24 Hours In Glasgow
So much grass, so little time.
08 . 06 . 15
Glasgow has all the historic charm of a quaint European city with a blend of lush earthiness. Handsome Victorian building lined streets are somewhat misleading in this youth driven city of cool bars, stylish restaurants and hedonistic clubs. The city’s renaissance is perhaps best on display at The River Clyde. Last month during my travels to the men’s shows in Europe I spent 24 hours in Glasgow and got a feel for this raw culture. Here is my photo dairy from the day and some of my picks of what to do when stopping by this endearing city.
