20 Things to do in Glasgow, Scotland Travel Guide
Join us for this travel guide to Glasgow, Scotland as we highlight 20 of the best things to do in Glasgow including visiting distilleries, trendy restaurants, hopping pubs, fascinating museums and more attractions.
This is our second time visiting Glasgow, UK and our city guide is a combination of footage from our visit this year and last year. Glasgow has a thriving food scene (both Scottish food and International) and we give you a thorough food tour as we bite our way around the city.
In terms of major attractions Glasgow (Glaschu) doesn't have many iconic places to visit as nearby Edinburgh; however, I feel one of the advantages it has over Edinburgh is that the city is more spread out and each neighborhood has a distinct character.
One of our favorite places to visit was the University of Glasgow which has a campus that would make Harry Potter proud. Whether we were visiting breweries or distilleries or having seafood for lunch or dinner we found no shortage of things to do in Glasgow, Scotland.
Now let's explore Glasgow (Glesga) together!

20 Things to do in Glasgow, Scotland travel guide video transcript:
In today’s video we’re going to be showing you around Glasgow, Scotland. This is a city that we visited last autumn and then again this summer, and on both visits, we ate like kings and queens because it turns out, Glasgow is a great destination for foodies.
Since we never got around to making a travel guide on our first visit, today we’re going to be combining the footage from both of those trips to show you some of the best things to do in Glasgow and also some of the best places to eat and drink it. So let’s get started!
And that’s a wrap for our visit to Glasgow, Scotland. We loved our two visits and we’d gladly return for a 3rd. This is an amazing city for foodies and there are so many great bars, restaurants, breweries, and distilleries to visit.
Also FYI - if you’re already visiting Edinburgh, Glasgow is just a short 50-minute train ride away, and it’s a city with its own unique vibe.
If there are any other fun things to do in Glasgow that you’d like to share with travellers, feel free to leave your suggestions in the comments below. Wishing you happy travels!
This is part of our Travel in Scotland video series showcasing Scottish food, Scottish culture and Scottish cuisine.
We cooperated with Visit Scotland for part of this project.

Scottish Food and Edinburgh city tour in Scotland Travel Food Video Transcript:
There is buddy Rob again. Good morning. So it is our second day in Edinburgh and we are starting things off with more food.
Because if there is one thing we're good at it is eating. But we're doing a little bit of walking to get there so it is the perfect compliment this morning. We can't wait to get started.
So Rob what is the tour about today? The tour is basically about cruising through Edinburgh, seeing some nice sights and trying some classic foods. Alright, let's do that. Maybe there is Haggis on the menu.
Haggis!
The first stop the Itchycoo. Let's go in.
Okay, so the first stop of the tour is at the Itchy Coo and we are going to be having some Haggis for breakfast. Are you ready Sam? And starting off with a Virgin Mary. Decided not to make it bloody because it is like ten AM. A bit early to drink. Oh, that is very good. Okay, now let's try the Haggis down here. And it is on looks like it is on a little cracker which is really cool.
So we had Haggis at the first stop and you boys actually ate all of it.
So they gave us little earpieces so we can hear our guide through the traffic and even if we trail behind a little bit. But I feel like we're channeling some serious FBI vibes down the Royal Mile.
So we've made it to our second stop today. Cranachan & Crowdie. Let's try some of these goodies. Yes, so we're starting off with some venison here. With some Ooft! sauce.
Okay, so I'm going for the orkney smoked cheddar. We're going to dip it in chocolate and this chocolate has whisky so. Oh my. I don't think I've ever had chocolate with whisky before.
So that was Cranachan and Crowdie and they have food, drink and gifts from over three hundred suppliers in Scotland. So if you want to get an authentic gift for a friend or family this is a really cool place.
Right now we are heading inside the Fudge House for a little something sweet. Let's do this. And fudge is one of my favorite foods. Also we're going to learn about tablet I think. How much do you like fudge?
So being the fudge fanatic that I am I am very excited to try this. This if you look down here. This is the Scottish Highland cream. So this is one of the most traditional ones you can try. I'll just pop that in my mouth here.
So as part of the tour we get to choose one bar to take with us and eat along the way. And they have over twenty varieties of fudge here so we're struggling.
So we've been having sweet and savory foods. Now it is time to enjoy some drinks.
So this is your little souvenir. Proud of my little souvenir from Campbeltown Loch Scotch Whisky.
And if we haven't been feasting enough it is time for lunch. We're having Scandinavian Scottish fusion Smorgasbord. Alright, this is Hemma. Are you ready for Scandinavian Scottish. I'm ready.
So how was that meal? The meal was fantastic. My favorite things were actually the herring and beetroot salad and that is saying a lot because there were two other salmon dishes that I really liked.
Now the only problem is we thought that was the last stop so we ate a lot and now we're stuffed and apparently there is still beer and cheese ahead.
And you're trying the Ghost Town and this is from the northwest. So it is a porter and let's give it a shot. And apparently it has a bit of a chili infusion so. Let's see if you can taste that.
I do taste a slight bit of that. It is a porter so it is kind of like a Guinness.
So that is wrap from the Edinburgh eat and walk tour. If you're a foodie and you ever find yourself in the city we highly recommend it. Absolutely.

Glasgow Food - Things You Must Eat in Glasgow | Scotland
Glasgow food scene is quite vibrant. From classic Scottish cuisine to international flavours, you can easily find food that suits your taste buds. In this video, I explore Glasgow food and show you some Glasgow special dishes that you should try when you visit the city.
#glasgow #glasgowfood #glasgow2019
Must Eat in Glasgow
1. Full Scottish Breakfast - Like every breakfast, Scottish breakfast comes with baked beans, eggs and toasts. But, what makes it different as Scottish specialities like black pudding and tattie scone. You can easily find Scottish breakfast all day in most cafes across Glasgow.
2. Deep Fried Haggis - Haggis is the national dish of Scotland and is usually served as a savoury pudding. But in Glasgow, you can easily find a deep fried Haggis that makes this meaty dish tastier. While it might lack in appearance, but it makes up for it in taste. It is easy to find deep fried Haggis in any chip shop in Glasgow.
3. Chicken cooked in Buckfast Sauce - Buckfast is a popular tonic wine in Glasgow. When in the city, you must try a dish that is cooked using this wine. There are only a few places where you can find Buckfast sauce based dishes. My favourite is AGA Mezze Palace on Dundas St. The chef is very sweet and can prepare any dish using Buckfast sauce. In fact, you can also try Grouse sauce and Tennants Sauce.
*Link to AGA Mezze Palace Website - *
4. Macaroni Pie - The thought of pasta in pastry is odd, but if you are in Scotland then even that combination can be yummy. In Glasgow, you must try a cheesy Macaroni Pie. You can easily find a Macaroni Pie at any chip shop or cafe in Glasgow.
Do let me know what are your favourite foods in Glasgow?

Hopefully this will come in handy to anyone considering doing a little day or 2-day trip to Scotland's largest city. There's most deff PLENTY of great food and coffee, plus culture to enjoy when the weather's not the best (which it usually isn't).

We are back on the road and taking a 3 WEEK road trip through England, Scotland and Wales!
This will be a multi-part UK Road Trip series as we drive from London over to Wales, up to Scotland and back down again.
In Part 6 we traveled to Glenfinnan, Scotland to see the real-life Hogwarts Express cross the Glenfinnan Viaduct! Then, we went on a Coo Safari in Scotland’s Highlands! After spotting a few furry Highland cows, we made our way to Edinburgh. There, we went on a Harry Potter walking tour where we visited many places that were instrumental in influencing J.K. Rowling and the Harry Potter books!
In Part 5, we made our way to Scotland for the first time, stopping in Glasgow and ending our video with a cheeky whisky tasting at the Oban Distillery in Oban, Scotland! We tasted and reviewed four Oban whiskeys, including the Oban Little Bay, Oban 14 Year Old, Oban Distiller’s Edition and the Oban Distillery Exclusive Bottling!

How to See the Hogwarts Express, aka Jacobite Train, cross the Glenfinnan Viaduct:
Step 1 – Reference this Google Maps walking route
(Note: there is free parking 200 meters NW of the Glenfinnan Monument Parking lot, where you turn right on A830, but you’ll need to get there early to get a space):
Step 2 – Check the dates & times the Jacobite train runs:
Step 3 – Plan ahead and arrive early!
The train passes the viaduct approximately 30 minutes after departing from Fort William station. The train will pass around 10:45am if departing from Fort William at 10:15am and pass around 3:10pm if leaving Fort William at 2:40pm. The walk from the parking lot will take you 15 to 20 minutes.
Step 4 – Find your favorite spot to view the train
When the train departs Fort William for Mallaig, it will be heading West. We recommend finding a spot on the far left (West) and South of the viaduct to get the best views. You’ll want to give yourself 15 minutes to find your favorite spot before the train arrives.
Step 5 – Capture the moment with photos and videos!
Final advice, plan to arrive at least one hour before the train passes the viaduct to give you plenty of time to secure a parking space, walk to the viaduct and locate your favorite position to watch the train.
