    Thanks for that! It was nice to see what's been happening in the place of my birth. Nice new businesses, fresh ideas and alongside the beautiful old architecture and historic places of interest. It has always been a buzzing area socially, and I'm glad to see it still is. Made me feel a little bit nostalgic - I haven't been back for over ten years.

    As someone from Glasgow I would recommend a visit to great western road and Byers road. If you get the Subway and get off at Kelvinbridge or Hillhead. Glasgow botanic gardens are across great western road from the start of Byers road. There is also Oran Mor a church converted into a pub and gig venue glad you liked the southside.

      We were extremely lucky with the weather - but I still think that the fun vibe of Southside would shine through even in the more typical wetter weather! (I gotta say the sun was putting everyone we met into such a good mood though! So that was another thing that made us enjoy the city vibe even more than usual!)

    You could do a tour of Glasgow's museums. The Kelvingrove art galleries with Kelvingrove park to have a rest in. The people palace on Glasgow green it has a nice tea house in a massive greenhouse. The museum of religion next to The cathedral with a wee tour of the oldest house in Glasgow that Mary Queen of Scots stay in just next to it. The Transport museum then cross the river on the bridge to the science museum. Lots to see in Glasgow. I almost forgot tenements house a view into what a tenement used to look like. There is the museum of modern art which has the Duke of Wellington statue outside which always has I traffic cone on his head. I love my home city. It is rough around the edges but the people have heart of gold. Glaswegians sound angry to a lot of people but if you ask for directions chances are they will take you to where you are going.

    Used to live in Hillhead, Glasgow, Scotland in early 2000s, Canadian originally and still. Last time in Scotland 2015-16. No Clue about the Southend back then, next time I hope to get there one day and visit the SouthEND NOw. Except I'm on a very small budget for the visit, what is there for camping spots around Glasgow, would that be cheaper then a Hostel? What are the rules for setting up in parks?

      There are some beautiful neighbourhoods on the Southside and a number of them run into one another in a swathe. Pollockshields borders Strathbungo to the east of Queens Park and runs down to Maxwell Park which borders Pollock Country Park to the South. To the West of Pollock Park, on the other side of the motorway, there is the area of Dumbreck which borders Bellahouston Park. Going South of Queens Park / Shawlands you're into areas like Newlands, Cathcart and heading to the city's border with Giffnock. Check out some of these areas on Streetview for a taste of these areas.
