We're in Glasgow, Scotland! We're exploring this amazing city in the UK. Starting out at the historic Glasgow Cathedral and Necropolis. We try some traditional Scottish food from a Chippie (Scotch Pie and deep fried Mars bar). We also visit the oldest pub in Glasgow called Scotia Bar. Later in the video we head to the trendy area of Glasgow, the West End where we try some local beer at Bookclub and walk along Ashton Lane.

My husband’s office is in the west end (ooooh I spent many a night crawling out of Vodka Wodka in Ashton Lane!) and to answer your question about house prices… our house is a 40min drive from Glasgow and it’s a 3 bed, 2 bathroom, 2 lounges, and a separate office space and utility room detached house and he paid £200k for it in 2006. Meanwhile his boss, at the same time, paid in the region of 300k for an upper 1 bed, 1 bathroom apartment in the west end. 😬😬😬😬
I live in Glasgow, Scotland. I thank you both for being kind and upbeat about our food and culture. You're doing a great job. Love, Dee. We call ourselves Glaswegians OR Wegies! Lol
Indeed, for me the deep fried Mars Bar was an urban myth which became fact, ie chip shops decided ''we can do that'', however I've never met anyone who ordered one.
Fun fact- Scottish folk don’t eat deep fried Mars bars. Just tourists ;)
I was about to say this exact thing. It was a gimmick and only tourists ask for it lol
@@papalaz4444244Its the worst thing. Proper sea food from the west coast is the best 🏴
I must admit, I have tried 2, both times I was steamin'.
I have certainly never tried one. They look rank.
My Scottish friends eat deep fried anything a LOT
As a Glesga resident thought I’d watch your vlog, enjoyed it and first time to see someone eating a pie with a fork!
Haha… we’ll they gave us a fork to eat it! 🤷🏻♀️- Anna
Lived in Glasgow my whole life never had a deep fried mars bar. Great video guys
Watching this as a Glaswegian was enlightening stuff that we walk past everyday and basically ignore (like the big murals!) is so amazing when you see it through fresh eyes!
I love the necropolis its so full of amazing history great to see it showcased!
And the west end is one of the most expensive areas of the city for anything!
I was born in Glasgow, 1948, behind the Royal Infirmary in a large Slum Tenement triangle of Alexandra Parade, Wishart St and James Orr St, most of which was pulled down decades ago for the extension of the Royal Infirmary and the only green grass I ever knew was the grass in the Cemetery you visited that's part of the Glasgow Cathedral and to this day when I smell that freshly cut grass smell it gives me flashbacks of when we used stand up on the Tombstones and fall into the large piles of fresh cut grass... I left there in 1966, never lived there again.
Your video made me homesick but I loved it 😊 I used to work at Strathclyde University for a few years before I immigrated to Australia. So happy you picked up the great Glasgow vibe - she can be a bit rough around the edges but I just love the atmosphere and hanging out listening to the bag pipers. Happy travels
I'm glad we got the 'local' stamp of approval on the vibe! 🤗 - Anna
How’s Australia? ..Fellow Glaswegian here ready for decent weather..
@@NIRVANAmat weather is beautiful at the moment just coming into summer anywhere from 25 to 30 in brissy at the moment. A bit dry though can you bring some rain with you 😃
Welcome back to Scotland! As someone from Glasgow/Ayrshire, thank you for sharing the cemetery, it is a beautiful place with such history. Enoy your trip guys
We’re glad to be back! That cemetery is incredible - Anna
It's the necropolis and how do you manage to come from 2 places 30 miles apart?
Fantastic video, you went to my favourite little street in the west end. Have to agree, Glasgow is more ‘real’ than Edinburgh and often gets overlooked. It too has some amazing architecture and great people. Thanks for sharing
We so luv the west end! - Anna
I guarantee that you're talkin about Ashton fuckin Lane..
As a Glaswegian this really warmed my heart.
You showed parts of my city that most people who visit don’t and with such enthusiasm too.
I love just 10 mins from the West end and yes it’s a cool area, Great at night especially.
And amazing how it sticks out from your mind after all these years.
You’re more than welcome back anytime, Thank you for the video 🏴🥰
IKR?!
Scotland is on my list of countries to visit. My paternal ancestors came from the West Lothian region. 😊
You will luv it! 🤗 - Anna
West Lothian is Livingston way Edinburgh
@@williammcginney4777 Yep! I grew up in the West Lothian region, in a farming community in a tiny village called Salsburgh. I moved to Glasgow about 20 years ago but u canny take the country out of a girl! Lol.
Such a great video thank you for showcasing Glasgow! 🏴
Welcome back to Scotland! I was in that country back in October 2001, literally just weeks after 9/11. So beautiful and serene and everyone was so kind to those from the USA. Never made it to Glasgow though. So this was a great video to watch for my eventual return.
So glad you enjoyed the video and we hope you can make it there soon 🤗 - Anna
Hi guys, I'm a Glaswegian from the posh West End and Hillhead Book Club was a cinema for many years. You can still see where the screen was and the balconies. Glad you enjoy my city.
So good to know!
The Salon Cinema...was one of my favourites. It was the oldest still operating cinema in Glasgow before its demise in the 1990's - which was achieved in some highly suspicious circumstances. Campaign was ongoing to restore and maintain it as Glasgow's oldest operating cinema, but on turning up for work one day in 1992 staff found themselves locked out with no warning or notice. The cinema seating was ripped out one night (so it could not be used again as a cinema). It lay derelict for several years until converted into a restaurant, against strong public opinion. The loss of the beautiful, historic early cinema features is greatly mourned.
@@lorrainehamilton5051 sadly I believe just about every transaction in Glasgow is dodgy. George Square is a den of iniquity imo, no matter who's in charge. I truly don't believe anyone with any influence believes this is a city worth fighting for. It should be possible to create a new future without deliberately trashing the past. Sad.
Well done Delightful. Some great glasgow highlights.
Welcome back to Scotland hope both had a ball in your time here 👍
Scotland is so amazing! We enjoy seeing that cathedral / 5 Star Episode!! 🧙♂🦄🏰✨🌈
And... We give the city 5 stars 🤗- Anna
Great fun video as always 😊 glad your enjoying the uk xxx
Thanks so much Helen! - Trevor
Great video! I loved seeing the street art, the cathedral looked beautiful and the cemetery was picturesque 🪦🙂.
Glad you enjoyed it Colleen 🤗 - Anna
I actually live near the necropolis and regularly go for walks there. Enjoyed seeing from your perspective. Greetings from Glasgow 😀
Great video, always a pleasure to share your travels, even in a cemetery! 😁…they fascinate me too and remind us all to get out there and enjoy life (Including the occasional deep fried Mars Bar!) 🤗
haha luv it! Go get your fried Mars Bar Helen 😋 - Trevor
Great vlog...All my grandparents hailed from Scotland in towns surrounding Glasgow....I visited Glasgow over 20 years ago the Cathedral was a highlight visited the crypts beneath the Cathedral ....have to go back and revisit
It really is such an amazing city right? We had so much fun exploring 🤗 - Anna
Another Awesome Adventure Trevor & Anna 🙂Watching from New Brunswick CANADA🙂
Cheers Robert! How'd you make out with the storm? - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers It was pretty wild outdoors. I did not lose power but other areas did. I have not been outdoors yet to asses the damage like trees down and other things. We got a lot of heavy rain and strong wind.
Glasgow who knew?? WOW! Great video guys! New Scotland never knew this…love the west end, and I’ve got to try a gluten free beer now. Thanks for showing us around this beautiful city! ~Cara 😊
Glasgow is so made for you guys! 🤗 The beer was surprisingly good as well. You'd never know it's gluten free - Anna
This city!!my first love
Love cemeteries so peaceful
West end is ridiculously expensive. I would recommend Shawlands, its got some great little bars and cafe's and good train links to the city and taxis are cheap as well. Taxi drivers here are always happy to give their opinion and advice, even when you don't ask for it! My favourite city I have ever been to, lived here a year and wish I could go back. Great video.
We’ll be sure to look that up! Thanks for tips 🤗 - Anna
SO GREAT TY !!!
🤙
Thank you for a lovely video, welcome back! Glaswegian is totally correct! Walking tours of the Necropolis are a great way to hear the stories,see the graves of some very famous people and not so famous buried there, it also sits beside Glasgow Royal Infirmary (hospital) which has a famous history itself including surgeon Joseph Lister’s development and introduction of antiseptic practices in the 1860’s which saved many a life. Great wee hour or two can be spent covering the cathedral, necropolis and other landmarks in that square mile. Another way is the local double decker city tour bus, ideal if your not a great walker, there is also one that serves afternoon tea along the way 😁. Glasgow has such history and an abundance of great places to visit in close proximity to each other for all ages, come and visit us you’ll be given a great welcome. 🥰
SCOTLAND FOREVERRRRR !!!!!
The drygate brewery is just down from the necropolis
We will be in Glasgow in 3 weeks, and only for 1 night before we head north to Inverness. Our plan is to just walk around and see the Cathedral, necropolis, and areas. Your video is getting us more excited. Cannot wait.
We so wanted to get up to Inverness, let us know it goes up there 😀 You'll luv Glasgow! - Trevor
Can't wait to go! We're going with my mom for her first trip ever, doing a tour of the UK and going a few days in Scotland, will do Glasgow and Edinburgh, very excited ! Will try loads of Vegan food and spots
the bookclub was a picture house i remember it from the 70ts it was called the salon
Glad you loved glasgow, not sure if you were aware but Glasgow was once the 2nd city of them empire, only behind London
Hello from Scotland 🏴. Glad you enjoyed exploring Glasgow. My granny used to have what you would call an apartment just off Great Western Rd which is in the West End. Sadly it was demolished in the 70s so the M8 (the main motorway in and out of Glasgow) could be built. Haste ye back
Great video, we are heading there in April. 🤙
Hope you enjoy it!
Love this video, im not glaswegian for another few years but i love this city too
🤗
The Bookclub used to be the Salon cinema.
It was in use from 1913 to 1992.
I remember the Salon Cinema . It was very nice . I miss Glasgow so much . All that warmth and style .
Welcome to Scotland guys! I'm from Edinburgh, so hopefully you make it through here. I recommend taking the tram to Newhaven and eating at one of the restaurants at the harbour. Cheers!
We'll look that place up and we're beyond excited to be here 🤗 - Anna
As a Glaswegian I thank you for filming the City I love and, you are correct, as people from the city are Glaswegians and “Weegie” is a term of endearment😀what always amazes me is the number of people in the City who have never seen some of the places you highlight such as the Glasgow Necropolis or The Cathedral. Also you will find some of the finest architecture in Europe within the City such as the City Chambers which has been used for a few Holywood movies with the Cathedral and Necropolis used for filming Batman and Batgirl and the recent Indiana Jones movie was filmed in the City Centre. I was glad you both enjoyed your time in Glasgow and hope that it won’t be too long before you return😀
🥰
I would disagree that Weegie is always a term of endearment , it tends to be used by snobby people to describe the lower class Glaswegians , so amongst friends no problem , but I would avoid telling visitors to call people Weegies , it might backfire on them .
"Weegie is a slang term referring to people from Glasgow in Scotland, It is a contraction of the word Glaswegian, referring to people from Glasgow.
An informal and, to some, insulting term in Scotland."
Best to visit Glasgow during Open Doors Days ,you get much more access to historic and interesting buildings.
I don’t know anyone who says ‘weegie’, apart from Jimmy Krankie.
Weegies make the best Zombies as well! 😂 (WWZ)
Not sure you're aware but the place where you sat to eat your pie and mars bar is where they used to execute people. The tall tower un the middle of the road is the Tollbooth which used to house prisoners. The other tower with the clock is the Tron theatre because that area is known as the Trongate.
I love the cemitery and love Trevor's new hairstyle
😎🙏
Hey guys love the video, what surprised me the most was how similar Ashton lane looked just like a street in Pico Azores. I checked your videos playlists looks like you haven't been to any of the Azores islands. Give them try! 😁 Hope to meet you guys in DR come November 💕
We’d luv to make it to the Azores at some point. It’s high on our list 🤗 - Anna
So nice!!
🤗
WooHoo, I'm so excited to see you in Scotland! My maternal family name is Crawford. The surname came from the place name of Crawford in the upper ward of Clydesdale in Lanarkshire. Tradition has it that a Sir George Crawford saved King David I from a wild stag in the park of Holyrood Abbey in 1127.
❤Have a fabulous, happy, healthy adventure. Oh how I love and appreciate your video's, one of my favourite UA-cam channels! Much love Anna and Trevor. xo xo
Thanks so much .. we appreciate the kind words - Anna
the cathedral was also used in the tv show Outlander from a local Scottish lass. I stay 15 minutes from Glasgow and an hour away from Scotlands capital city Edinburgh. I’m a Scot born and bred.. I hope you enjoy your vacation and haste ye back. Alba Gu Braith 🏴😘
Glesga keelie used to be the term. Weegie used by citizens of Edinburgh, or 'Embra' as keelies would say.
I enjoy old cemeteries too. If you read the old headstones you can learn quite a bit of social history.
You walked past the Britannia Panopticon (old musical hall where Stan Laurel first performed) and it's definitely worth a visit next time. Oh and please check the Glasgow City Chambers free tour (more marble than the Vatican). The architecture in Glasgow is better the higher up you look on the buildings.
Yeah, the Panopticon is interesting, from back in the day. 2nd city in the Empire!
Where you were eating your pie ( always mutton) is a disused railway, supposedly just left station and all.
I live in the westend and you will probably find a place for 1 bedroom for about £700-£800 a month, 2 bedroom, you can expect to be looking around 800-1500 a month. of course tendhis is in the nicer part of the westend, you might find slightly cheaper outside the popular westend areas
Good morning All happy Sunday morning and I loved your vlogs and you all amazing Supporter
Hi Edward! Have a great weekend and thanks for being a member 🤙- Trevor
@DelightfulTravellers your welcome sending you hugs for all of you 🤗
Just pick up the pie & eat it. Lots of memories of having a pie covered in sauce after rugby training. As well as the meat it’s spiced with mace, nutmeg, and white pepper.
Hi and thanks for visiting our city, in glad you seemed to enjoy yourself. It's interesting that you're from Nova Scotia and in sure you know that it got it's name due to the amount of Scots that went there for a better life. There are Still many Scottish ex pats in Canada, especially Nova Scotia. I'm sure somewhere within your ancestry, you got a bit of Scots in you..
I know it must be hard for you guys to cover everywhere in the places you travel to, you've missed so much in Glasgow still, so hopefully we'll see you guys again, don't wait 8 years though lol 🏴
Come back to Liverpool to check out the cathedral(s) here, if you didnt manage it on your day visit. It's fab!
Noted for next time! 😀 - Trevor
Across the road from Ashton Lane are the quirky shops in Ruthven Lane . A bad miss if you don't visit both .
I'm glad l ate a cookie before your deep fried candy bar!
😅
Glasgow Cathedral is where is had my University Graduation Ceremony 20 years ago 😮
i used to o to the book club when it was the salon cinema
I find Cemetaries fascinating!!
Same!
Go across the river to Ibrox/Cessnock/Kinning Park if you want to rent a place at a decent price but still be close to the city centre and the west end next time you visit. Just be aware that on match days it will get busy.
Loved this video! Glasgow is very underrated, especially by youtubers who prefer to visit Edinburgh cos it's prettier. You are so right about the river Clyde being underused in Glasgow, I wish it was used more. The last time I was in the Scotia I sat exactly where Trevor did! I am not a fan of Tennants though! Next time you're in Glasgow I would recommend visiting the West Brewery at Glasgow Green. The West End is increasingly expensive to stay in, both for locals and tourists, so you might be better finding a place outside of the city and getting the bus or train in.
West Brewery is outstanding. Tasty food and great brews. Went there a few times while working in Glasgow. As an American I found their toilet set up a bit amusing. Glasgow Green is amazing.
The Bagpipes school is in Glasgow
Necropolis and Royal Infirmary was in "The Batman" and George Square was most recently in "The Flash" opening scene with Ben's Batman.
If you ever return to Glasgow, you or anyone watching should try the doughnuts at ‘tantrum doughnuts’ in the city centre (near the train station).
Fortunate as an American to work in Glasgow for four months. Great city. Spot on comment in video about difference between Glasgow and Edinburgh. Stayed almost next door to the Scotia bar. Bar is so old that the street has risen over the many years. Door to the bar is a bit low! The bar across the street has a mural of Alex Harvey. If you are a Scot you know all about the Sensational Alex Harvey Band
To this day I still don’t know of a single fellow Scot who has ever eaten a deep fried mars bar. Im sure there’s many of them. Somewhere.
I'm a Glaswegian expat but I think that those amazing bars they were in are actually old bank buildings
They had loads of dosh so the buildings were tremendous. It's good that they're being used for fun .
I have 2 loves in my life 01 my wife 2nd Glasgow Scotland ❤
Great video, guys. It has made me a little homesick living up north now. Try Aberdeen one time if you haven't already!
Not that I look for it, but I haven't seen anywhere (other than Edinburgh - for the tourists) selling a deep-fried Mars bar! As a Glasweigan, it's definitely a cringe point for us (sorry).
Thanks for the tips! - Trevor
The West end of Glasgow is indeed the most prosperous part of the city with house and rent prices much higher than other areas. Incidentally western areas of many UK cities are the same with the theory being they suffered less from the smog and pollution associated with 19th Century industrial towns as for most of the time the prevailing winds come from the West.
The pipers were probably there cause the world pipe band championship takes place in august every year
I’m a weegie ❤🏴
Did you find any surprise similarities between Nova Scotia and Scotland? That pie looked great! I think mutton is sheep that is over a year old, if you eat them younger, they taste better!
2:56, a 2 minute walk from my flat
I love Weegieland, definitely the best city in the UK, and most Glaswegians are the friendliest most genuine people ❤
Guys. The building, which houses the Book Club, was originally a cinema. Went there as a child. I'm glad you enjoyed your visit.
Oh so cool! Thanks for letting us know that. What a great building! - Trevor
I remember it well, it was called The Salon.
Yep saw Grease in the Salon 👍
I saw my first ever cinema film there, Disney’s The Black Cauldron in 1985. Don’t think the cinema survived much past that.
@@johnmcdonald7339 That makes me feel old!
We also have deep fried ice cream and Colin the caterpillar cake!!!!
My home city! Glasgow Necropolis is in The Batman. I think it was towards the end of the movie
Glasgow City Region has nearly 2 Million People in it, try to explore the Southside of the City, Pollok Park has the World reknowned Burrell collection and the Pollok House Museum and the Park itself is magnificent, also Shawlands is the West End of the Southside, just saying, but glad you enjoyed my City and People. 😊🇬🇧👍😎
The Batman was filmed at the Glasgow Necropolis
Did you get a new camera ? Your video is so clear.
👍🌻🇨🇦🇨🇦🥰great video 🌞
🤗
You won't be surprised to know that the Necropolis behind the cathedral was used in the movie The Batman made just before the pandemic with Glasgow doubling for Gotham City. Worth seeing the James McAvoy interview with Stephen Colbert on UA-cam marked James McAvoy is Scottish in his personal life for more on the term "Glaswegian" The deep fried mars bar is a bit of a cliche but it's a talking point. Good video guys.
Such a cool fact! We didn't know that - Trevor
@@DelightfulTravellers See also the current Indiana Jones film..Glasgow doubles for New York 1969 and is also featured doubling for Gotham City and Central City in the Flash movie. See it also in World War Z with Brad Pitt as Philadelphia and Moscow in the recent Tetris movie. Really growing now as a movie location. 👍🏴🎬🎥
Deep Fried mars bars are Scottish? Nice of them to spread that tradition to any number of Midwestern state fairs....come to the Minnesota State fair next year and try all sorts of wonderful deepfried treats!
Mmmm sounds like a delicious fair 🤤- Trevor
I have never seen a fried marsbar! A former schemie now in the Westend
Loadsa Scots went to Canada 🇨🇦 like the Irish went to the States - some Scots went to the USA but far more went to Canada. It's expensive in the Westend depending on what part.. the city centre will probably be dearer.
Fun fact...The Batman filmed its closing scenes in the acropolis..its an incredible cemetery ❤😂
Thanks for saying Glasgow properly. Too many Americans say it wrong.. I know you guys are from Canada though :) heads up! Edinburgh, it’s said like “Ed-in-brah”. You guys were so close to passing the test as well haha! Oh well, next time.
The Clydeside bit you walked down with the bridge, bike lane etc.. that part can be a little dangerous to walk sometimes. Particularly at night. Lots of junkies. Maybe watch out for that!
Few wee other things I can think of are..
Deep fried mars bar! Again, someone else sent it; but it’s not really a local thing. It’s a tourist thing.
West end = very expensive to live. Hipsters galore.
Glaswegians is the correct term, not an insult when shortened :) (I’m Glaswegian).
Lastly it was cool to hear you guys talking about authenticity. Glasgow truly is more local associated and it’s nice to hear an outsider’s perspective. Particularly when it’s casting new light on things you’ve seen every day.
So thanks! :)
showing much more respect for Glasgow city centre than most of the local neds and Rangers and Celtic apes.
Never eaten a deep fried Mars Bar and don't know any fellow Scots who have.
Every carnival and fair in US sells fried candy bars and cookies. Fried Snickers bars are Godly, for sure.
I left Scotland 45 years ago and am finally goan' back in June for 2 weeks❤❤❤
Where you were standing eating the scotch pie was the place where everyone went to, to get hanged that’s why it’s called the gallowgate.
Tennent's lager is brewed a stone's throw away from the Necropolis, as is Drygate!
if you had been here in the 1950s and 60s, you would have seen the clyde packed with all kinds of ships from every part of the world, as well as loads of shipyards
Glasgow Necropolis was recently used as a filming location for the latest Batman movie, as well as other parts of Glasgow, cause Glasgow kinda looks like Gotham City.
The clyde once built a quarter of the worlds ships.
Aye, and we have the Old Queen sitting in Long Beach. She was a sorry sight three years ago through pure neglect. Happy so say she is getting a face lift, I stayed in that thing three years ago and yes it is haunted. My daughter and I had a scary experience on one of the elevators. It would not go to the floor we wanted it to go, we ended up in the bowel s of the ship and when the door opened a man was standing there demanding to know why we were there, the scariest person I have ever seen in my life. That elevator had a mind of it's own, we went up and and down four times complete with suitcases before it finally stopped at the floor we were supposed to be on. Never went on that thing again,
The Clyde side isn’t utilised properly, not the same way as maybe the Thames in London is
Edinburgh is definitely more pretty, but I think Glasgow wins out. As you say, it’s less touristy, but has so much of interest, and most of the museums have free entry! There are some brilliant cafes too. Try out some of the ice cream parlours, founded by Italian immigrants.
We went to so many great cafes. The food is also top notch all around. We don't want to leave 😀- Trevor
St Valentine is buried in the necropolis
