If you are ready to soak in some Scottish atmosphere and enjoy the history and nature then here are four places that you must see when you go there.
Peoples Palace
If you are interested in learning about the people of Glasgow, past and present, then you must see the Peoples Palace. This is not a history of Scotland’s royals it is a history of there regular people that have done extraordinary things.
Scottish Football Museum
Where I come from football means something different that what it means in Scotland, so I will say that this is a museum of what Americans would call soccer. Hamdpen Park is where this museum is located and also where the oldest football team calls home.
Tenement House
Would you like to step back in time to the year 1911? You can when you tour the Tenement House. This home of one of Glasgow’s upper middle class and is just as the occupant had left it.
Glasgow Green
Glasgow Green is the oldest park in Scotland and has been used for many interesting purposes over its long history. Today this park has been returned to its former uses and you can go enjoy it. The Peoples Palace is located in Glasgow Green so you can visit both together easily.
