36 Hours in Glasgow

The secret is out. The New York Times just released an article on Glasgow this weekend. The link can be found HERE Some highlights are:

"give Glasgow a little extra attention, and you will find that, like the famously inscrutable dialect of its residents, this understatedly stylish city is worth deciphering"

"Join strolling couples...reveling in the 40-acre grounds (of the Botanic Gardens), Victorian glass buildings and, adjacent, the River Kelvin walkway. If that doesn’t settle you, head across the street to Oran Mor...a converted church that houses a beautiful whisky bar with over 250 options, among them peaty Talisker, spicy Glenmorangie and smooth and sweet Macallan. Ahhh, doesn’t that feel better?"
-- This next door to me as I, too, live across the street from the Botanic Gardens :)

"Edinburgh has a castle. Glasgow has a
cathedral."

Anyway, the article is worth reading especially as it gives advice on cheap ways to get here. Glasgow really is a fantastic city and I grow to love living here every single day.
