Food and patter make up most of Glasgow’s culture, but one can’t miss taking a trip to Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum when visiting the city!

With its red sandstone and Spanish baroque style, this gem located right by Kelvingrove park is quite hard to miss!

Through paintings, models and photographs, the museum shows the harbour’s fascinating story, which, from shipping to fishing to offshore oil industries, spans over 900 years. Better yet!
