Glasgow
While Edinburgh may be Scotland's political capital, Glasgow has a claim to being the heart of the country. With more than half a million people calling the city home, two of the biggest football teams in Europe playing against each other, and dozens of attractions for tourists to enjoy, Glasgow is a city that has developed a reputation as being one of the most exciting and welcoming cities in the whole of Europe, and become a hot destination for short breaks, or as the place from which to begin a touring holiday around Scotland's west coast.
As a popular weekend break destination, Glasgow has plenty to offer visitors. Sauchiehill Street is the heart of the city, and the location of many of the most famous stores in the town. At the end of the street is one of the few surviving blue police boxes in the country – something that all fans of Doctor who will recognise as a Tardis.
Recent redevelopments of the dock area along the River Clyde have seen a number of new attractions constructed including the Scottish Science Museum, which has exhibits that are great for children. In the city centre, another museum contains a full collection of the designs of Charles Remy McIntosh, one of Glasgow's most famous designers.
If you are in Glasgow during the football season, then watching an “Old Firm” derby is an absolute must. Rangers Vs Celtic is one of the classic matches in football. Due to the structure of the Scottish League, the two teams typically meet around 6 times each season, and the matches divide the city in two for a short period of time.
If you book car hire in Glasgow, the city becomes the perfect gateway into the Highlands. The famous and beautiful Loch Lomond is within easy reach of the city – less than an hour away by road – and boasts many water sports as well as plenty of walking in the hills that surround it. Slightly further afield, Oban, Fort William and Ben Nevis are also within reach and offer some of the most challenging landscapes in Scotland for walkers.
