Day 55: Thursday 2nd June 2022
Our last full day in Scotland today! As we only spent one day in Glasgow, we decided to get the train there again this morning. This time, we knew our way around a bit more and had planned where we wanted to go, starting off with a drink at a nice cafe in Enoch Square first.
We then walked towards the Cathedral. The University of Strathclyde has a number of buildings around this area, and we found ourselves wandering around here for a while. It did look nice, and I would have liked to have considered it for my university!
We were able to enter the Cathedral just before it closed for lunch, so had a look around, and admired the stain glass and how big it was. Located next to the Cathedral is the Necropolis, a Victorian cemetery known for its architecture, where the graves of 50,000 people are located. It was huge, so we only saw a bit of it, but very interesting to see the different monuments.
From here, we walked to the ‘People’s Palace’
in Glasgow Green. This was a great museum - lots of information about different aspects of life in Glasgow including the war and sports and entertainment. Just after we came out of the museum, it began to rain! The weather otherwise had been really nice. Luckily it did not last long, and so we were able to walk by the river and find Stereo to have lunch. The food was delicious! It was a really cool place too - great music and a nice atmosphere. We went to the shops for a couple of things before returning to Stereo for pudding.
We returned home on the train fairly early, as we leave tomorrow and had a few things to do. A really good time in Glasgow - wish we had more time to spend here and in Ayr, as there is so much to explore.
Glasgow looks amazing. We're planning to go there (and Edinburgh) in September.
