Tourist Information

Glasgow has a wealth of tourist attractions you may wish to visit during your stay. Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum was recently restored to its original Victorian splendour, and redisplayed to startling effect, making it Scotland’s most visited attraction and a ‘must-see’ on any trip to Glasgow. The Glasgow School of Art is regarded as one of Charles Rennie Mackintosh's architectural masterpieces and the Museum of Transport has an outstanding collection of vehicles and models. On the doorstep of Glasgow, romantic Loch Lomond’s stunning scenery, full of legend and folklore is the UK’s largest freshwater loch (pictured bottom right). Glasgow Cathedral, the Burrell Collection, Gallery of Modern Art (pictured right), Tall Ship at Glasgow Harbour and The Lighthouse are just a taster of all there is to see and do in Glasgow and the rest of Scotland.
