Glasgow is simple to reach by all different types of travel, served by 2 international airports, Glasgow & Prestwick (famous for the only location that Elvis ,The King, Presley, set foot in the UK), two major railway stations one offering passages south and the other traveling to the north. The west line, includes the summer train to ‘hogwarts’ from the Harry Potter books) you can find freeway connections for vehicles and buses along with many specified cycle routes and footpaths soaking up some of Scotland’s very best scenery, this includes ‘The West Highland Way’ that starts off in a suburb to the north west of Glasgow not far from Glasgow accommodation.
Within Glasgow there’s architecture to fulfill the most cynical of sightseers. There’s a wealth to nourish the appetite of fans of Rennie Mackintosh and Alexander ‘Greek’ Thomson, who’re but a couple of the well known and applauded; but the treasures are concealed in the streets of the city, learn to walk with your head up and be amazed at the wide range of exceptional styles that provide a superb skyline, that is Glasgow, Scotland.
The skyline is being enhanced on a daily basis as Glasgow builds towards the Commonwealth Games in 2014, which are being hosted in The city.
