Our best journey (with the piper’s kilt anecdote)
We travelled to Glasgow last summer in July, it was very hot. The hotel was in the
Buchanan Street, an important street in Glasgow. There, we visited the museums and more important places. Also we were shopping in the most exclusive shops like “Burberry”. We bought clothes, accessories and presents for the family. 
We chanced on with a friend and we had lunch in one of the city's best restaurants and we drank coke.
We met nice girls, we made their friends and they introduced us more people, they were very nice.
In the nights we went to took something in nearby pubs, we liked one that called “Joe’s Pub”. It had musical performances that were for new musicians
and groups in the music world.While we went for a walk through a street we met a pipers group, they wore the traditional skirt, called kilt. The music was fine, and was the first time that we listened that type of music. We saw it when started to be windy and a piper’s kilt raised, but we didn’t see anything that we ought not to see.
This was the most interesting, funny and great journey that we did up to now.

The story of a trip
Mary, a spanish girl, writes a letter telling her mum the trip to Glasgow that she has done during this month.
Dear mum:
I arrived to Glasgow after a long and tiring trip by plane. After I went to sleep to the Thistle Hotel because I was very tired.
The first week I was visiting the Glasgow´s city. I went to a lot of places with a tourist guide:
The Burrel Collection, a very interesting art exhibition, and the main square, Georges Square, surrounded by Victorian buildings like the City Chambers.
At that time, I met some scottish teenagers, I had some nices moments with them and I could practice english.
During the second week I was visiting the high streets shopping: Buchanan Street and Prince´s Square; there I was buying souvenirs for the family.
When my friends and I were having lunch in Aurora (a very modern restaurant), I met a very handsome boy, Sam with who I finished my third and fourth week in Glasgow; we went to a beautiful city next there. It has been the best of my trip!!
Dear mum it has been a wonderful month , I come back home tomorrow.

Last summer we were in Glasgow and we were charmed with it. We were with a few friends and saw many things, between them Mackintosh's house, the local derby of Glasgow that gained the Celtic 2-1. Also we buy many things in the most famous streets of Glasgow as the Buchanan street. We visit the museum Hunterian and we liked very much the part of medicine and of Mackintosh. Later we were aver the university of Glasgow and it does not have anything peculiar. Only villain of the trip esque was been very cold and evil time. What we surprised was the great quantity of parks in the city.It was a very nice trip and an unforgettable experience.

An amazing travel to Glasgow
This summer we visited the city of Glasgow.
We stayed at the Marks Hotel in The Bath street 110.
The first day we went to visit the museum of transport, it was very nice and we saw many amazing transport stuff. We were also at the St. George's square Glasgow's and ate at the Strata bar. We visited The People's Place, a museum entertaining and telling the story of the inhabitants of Glasgow, and culture. We went to the Buchanan Galleries mall where we were buying a lot of clothes.
The next day we saw a Regional Scots dance where men and women danced happily in a skirt of green and black boxes…very pretty. Days later we visited the Science Center of Glasgow where we had great fun seeing the world's electricity and then we went to the restaurant to drink a coffee gandolfi. We were in Victoria Park too where we could contemplate green and beautiful plants.
The day before go home, we were to the Buchanan street to buy gifts for our family and friends and then we returned to the hotel to rest and collect our suitcase because the next day we expected a long and heavy travel back to Spain.

Glasgow nights parties
We come there after long hours in that ship.
The first thing that we did was to buy a guide of glasgow to find out about the places of interest. The first days we got lost for those enormous avenues replete with shops and with people that in her they was buying. One evening we stop in a tavern that they were televising the old firm match that according to those of the place was an important match. Since we did not like the football we drank good beer.
On having stopped drinking the waiter said to us that prompt will be a great concert in glasgow said to us that shell us income of retail smuggling I boast. We agree and to two days already we was ready to listen to such a The Twilight Sad. It was a spectacular concert we are charmed with me. This night we will not forget easily. On the following morning we visit the Hunterian Museum. We saw fantastic things as a fossil of tree, cleopatra's currency and a great hung trout of the roof (it was the best thing).Ultimately our visit to glasgow was wonderfull. We learned a lot of this great city. I recommend to everything that wants to happen a funny month.

An amazing trip to Glasgow
Last Summer , we went to Glasgow and we spent a whole month there...
When we arrive in our hotel ,"The Belhaven",we were very surprised, the building was a beautiful victorian house, it was very little only 16 rooms but It was very nice.
We wanted to visit every cultural place in glasgow so we visited the cathedral, where is buried San Mungo, this tomb was one of the areas of peregrination of the Middle Ages.
We also saw many museums of this city like the Hunterian Museum and Hunterian Art Gallery,Burrel collection, where we saw pictures of painters as important as Renoir and Cezane, The Museum of the Transport, a museum that seemed to us very curious because it reproduces a typical street of the city of the 30s,The Museum McLean: A museum centred on the social history of Glasgow, the gallery of modern art,and the Lighthouse.
We also were interested in Mackintosh's works, we visited almost all his buildings, but the one that we liked most was The Willow tea room, where we have a tea.
We visited the Art School of Glasgow and the Science Museum where there was a cinema IMAX to see movies in 3D.
We went shopping in the city, It has a lots of big avenues and important malls, as Buchanan Galleries, Italian Centre, Princes Square and the St Enoch Centres.
These places are near of bars, where after buying we could relax and take a coffee.
In the West-End, there are incredible antique shops, places of crafts and old bookshops, for those who want to take something more original , as a present for my mother.
The local gastronomy of Glasgow is very good.
You can enjoy from delicious seafood, meats of hunt, vegetables, the pies of cow meat, the cheese of the Islands Orkneys, and the bannocks, cakes of oats.
To taste all these food, it is ideal Rab Ha's ,one of the most popular restaurant, in the ancient neighborhood of Glasgow, where they specialize themselves in the traditional Scotishfood.
Walking for the downtown,we discover a very curious bar, The Drum and Monkey, ideally if you have curiosity to tasteone of the tens tries beers that have in the menu.
A part of this bar we saw that in this city there are plenty of nightclubs in the heart of the West End .
At the end, Our impression of Glasgow is that is a very nice city , We loved it a lot, and we think that everybody have to visit it!!

My EXCITED TRIP TO GLASGOW
I was in glasgow in August last year, in the hilton hotel glasgow at five stars. I have been visiting many places including the museum GALLERY OF MODERN ART this Gallery shows some fine examples of figurative art Scots, but also has a collection of all parts of the world. We also visited some of the most important commercial streets of glasgow: as buchanan street glasgow, princes square and I was in shops like diesel gant, gap ... Buying souvenirs for the family. As I had to go out to eat and party at night I found the best bars and restaurants in downtown glsgow as: Bar Soba, collage, strata, waxy o'connor's. Everything was very good, an anecdota of this trip was that in the bar SOBA I got drunk and I didn´t take my car. The last day I went to see OLD FIRM already know the football derbi between CELTIC AND RANGERS. It won the CELTIC 1-0.My stay was very confortable, I was treated very well so expensive repeat the year. The coming year attempts to go with my family and some friends.
GOOD BYE

The Perfect Trip To Glasgow ---=>by Sergio
On a trip to Glasgow can do many things like: Go to the stadium Celtics, buy in the shops of the most important streets of the city, visit the Hunterian Museum and admire the works that have been so beautiful or milleones of things.
They can drink tea more flavorful of the two "coffees" tea most famous Glasgow. One is located in the west of Glasgow called Room Restaurant and the other is located in the centre of Glasgow called Willow Tea Room in Sauchiehall Street in the central area of the city of Glasgow.
To eat, you can go to try different foods and foods of Spain, the Mediterranean or meals so esquisitas Scotland. For lunch Spanish informing them and recommend two restaurants and I Barca Tapas Cafe Andaluz. As for the Mediterranean food they inform on the Cafe Noir or Stazione and food escocésa inform them about five restaurants. The 16 Byres Road in the west of Glasgow; The 29-The Grill Room at The Plaza, 78 St. Vincent and the Aurora Arisais particularly in the downtown area of Glasgow. They also recommend the bars and restaurants that come to many people. Soba Collage, Strata, and Tapaell'Ya Waxy O'Connor and the latter like the rest, is highly organized and there was a large agglomeration of people
You can visit the Mackintosh Society or any of its attractions as can be: The Hill House, The Mackintosh House, The Willow Tea Rooms, and more, which are exposed on the street or in the places that they indicate there.
The field of the Celtic Glasgow is a place that can not be missed, with dimesiones is so great that it is one of the most beautiful areas there. And if they are lucky, they can go to one of their parties, which undoubtedly the "sportsmanship" and the fun are guaranteed.
And if a specific mode of transportation you can go fast in the Metro, or whether those tired of this traffic means of transport will solve the problems
That if a trip to Glasgow is not a trip, but his visits University. Its architectural forms and which is constructed is a true work of art, besides rises to the Tower of Glasgow has magnificent views
