Our last full day in Glasgow & Scotland. We hopped on one of the tour buses to get an overview of the city. Reminiscent of Pittsburgh in many ways – not the best of reputations, but very enjoyable with a cool vibe.
Lots of tourist stuff today – Tenement House, the Glasgow Cathedral, and Paisley Abbey. Unfortunately, Mackintosh’s masterpiece at the Glasgow School of Art is closed due to a tragic fire. Hopefully a restoration is possible. Quite by accident, we locate Glasgows’ first microbrewery, Drygate who’s head brewer is a woman. Mary was able to acquire some local material for a future quilting project. Through the center of town is a pedestrian street with a great street market. While on our walk, Mary spots Mackintoshs famous ‘Willow Tea Room’ so we stop in for a look. Quite interesting.
Dinner at the ‘Two Fat Ladies’ seafood restaurant in the West End. They advertise themselves as ‘seriously fishy’!
