Evening all,

We're going to a wedding near Glasgow over the second Bank Holiday weekend in May (without children, yay!).

We'll be getting up there late on Friday, staying probably in Glasgow on Friday & Saturday nights, going to the actual wedding on the Sunday, and staying the Sunday night at a place called Bishopton, West of Glasgow.

This gives us a day and a bit to amuse ourselves in or around Glasgow (probably with a hire car), and neither of us have been there before. Any suggestions? Nice things to photograph would be a bonus!

Blimey! There must be something worth doing near Glasgow, surely? hehe

Quick bump for the daytime audience.

Some ideas on the Glasgow city site here - http://www.glasgow.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=289...

Can recommend these Museums ( link to more Museums) Kelvingrove Museum & Park ; Hunterian . Hunterian and Kelvingrove are close; also if you go around the back of the Hunterian/University you can see across Glasgow, so nice photo opportunity. Also both buildings are worth picturing.

Drinks/Food - Merchant City is recommended, has plenty of variety all in one place.

Outside Glasgow, drive to Loch Lomond is a nice day trip. or the Falkirk Wheel is well worth a visit.

Could also check Secc to see if anything on of interest.

Also a few more ideas on this PH link in the Scotland forum, could try bumping that one as well.
