*A Scots park that attracts millions of visitors every year has been voted Europe's best.Pollok Country Park in Glasgow beat off competition from five countries to win the coveted award.Situated on the city's southside, the park is home to the Burrell Museum and its renowned art collection. It also boasts Pollok House, the ancestral home of the Maxwell Family - founders of the Forestry Commission and the National Trust.It is the first time a Park from the UK has won the top award.

Glasgow is a vibrant,buzzing cosmopolitan city,with enough shops, museums,historical sites,architecture,concert halls,theatres and performance spaces and sporting events to keep everyone happy.Glasgow is the biggest city in Scotland,and the third most populated city in the UK,with around 2.3 million people living in the conurbation,nearly half of Scotland's total population.Glasgow is one of the friendliest cities in the UK.It will be hosting the 2014 Commonwealth Games,winning over Abuja in Nigeria for the honour.Glasgow was also the European City of Culture in 1990.There's a real difference between all areas of Glasgow, such as the North and South Sides, the East and West ends,the Merchant City and the City Centre,but all have strong threads making them uniquely Glaswegian.

Back at the Airport

We were back. It looked cold and grey through the plane's windows, and I wasn't looking forward to the usual chilly blast that hits you when you hop off the Emirates flight, but this time it wasn't too bad, despite how it looked. We were met by our driver (get us...) and whisked home, although as usual, the traffic on the main motorway, the M8, through Glasgow as grim. My mum met us at our house, and had even collected our cat Sam from the cattery in the morning for us...so sweet and a nic...

WOW what an awesome short trip to scotland. i will be back to this beautiful country. i would like to go more north. i would like to visit the islands, iverness and aberdeen. i sit here in the airport recaping all the things i have seen and experienced.  i would stay in edinburgh next time.  the train and bus system is easy. i got lost the first day but i got the hang of it. i took many pictures of this beautiful country. i would research on a better hostel that is for sure.

So, we shall jus...

May 07, 2007 - Aug 30, 2007
Woke up to bustling and packing.  God, so early already?  Looked over and saw it was 2am, some guy was back from the clubs.  False start.Woke up at a more decent hour, threw my bags into a locker and checked out, heading out towards the east end of Glasgow on my final hours before departing on a bus/ferry combo to Belfast at 4pm.  Walked a long ways (it's so spread out here!), past the bus and train stations, and arrived at the Glasgow Cathedral on Castle St.  Learned...
