    As someone from England who married a weegie it's actually really good to hear your point of view. Lived in Glasgow for 8 years now. Feel so calm and chilled here, Scotland and Glasgow gripped my soul. Lived all over the world, Glasgow is the first place that's felt like home. Due to the place and the people.

    I absolutely love seeing my home town through the eyes of a new visitor. It's all too easy to shut Glasgow down with the misconceptions of times past and I'm glad these are now actually a thing of the past. Yes, behind the scenes there are the rough area's etc but every city has this. Glasgow is a great city, full of vibrant people, amazing architecture, great food and lots to do. You can jam pack your itinerary or relax and meander and you'll love it regardless. Great video!! Really enjoyed it. Cheers

    Hi Phoebe, by sheer chance I'm the 1000th person to like this vlog. I was born in Glasgow in 1952 then moved to London in 1954. Thirty years later, in 1984, I brought my wife and two kids home. Not to Glasgow but to Dunblane. Forty years on, I'm a widower of 32 years but have a daughter and two granddaughters in London, and a son and latest granddaughter (2 months) in Auckland New Zealand.
    People often associate Glasgow with negative energy because of its not too distant past. My experience of the city and its people is the same as yours. As soon as step off the platform at Queen Street and into George Square I get a buzz. It's a physical thing and very hard to describe. The Uni, Ashton Lane, Botanic Gardens, Merchant City, and Cathedral all seem to either calm or energise. Sometimes both.
    I shed a tear watching your Edinburgh episode as you explained about your late gramps. I'm sure part of the energy you felt is part of him. Hope Inverness is good for you and thank you for a wonderful channel. I'm subscribing now. X

      Pa would love Glasgow, he didn't get a chance to come visit, cancer made it difficult for him to leave home. In fact, he would love Scotland, the people, history and natural beauty is glorious there! My partner and I often come back for a visit, this time with Pa in spirit.
      Wishing you and yours well and thriving!

    I come from Glasgow and the people here tend to have humour that revolves around self-deprecation. It's easy for a lot of Glaswegians to not recommend their city or say bad stuff about it, purely because it's so common to do so. I am sure the guy loves Glasgow really, but doesn't really think anyone not born here would. But of course, that's wrong. I'm glad you enjoyed yourself, it really is a one of a kind city.

    Edinburgh is the glamourous sister that everyone thinks is stunning and automatically drawn to their obvious beauty. Glasgow is the quieter less glam sister that once you get to know her, she'll give the best hugs, you'll have the best laugh with and want to get to know better.

    Hi From Scotland. Came across your channel. I was born in Glasgow and lived there for a very long time. Now out in the countryside in Scotland. Glasgow people are friendly, good sense of humour and very kind. We enjoy meeting people and I am glad you had a great experience here. It is a busy city but defo has a fibe. I love Edinburgh and Glasgow but Edinburgh is way more expensive. ❤

    8:16 Just FYI, a 99 is something that traditional Scottish ice cream vans have sold for as long as I can remember. The ice cream vans that drive around the housing estates sold an ice cream cone that contained a Cadbury’s “Flake” and raspberry sauce. It was called a 99 because it cost 99p back in the day before everything was so expensive! Glad you enjoyed your trip here.

    Hi again. You proved me wrong to an extent as well. I have been in Glasgow a few times, the last being a few months ago and it has never been my favourite place. I have missed out on a fair bit of what you have seen however. The Botanic Gardens looks amazing. I have had a number of odd experiences there too. What I do love about the place is The Barrowlands. It's an amazing concert venue - very authentic. I'm over again next year, so I may well book my flight over for a bit earlier to see some sights I have missed out on. I'm really looking forward to the Edinburgh video. For me it's one of the world's great cities.

    Interested to see because you're hitting the "expected" spots of the Highlands and Edinburgh next, but for me Glasgow is Scotland's hidden gem. It's a very down to earth and friendly city that embraces it's industrial past. The Riverside Museum is one of my favourites to visit (also free!) and house the museum of transport. Public transport is great too, lots of trains and one of the world's oldest subways that has barely changed since it was built. Also great for cycling, lots of paths and routes that take in the sights and spotting the many locations used in movies.

    99’s. A very British ice cream phenomenon. Normally a scoop of ice cream on a cone, with the flake stuck on to the scoop.

    Hey! Loved your video! Glasgow is my home city and I love it. That guy you met is almost certainly from Edinburgh! 🤣 Edinburgh is a beautiful city and I'm sure you will enjoy it there, but Glasgow is definitely the friendly city. As you said it's a great place to visit on a wet day (which we get plenty of 😉) as many great (free) places of interest to visit indoors. You went to some of my favourite places. I love the museum and art galleries, the botanic gardens, Ashton lane, ...
    Hope you really enjoy the remainder of your time in Scotland. 😊😊

You could walk about all night finding really good ones.. we have a couple of comedy clubs if your looking for a laugh and we have several brilliant concert venues including The 02 suchihall street and the O2 academy other side of town. Also the garage a smaller venue but some really good bands .. I think you deserve a week in Glasgow to really see just a bit of it 💚

The way you feel at ease in Glasgow is how I feel when I go to London every year. And I felt so at ease in Australia as well. It’s a whole different vibe compared to my home in The Netherlands. That cone on the statue cranked me up 😂. Let your feelings go, don’t hold it in, we’re all human and we will understand. Your hotel looks perfect and seems to be made for solo travelers.
