We spent an evening in Glasgow on our Jim Malcolm tour of Scotland last year, and I didn't feel it was enough time to explore this fascinating city. We stayed in the Grand Central Hotel, part of one of one of the most beautiful and interesting railway stations I've ever seen. I took a three-hour walking tour of the downtown area, and the architecture was just stunning. I could easily have spent two days walking the downtown area, and another day visiting museums.

Glasgow is a big city, and you have to drive through a lot of boring suburbia to get to the city center, but the central city is certainly worth a visit.

I hope to go back to Glasgow in June when we take our Skye and Orkney tour with Jim Malcolm, but maybe that won't happen. My wife and cities don't get along. She wants to go to Findhorn, which is some kind of New Age shrine. Maybe I should go to Glasgow and put her on the train to Findhorn, but I think I'll probably be a good husband and go along with her (and I'm bound to find something interesting in Findhorn).
