Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum
The Kelvin Grove Art Museum is located opposite the main campus of the University of Glasgow. It is the most visited museum in the UK except the British Museum. The museum was one of the main buildings of the Glasgow World's Fair in 1901. It adopts the Spanish Baroque style and uses the red sandstone commonly used in Glasgow for the outer walls. Exhibits in the museum detail Scottish history and culture, as well as a large collection of nature and European art. The treasure of the town hall is Salvador Dali's masterpiece "Christ of Saint John of the Cross".Glasgow · 20.4 km from Killearn
Luss
The town of Luss is located to the west of Loch Lomond. Because it is in the shade of the mountains, it has less sunshine. Due to the terrain, it has more rainfall, so it is also called the "Black Village". The town was originally surrounded by a quarry. Now you can see the slate cottages decorated with flowers. They were the residences of the old workers and have a history of a hundred years. Visitors can follow the hiking route of the quarry ruins to admire the workplace of the former quarry workers.Luss · 17.8 km from Killearn

Glasgow Cathedral
The construction of the Glasgow Cathedral was completed after more than 300 years. After that, it escaped the ravages of the religious revolution several times and has been preserved to this day. The churches that can be seen now are damaged to varying degrees everywhere, and the severely damaged West Tower is even more beautiful. You can clearly see the ruins of the year. The church is divided into two parts by a stone altar screen. Seven pairs of stone statues are scattered around the screen, symbolizing the "seven deadly sins" in the Catholic doctrine, which is quite interesting. According to legend, at the end of the 6th century, St. Mungo, the patron saint of Glasgow, established and named Glasgow here, and also made Glasgow Cathedral a historical witness of the city. The structure of the church is thin and towering, and the overall color is extremely dignified. In addition, it is located in the surrounding quiet green space and tombstones, which adds a sense of solemnity, as if it is telling the history of Glasgow with its own scars. The St.Mungo Museum on the side of the church is built to commemorate St.Mungo, the patron saint of Glasgow. As a Catholic saint, Mungo is said to have shown four miracles to the world: birds that can't fly, can't grow Tall trees, bells that don't ring, fish that don't swim, all mysteries will be solved in this museum. In addition to the Catholic life and art collections, the collection displays Hindu statues of Shiva, Zen Buddhism and courtyards that are worth viewing.Glasgow · 22.1 km from Killearn

The Tall Ship Glenlee is moored next to the museum. This beautiful three-masted sailing ship was built in 1896 and stands three stories high.

George Square
George Square is a square square as big as a football field. It can be regarded as an open-air sculpture museum. Sculptures of Queen Victoria, poet Robert Burns, JameWatt who invented the steam engine, native Scottish writer Sir Walter Scott and George III can be seen on the square. The square is surrounded by exquisite buildings left over from the Victorian period, the representative of which is a vermilion building on the east side. The vaulted ceilings, marble and pure white alabaster staircases all reflect the style of this "great Victorian city".Glasgow · 21.9 km from Killearn
Gallery of Modern Art
The Glasgow Museum of Modern Art is the most popular contemporary art gallery in Scotland. In an elegant neoclassical building, contemporary art works by artists from all over the world are displayed. The two styles form a sharp contrast. Although there are mainly original paintings of the pioneers on display, focusing on social issues, it is not always so heavy, and some designs for children are very interesting.Glasgow · 22 km from Killearn

Luss is located on the shore of Loch Lomond. It is an extremely quiet and beautiful village. The town is not big, with only about twenty households. But each cottage has a unique color and courtyard, and the outside of the house is carefully decorated with colorful flowers.

Glasgow Cathedral is one of Scotland’s most remarkable historic landmarks and a masterpiece of medieval architecture. The cathedral’s impressive Gothic design, stunning stained-glass windows, and peaceful atmosphere make it a fascinating place to explore. Walking through its ancient halls offers a glimpse into centuries of Scottish history and religious heritage. I was particularly impressed by the intricate stonework and the beautiful crypt beneath the cathedral. Located near the city center, it provides a quiet contrast to Glasgow’s vibrant urban life. Whether you are interested in history, architecture, or culture, Glasgow Cathedral is a must-visit attraction in Scotland.

Absolutely fabulous attraction in the heart of Glasgow's West End. The surrounding grounds are lushly verdant, a lovely wee coffee stall. Benches around the to soak of the fresh air & admire the beautiful gardens. A must see is Kibble Palace in the grounds with more tropical plants & fish and stunning sculptures under a beautiful glass roof.

visited (my oldest grandson who is 6 and myself) on a Saturday. The museum is fairly well sign-posted and there is plenty of on-site parking. The car park was about half full so the museum was busy. Parking is £1.60 per hour but entry to the museum (and the adjacent Tall Ship) is free.Mask- wearing is compulsory though compliance was patchy. About 20% didn’t bother at all which is poor is an indoor environment with lots of kids.

George Square is located in Glasgow city center and is very conveniently accessible by train or subway. On nice days, you can sunbathe and watch pigeons in the square. It is close to the famous shopping street, where you can buy souvenirs, clothes, shoes and socks. There are also many restaurants and eateries to choose from.
George Square is a must-see attraction. In addition to admiring the architecture of the square;during different festivals, such as Christmas, the square is built into a Christmas Market, becoming a dynamic and happy atmosphere.

Great visit at the GOMA in Glasgow Scotland. The famous statue outside often has a street cone on the riders head :)
