Glasgow

The full spectrum of quality shops, restaurants and bars - and the fine architecture that houses them - are only the most obvious evidence of Glasgow's character today. 

There are reminders of its status at various points in history, such as its 12-13th century Cathedral and the impressive 19th century building, which houses the University - as well as the equally impressive art gallery and museum competing for attention nearby.

In a city renowned for the character of its people, it is appropriate that its famous citizens from the past have provided some of the other attractions that should be experienced today. The architectural legacies of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Alexander 'Greek' Thomson, plus the collections of William Burrell, all add to the variety of Glasgow tours. The fascinating transport museum recalls the days of trams in the city, and much more.

Our half and full day tours can take in some or all of the above to give a real taste of Glasgow's culture.

 The River Clyde provides one route from the city's doorstep to the islands beyond, or travel a short distance north and west by car, coach or train, to explore the wonderful expanse of the highlands and islands.
