May 9-12, 2019
Our weather in Glasgow was the exact opposite of Edinburgh, warm and blue skies. We visited Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, a large museum full of anything you can imagine. We did a free walking tour - Glasgow Gander Walking Tour. This was a really good tour, one of the best we have been on. We also went to the Glasgow Botanic Gardens. In addition to very nice outdoor gardens, they have two large glasshouses.
