"Cityspots Glasgow" takes you straight to the heart of Scotland's 'friendly city', recently promoted as being 'Scotland with style'. Lively bars, independent boutiques and a rich cultural scene, coupled with the legacy of merchant traders and the Art Nouveau of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, give Glasgow the exact buzz it hoped to achieve when starting out on the path of regeneration. Glasgow highlights include: art and architecture at Mackintosh House, Kelvingrove Art Galleries, Gallery of Modern Art and many more; Glasgow Science Centre (GSC), Scotland's flagship Millennium Project, brings science and technology to life through interactive exhibits; festivals and festivities including the International Comedy Festival, Film Festival and Hogmany; shopping: Princes Square, Buchanan Street, the Argyll Arcade and The Barras; cutting-edge cultural scene with over 200 arts organisations, including Scottish Ballet and Opera; Ibrox stadium, Old firm football rivalries and the Scottish Football Museum; 'The Tall Ship' (s.v.
Glenlee), is the only Clydebuilt sailing ship left in the UK; and, out of town trips include the Clyde Valley, Stirling, Loch Lomond and the Trossachs.
