honest, we had no clue what to expect before arriving in Glasgow. We knew they were obviously known as the capital of Scotland & a major home for Scottish football, but there's SO MUCH to do in Glasgow & this video merely scratches the surface!
Today we start by going to Willow Grove for coffee. Willow Grove Coffee is a very popular coffee shop in Glasgow & the flat white tasted incredible! It's a really popular place & we highly recommend it!
We then made our way over to the University of Glasgow. We knew that this college would be impressive, but it wildly exceeded our expectations! The cloisters gave a really cool Harry Potter feel & the university itself is one of the four oldest universities in the English-speaking world. University of Glasgow is an excellent spot to enjoy coffee while enjoying some spectacular scenery.
From there we hopped in the car & drove into the center of Glasgow to see Buchanan Street. This felt like the main thoroughfare in Glasgow & made for a great afternoon of window shopping. If you're looking to shop until you drop then this is the place for you!! While in the center of Glasgow, make sure to stop & see George Square. George Square is a central hub for the city & has a host of different statues of famous Scottish people who've done great things.
Shortly after we walked over to BrewDog Merchant City. This is a chain restaurant/brewery, but has an excellent selection of Scottish beers that we wanted to try. The barbecue & fries were an excellent treat along with our IPAs!
After sufficiently stuffing ourselves with good food & great beer, we decided to walk a bit to Glasgow Cathedral & the Necropolis behind it. This cathedral is truly stunning. From the vaulted ceilings to the crypt below, we were mesmerized by the architecture & couldn't believe this was free to tour (although donations are encouraged). Behind the Glasgow Cathedral is the Necropolis. Trey loves a good cemetery, & it's not hard to see why when you enter this. These Victorian headstones highlight the ornate tastes of previous generations. Make sure to walk through & marvel at some of the most beautiful headstones you'll find in Britain!
We finished our day by going to Ashton Lane. Ashton Lane is a cobblestoned backstreet in the West End of Glasgow. There are numerous bars & restaurants to choose from, & we opted with stopping at Innis & Gunn Brewery. We sampled some great beers & sandwiches before closing out our day in Glasgow. Glasgow's such an incredible city & we had such a great time. If you love good food & beer then add Glasgow to your itinerary next time you're in the UK!

8 Best Towns to Live in Scotland
What are the best towns in Scotland? Only a few people would disagree with the description of Scotland as the most rugged and most beautiful of all the four UK nations. Many would celebrate Scotland for its deep and fascinating history, striking mountains, and stately castles not to mention misty lochs and its mythological monsters. Truly, cities and towns in Scotland have a lot of good things for which you should love them. Focusing now on towns, we present here the best 8 towns to live in Scotland.
These smaller gems are scattered across the glens and valleys of Scotland to give the nation an incredible landscape. The next time you plan on vacationing in Scotland, try and see if you can choose some of these 8 best towns to live in Scotland.
8. Helensburgh
A good place to begin beaming our searchlight is Helensburgh, a rich coastal town in Argyll and Bute council area. The town founded in 1776 as a spa by Colquhoun is at the intersection of the Firth of Clyde and East Clyde. The 15,000 residents of this town named after its founder’s wife have their own Community Council. Its unique location 40 kilometers northwest of Glasgow on the water, provides good access from the town to Glasgow. That’s one good reason to love it.
According to The Sunday Times ranking of the best places to live in Britain, Helensburgh is one of the 12 best locations to live in Scotland. Among the wide range of factors considered before the conclusion is reached are job availability and satisfaction, academic performances and exam results, community spirit, broadband speed, and local shops. In any of these, Helensburgh is never found wanting. Thus, we agree that this is one of the best towns to live in Scotland.
7. Bearsden
Bearsden, a town in East Dunbartonshire and on the northwestern fringe of Greater Glasgow is the next on our list. The town about 5.2 kilometers northwest of Glasgow City Center is a suburb with a population of about 28,000 and it provides quick and easy access to the city center.
We first thought of including Bearsden here when it appeared on a list of the 8 best places in Scotland. That list was compiled by The Sunday Times. Looking closer, we found out that the town has an array of cute homes, quality schools, and a thriving community of small shops. This makes it a desirable option for raising a family. It has all of the nighttime entertainment you could ask for.
Though the crime rate in Glasgow city center is high, Bearsden is quite quiet, making it a good place to call home around Glasgow. It’s also one of the coolest neighborhoods in the world.
6. Dunkeld
Let’s proceed to Dunkeld a town in Perth and Kinross. The town is located on the north bank of the River Tay and opposite Birnam. Dunkeld is frequently referred to as the Gateway to the Highlands because of its proximity to the geological Highland Boundary Fault. The town that is one of the most loved in the UK is also one of the best towns to live in Scotland. It’s a popular holiday area in Scotland. It’s also well connected by road and rail to all the major centers in Scotland and the other parts of the UK. Though the town with an estimated population of 1,300 may be relatively small, it’s among the best.
This historically and naturally significant town has been a settlement since ancient times. That’s why you will find a historical cathedral and other historical edifices that would even remind you that it was declared the capital of the Scottish nation in the 9th Century.

Places to see in ( Musselburgh - UK )
Places to see in ( Musselburgh - UK )
Musselburgh is the largest settlement in East Lothian, Scotland, on the coast of the Firth of Forth, 6 miles east of Edinburgh city centre. The name Musselburgh is Old English in origin, with mussel referring to the shellfish, and burgh derived from the Old English for town.
Musselburgh was first settled by the Romans in the years following their invasion of Scotland in AD 80. They built a fort a little inland from the mouth of the River Esk, at Inveresk. They bridged the Esk downstream from the fort, and thus established the line of the main eastern approach to Scotland's capital for most of the next 2,000 years. The bridge built by the Romans outlasted them by many centuries. It was rebuilt on the original Roman foundations some time before 1300, and in 1597 it was rebuilt again, this time with a third arch added on the east side of the river. The Old Bridge is also known as the Roman Bridge and remains in use today by pedestrians. To its north is the New Bridge, designed by John Rennie the Elder and built in 1806. This in turn was considerably widened in 1925. The Battle of Pinkie Cleugh was fought south of Musselburgh.
Musselburgh is known as The Honest Toun, and celebrates this by the annual election of the Honest Lad and Lass. The town motto Honestas dates back to 1332, when the Regent of Scotland, Randolph, Earl of Moray, died in the burgh after a long illness during which he was devotedly cared for by the townsfolk. His successor offered to reward the people for their loyalty but they declined, saying they were only doing their duty. The new regent, the Earl of Mar, was impressed and said they were a set of honest men, hence Honest Toun.
The town and its population grew considerably throughout the latter half of the twentieth century, with major local authority and private housing developments on both the eastern and western outskirts. Before 1975, Musselburgh was part of Midlothian, not East Lothian. It became part of the East Lothian District following the Local Government (Scotland) Act 1973 and subsequently East Lothian unitary council area in 1996.
Musselburgh is served by two railway stations. Musselburgh railway station is in the west of the town, adjacent to Queen Margaret University and has regular Abellio ScotRail services from Edinburgh Waverley to North Berwick. It is a relatively new station, having opened in 1988. The other station serving the town is Wallyford railway station to the east of the town in the village of Wallyford, which opened in 1994. The town's original station was close to the town centre at the end of a short branch from Newhailes Junction. Passenger services from there ceased in 1964, and the line closed to all traffic in the early-1970s. The former railway line is now a road bypassing the Fisherrow area of the town.
( Musselburgh - UK ) is well know as a tourist destination because of the variety of places you can enjoy while you are visiting the city of Musselburgh . Through a series of videos we will try to show you recommended places to visit in Musselburgh - UK

Bearsden - Glasgow|🏴
UNDISCOVERED SCOTLAND
BEARSDEN
Bearsden is an affluent and leafy suburb of Glasgow, located about six miles north-west of the city centre. Despite effectively forming part of the Glasgow conurbation, in local authority terms it forms part of East Dunbartonshire.
The focus of the town lies at Bearsden Cross, the crossroads formed by the meeting of the A809, Drymen Road, and the A808, Roman Road. The main shopping area lies to the north-east of the Cross and the 500 seat Bearsden Hall lies to its north-west. Meanwhile, Bearsden's remarkable collection of imposing churches seem to occupy prime locations wherever you look.
For an urban area, much of Bearsden is surprisingly reclusive. Never was the term leafy suburbs more fitting: row after row of tree lined residential streets are home to large houses that often hide away behind tall hedges. It no surprise that official figures say that most of Bearsden's 27,967 residents, who together make up 10,417 households, live in detached houses; and that only 4% of residential properties in Bearsden are council-owned, the smallest figure for any town in Scotland. One survey ranked Bearsden's postcode, G61, as the 7th most wealthy in the United Kingdom, and it has been estimated that 176 millionaires live in the town.
Just a little further afield, Bearsden Railway Station can be found a quarter of a mile south of Bearsden Cross, and the well preserved remains of a Roman bath house built on the line of the Antonine Wall lie a similar distance east, along the aptly named Roman Road.
The Roman were the first residents of Bearsden to leave any significant traces of their having been here. The bath house is all that remains of a fort that extended some distance towards Bearsden Cross, while the name and course of Roman Road remember the road the Romans built along the line of the Antonine Wall.
For most of its life, the settlement here was known as New Kilpatrick. Growth started to occur in the early 1800s as owners of factories increasingly crowding into Glasgow began to look for somewhere to live that was convenient for the city, but uphill and, ideally, upwind from it. New Kilpatrick fitted the bill exactly.
But the real development of Bearsden followed the building in 1863 of a railway station a quarter of a mile to the south on the line that linked Glasgow to Milngavie. The railway station took its name not from the nearby settlement of New Kilpatrick, but instead from a house that stood close to the site of the station. Whether the house had become known as Bearsden because the local laird once kept a pet bear there is debatable. What is more certain is that the arrival of the railway brought much accelerated growth to the place that very quickly took on the name of Bearsden.
In 1924 Glasgow's electric trams made it across the mile or so of open countryside that still separated Bearsden from the edge of Glasgow proper. The trams stopped running in 1956, but the railway line was electrified in 1961 and housing development continued apace, to the extent that by 1980 the gap between Bearsden and Glasgow had disappeared, and the only remaining open spaces were associated with the numerous golf courses in the area.
Rouken Glen Park (Named the best park in the UK.)🏴
Rouken Glen is described as “a place for people and nature”. Rouken Glen Park has been voted by the public as the Scotland's Best Park at the prestigious annual Fields in Trust Awards 2017.
Rouken Glen Park in East Renfrewshire, Scotland, has been named the best park in the whole of the UK.
The East Renfrewshire park was crowned the country's finest by the national charity Fields in Trust at its annual awards event.
Nestled within the historic Rouken Glen Park, you’ll find these gorgeous, cascading waterfalls.
About six miles outside of Glasgow, in East Renfrewshire, Rouken Glen Park covers a massive 143 acres of land. Steeped in history, the park dates back to 1530, and has been open to the public since 1906. It was even voted the UK’s Best Park back in 2016
The park is a perfect spot for quiet contemplation, with beautiful woods and gardens to explore and a big boating lake to admire. However, the main attraction is arguably the impressive waterfalls found dotted around. Somewhere between natural and man-made, these spectacular water features were somewhat rearranged (and enlarged!) a couple of hundred years ago, when they were used as a means of power by Victorian textile workers. The remains of the textile works are still there, including iron beams and exposed wooden boards.
In the summer months, the walled garden is open Monday to Thursday 10am–6.45pm, and Friday to Sunday 10am–4.30pm (or 10am to 3pm in the winter). The Pavilion Visitor Centre is open 9am-5pm in the summer, and 10am–4pm in the winter. The park is accessible from Whitecraigs train station, which is just 20 minutes from Glasgow Central.

Kelvin Walkway | Glasgow to Milngavie | Clydeside to Countryside
The Kelvin Walkway extends the West Highland Way south to the centre of Glasgow, from Milngavie to Glasgow Heliport on the north bank of the River Clyde, where it can be linked to the longer Clyde Walkway that continues south from the city. The route follows, as much as possible, the three rivers of the Allander, Kelvin and Clyde, to form a 'green link' from the bustling city to the countryside.
On this walk we start from the Riverside Museum, head north through the city before crossing open countryside and eventually finishing in Milngavie.

Rainy Walk in Dawsholm Park Woods - Glasgow | June 2022
A rainy walk to the location of a parakeet through Dawsholm Park woods. It may be helpful for others looking for the parakeets. I found this one on a different day but the place at the end of the video is where I found it. I spent quite a long time wandering around before I found it. It flew over my head before it landed on the branch.
