Also, if you have time, take a walk in the park next to the Museum. The park is a great spot for Glasgow people watching and a magnet for skateboarders, rollerbladers and stunt bike riders. You cannot not fail to bump into some Glasgow life in Kelvingrove park and like the painting it will be an alternative view.

The park and Museum do Glasgow proud, both a must visit.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/22767 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11727
The Glasgow houses (Port Sunlight Cottage) were intended to be an example of how houses in Glasgow would be built from then on, but this never happened, and now they stand alone, looking quite out of place amongst the sandstone of the city. They are now private residences.

It's a beautiful walk up through the park to get to the houses, and it leaves you within easy reach of the Transport Museum, the Kelvingrove museum and art gallery, and the West End.

And if it rains, the Burrell Collection is on site - marvellous antiquities and art and entry is free. Or you could visit Pollok House, an 18th century mansion house in the care of the National Trust for Scotland. Both venues have restaurants.

If going by car, park by Pollok House rather than by the Burrell if you want to avoid parking fees.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11720 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11695
For all those who think Glasgow is a grey, dull and depressing excuse for a city - be prepared to have your socks very pleasantly knocked off.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/11695 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10785
You also get a view down the river to Erskine Bridge, Dumbarton Rock and the Old Kilpatrick Hills, which are largely obscured from Queens Park.

A much less salubrious part of Glasgow, of course, than Queens Park.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/10785 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7619 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/7619 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3210 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/3210
