Edinburgh & Glasgow Weekend

We make our way to Glasgow, nestled on the River Clyde to enjoy the day sightseeing at leisure. The lively and modern city is a cultural hot spot, boasting a wealth of art and culture and the best shopping outside of London, with everything to offer from high street stores and designer labels to speciality outlets for the more unique items. Glasgow is also known for its green spaces, with numerous parks and gardens providing a tranquil escape from the urban hustle. The Glasgow Botanic Gardens and Pollok Country Park are great spots for a leisurely stroll. Be sure to also admire the city’s impressive architecture including Glasgow Tower and the Science Centre, reflecting Glasgow’s cosmopolitan lifestyle perfectly.

We spend the day in magnificent Edinburgh, with its impressive skyline, dominated by Edinburgh Castle. Perched atop Castle Rock, this fortress offers stunning views of the city and houses the Crown Jewels and the Stone of Destiny. Visit the Royal Mile, the atmospheric street that runs through the heart of the Old Town, connecting Edinburgh Castle to the Palace of Holyroodhouse – it's lined with shops, restaurants, and sites. Or take a look inside the National Museum of Scotland, a fascinating museum that showcases Scottish history and culture, with interactive exhibits and artifacts. Whether you spend time in the charming tea rooms or searching the rails of vintage clothes shops in forgotten streets, there is plenty in Edinburgh to suit all tastes.
