Guys - as you may have guessed from everything you hear about me on the site, I love to plan and be organised!!! Therefore as our trip to Glasgow is getting closer, I am starting to read up on what's on offer to do and see while we're there.

I'm a massive fan of Charles Rennie Mackintosh so would like to see some of his architechure etc, visit the Willow Tea rooms and browse the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum from what I've read so far! I know shopping is up there on the list for lots of you, but due to a leaky roof, buying 3 new pairs of trainers in the January sales and the new car in December, my spending needs to be kept to a minimum. (and with changing jobs I get paid on 21st feb for a part month and then don't get paid my my new job until end of March - yikes! )

I'm guessing we may go off and do different things and meet up to eat if we all want to see/do different things, but if there's anything people really don't want to do, Ben and I are arriving Thursday lunchtime so we could do some of our culture before everyone else gets here!

I should have some time to do some research on places to go as work is likely to be steady in feb when my manager is away, but if anyone has any ideas they want to share, let's start the discussion!!!!

If all you want to do is shop, please don't be offended if we don't join you some of the time!

Our poor little legs will be aching, let's hope there's plenty of pit stops for food and wine...hoorah!!         From: kal           02/02/2008 20:02:30 Oooh!!! I love Rennie Macintosh so the tea room sounds great as does the botanic gardens. Where's the best place to get fed and watered? I do mean alcohol and not coffee!!! I'm sure you knew that tho me being an alcoholic and all!! Not really, i'm the biggest lightweight ever!         From: jenni70           30/01/2008 10:49:20 If you're interested in Rennie Mackintosh, I also recommend House for an Art Lover at Bellahouston. I'm sure it must be possible to get there on the underground - Ibrox station possibly. I would skip the Savoy Centre altogether, personally. There are two Rennie Mackintosh tearooms in Glasgow, I forget which one was the original, but one is just opposite Princes Square, so you could combine culture with shopping.             Page:  1 | 2 | 3 | Next >  Last >>
