     WELCOME TO GLASGOW
                        
 
              
 
Welcome to the Glasgow section of Bairdstravel .Hopefully we can show you what a wonderful place Glasgow is. Bairdstravel`s founder was born in the Cowcaddens area of the city.We are running walking tours of the city at 17.30 from your hotel. For more details please feel free to contact us.
 
 
               
                             
 
 
The regeneration of Glasgow has focused on the River Clyde and has created iconic structures such as the Armadillo.  Let West end walks show you how the city is changing into one of the most modern places in Europe.
 
          
 
 
Glasgow is one of Europe’s most vibrant and cosmopolitan cities, home to the art nouveau architectural treasures of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, and on the doorstep of Scotland’s glorious countryside. Glasgow is a shopper’s paradise and was voted Britain’s top retail destination in 2007. The main shopping thoroughfare, Buchanan Street, has been voted one of the world’s top retail destinations.                                      
 
 
 
                   
 
The splendor of the Ayrshire coast and Robert Burns country, and Loch Lomond and the Trossachs - the gateway to Scotland’s world-famous Highlands – are less than an hour’s drive from Glasgow.

Glasgow is home to a variety of theatres including The King's Theatre, Theatre Royal and the Citizens Theatre and is home to many municipal museums and art galleries, the most famous being the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, the Gallery of Modern Art (GoMA) and the Burrell Collection. Most of the museums in Glasgow are publicly owned and free to enter.

The city has hosted many exhibitions over the years, including being the UK City of Architecture 1999, European Capital of Culture 1990, National City of Sport 1995–1999 and European Capital of Sport 2003.

In addition, unlike the older and larger Edinburgh Festival (where all Edinburgh's main festivals occur in the last three weeks of August), Glasgow's festivals fill the calendar. Festivals include the Glasgow International Comedy Festival, Glasgow International Jazz Festival, Celtic Connections, Glasgow Film Festival, West End Festival, Merchant City Festival, Glasgay, and the World Pipe Band Championships

WEST END DETAILS
 
Bairdstravel had the pleasure of meeting Pat Bryne for a coffee and a chat.
Pat runs and owns my favourite Glasgow website. She has great knowledge
of the city and I could tell she has  great fondness for the west end .   
 
 
                                                             

 

 Pat's Guide is a community site promoting this brilliant part of Glasgow. Find out what's on locally, learn about the restaurants, shops, pubs, galleries - including the wonderful Kelvingrove - the architecture, people, places and lots more.
 
Pat's guide to Glasgow West End is probably the busiest community
website in the UK (if not the World), with over 3 million hits a month.

successful . For more details  http://playpiepint.com/
