Day 4 - Glasgow

On the fourth day Karen and I took a sightseeing hop-on-hop-off bus around Glasgow. I had not thought that you would see much by taking a tour bus. However it was great. The bus cut down on the transportation time, you got to here a lot more of the history and whenever you wanted to go look at something you could just get off and get back on later.

The first place we got off the bus to look at was the Transport Museum. It was very interesting. This picture is of me in the back of a police van in the little cubical where the arrested person sits.


After the transport museum we went across the
street to Kelvingrove. The museum was interesting and the building was beautiful.




There were a couple of joke items. There is no such animal as a "Haggis" however I guess people must ask a lot.
And of course the Whisky bird.


After Kelvingrove we went to the Willow Tea room. It was too late to have tea but we had a look around. They were It was designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh in 1904.



This I saw just walking down the street in Glsgow. I didn't know there was a store named after my father!
