...This is not just a list of tourist sights but I hope to tell you more about the city and its culture. I am not a native of the city so I think I am unbiased.
Where to start? It is not an easy place to visit as a tourist. In Edinburgh you are force fed tourist sights whilst the locals are fairly ungrateful for you spending all your dosh. But Edinburgh looks nice.
If you haven't a clue about what to see in Glasgow, the first stop is the Tourist Board in George Sq (close to Queen St station) or their web site. This is also where the open-top bus tours start from. Compare deals, some tour tickets are valid for 48 hours not just one day.

...~~~~First Impressions~~~~
When driving up to the hotel you are immediately struck by how lovely this Edwardian building is. The building has been extended to include more bedrooms and a business/conference centre. And we were more then pleased when we seen it. From the driveway, we could see lovely rooms with balconies and we could see into the restaurant and a conservatory style coffee area.
Facing the hotel was a park which had a playground and pitch within it, a pleasant enough view. There was plenty of parking in the car park and parking was free during our stay.
The hotel reception was small but beautiful, very in-keeping with the Edwardian building it was housed in. We could see into the bar, which faces the reception, and at the end of the hall there was a set of stairs leading up to the rooms. At the top of the first...
