The weather was still hot for our trip to Glasgow – we had decided to visit the Riverside Museum, the museum of transport, which is beside the River Clyde, a half an hour or so’s walk from the main shopping area at Buchanan Street. First though, we revisited the Lighthouse, a little design museum tucked down a lane off Buchanan Street. We’d been before, but I wanted to climb the tower for the views over the city roof tops.

Then, after lunch we headed along the river, past the redeveloped area near the Finnieston Crane and finally got to the museum, which is in a modern Zaha Hadid-designed building on the river. We spent about an hour there, wandering through the exhibits (scary when things you remember from childhood are in a museum!). There were some interesting social history exhibits including one with film footage from Glasgow’s dancehalls in the 1950s – my parents met that way.

So here’s a little bit of Glasgow!
