Scotland - Glasgow

Last trip before my exam starts. Planned for a 3 day 2 night trip to Glasgow but didn't really think that Glasgow has enough to occupy me for 3 days, so I believed that I would probably venture to somewhere else on day 2.

Day 1 - Arrived at Glasgow at 11am, cloudy weather. First stop, city center and University of Strathclyde. This university was my first choice for exchange thus I really want to see how it would have been for me there. It turned out to be a disappointment as the campus is kind of old and unappealing, and a few builds are under reconstruction. Headed to Riverside Museum and Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum in the afternoon and I was more or less done with Glasgow?!


It was already dark at 4pm and I travelled back to my hostel for checking in. My mum's ex-classmate came to fetch me at night for a great Asian buffet dinner.

Day 2 - Edinburgh

Day 3 - Woke up almost missing the buffet breakfast. Headed straight to University of Glasgow, which has one of the nicest architectures I have seen among universities.


It started to drizzle as I made my way to the Botanic Garden in the afternoon. Felt a bit bored there and left after a quick walk. It was only 3pm and I realized that I had nowhere else to go and I aimlessly roamed about in the city center. In the end, I left for the airport early and camped almost 3 hours there for my plane...

A day-trip is totally sufficient for Glasgow in my opinion. The next time I'm in Scotland, I will definitely go to Isle of Skye.
