Pretty sure the little hairy fellow was a wild Haggis.
Don't worry about not being liked if you have a America accent try going there if you have a English accent the Scottish want a referendum to leave the UK every year they is one way to get their independence let the English vote on weather they stay in the UK and they will definitely get their independence because the English are fed up with their moning
So did you go see wild Bill Hickocks statue whilst in Glasgow? Did you go to the green, and see the only building in Glasgow to look like it was removed from Venice? Did you go to what is known a Wallace's well Where he was arrested after the Scottish gave him up? Did you visit the start of the West Highland way? The half sized Hagia Sophia (saint sophia's church just outside Glasgow)? Or did you visit the Clyde mueum? Or the Mackintosh tea rooms in the city centre? I'm English and when up there 3 years ago, I was actually asked by the Scottish tourist board to stay and help visitors to see historic Scotland.
@@shaynemurphy2938 I’m a Glaswegian pal and not all Scots want a referendum or hate the English it’s only the SNP so and we have still the majority . So don’t class all Scots the same as that lot who would sell there Grannie for a pound .
You still haven't seen real dinosaur bones - fossils are stone in the shape that was once occupied by the bones :)
The freaky little creature was a Wild Haggis. They are almost extinct so most people can only see them in museums
The males have longer left legs than their right, so run clockwise around the mountains
The females have longer right legs, so they go anticlockwise.
Some people say they only appear every so often, just like Brigadoon.
You really need to get up to the Highlands for the annual Wild Haggis Hunt. Chasing those little beggers around the hills with that net, while trying not to fall down the hill can be rough.
@@Thurgosh_OG I read the sabre tooth sporran almost eradicated the wild haggis. Have they been reintroduced?
Surprised no one mentioned the premium haggis races run by Hector brocklebank.. Amazing event
The way that you crossed the road is fine, and completely normal. Car drivers are taught to look out for pedestrians, not run them over.
Plus we don't have jaywalking laws at all, pedestrians have right of way.
Also, recent changes to the Highway Code have made it explicit that drivers should give way to pedestrians crossing a side street at a junction. You don't want to walk out in front of someone forcing them to stop abruptly, but in the situation Angela was in, that would have been fine.
I loved this outside perspective on Glasgow, I felt like I was seeing my home through a fresh set of eyes and noticing things I had taken for granted about the city
Same, I've been looking forward to this one
Ask yer nurse tae wheel you out now and then ffs...
@@The_Prophet... 🤣🤣🤣
@@ianmclaughlin4043 Probably walking about Glesga with a Farm foods carrier bag on his nut covering up his coupon 🙈🤣👍
There are so many amazing little places on the outskirts of Scotland's cities, little towns and villages to explore. So glad you guys had a good time here
One thing to remember when touring the UK is that while there are still very many old buildings, a lot of the centres of major cities were badly damaged by German bombing in WWII, so a lot of rebuilding was carried out afterwards. While some of this was begun soon after the war ended, a lot of it didn't begin until the 1970s or even later.
Glasgow actually saw very little bombing during the war, though nearby Clydebank was terribly damaged by bombs. Sadly most of Glasgow's old buildings were torn down by developers to throw up the motorway, concrete towers and new towns on the outskirts, the initial plan was to tear down the entire city, including Kelvingrove and the University, luckily they didn't have the money to do it
@@vercingetorix1994 Never mentioned Glasgow, just happened to make the comment on this particular video. But thanks for clarifying.
Yeh and some 70s architecture left a lot to be desired.
@@amac2573 Glasgow was bombed Partick Hyndland Maryhill Shettleston Springburn Tradeston town centre all got bombed
@@legandrydirk Thanks for correcting me. I was told only Clydebank got hit.
The square you came out too at the station (George Square) was the location for World War Z in the first scene set in "Philadelphia".
And the small furry creature that you didn't know, that looked mythological, was a Haggis.
Wild haggis are exceedingly rare in an urban setting
@@gwaptiva You say that, but wait until they start going through your bins! The urban haggis is getting to be a real nuisance round my way. They've gnawed a hole in my wheely bin, and they have eaten half my strawberries this summer.
Oh do stop teasing our ex colonial cousins.
@@simpleminded1uk- I'm in London and come up to the Highlands for the Haggis Hunting Season each year. Obviously with Covid, I have sadly missed a couple of years, but hope to get up in August. I do recall the last time i was 'on the hunt' and saw a 'wild' Haggis... Wild !? it was bloody furious... because they don't like being seen!
@@tonys1636 that's what it is genuinely labelled as at the Kelvingrove. These wee creatures are hard to catch but delicious.
Ah, you missed a trick - the Necropolis (city of the dead) - resting place of 50,000 people, some of them quite famous. It sounds morbid but is actually very interesting and scenic, is free to wander around and would have been great for the view alone.
50k dead thats called Ibrox over in Govan
Where we have modern buildings randomly mixed in with old buildings in city centres - that’s generally down to the Luftwaffe re-doing our town planning for us between 1939-1945.
I think that's giving a pass to 1960s planners that they don't deserve. The policy on Princes Street back then was " Caw it doon ! "
not forgetting the odd fire than pops up conveniently when a new hotel or student accommodation is needed built.
I’m really glad you enjoyed your visit to the UK. Please come again soon and hopefully bring the wains
The abandoned station at the Botanic Gardens has actually specifically used as a set for the up coming Batgirl movie as well as others parts around the city. Glasgow also used as Gotham City in the latest Batman film too.
The no-longer up and coming Batgirl movie, apparently
This has been my favourite post so far, not because I’m from Glasgow, but both of you seem more relaxed than you have been up till now in the trip
It really makes you realise how small the world really is when you see people from across the world visiting your home city! I'm from and live in Glasgow, and have done majority of my life, and it's a really weird feeling (in a good way, of course!) seeing people you've followed on CZcams for so long cutting about your home town city centre and seeing the sights I take for granted every day. I hope you enjoyed Glasgow, and your time in Scotland for that matter! Love the channel, guys!
Thank you so much and for your continued support. Glasgow was nice just wish had more time.
Glasgow is my favourite city in the whole world!
The friendliest people without doubt, next time stay longer.
I’m so glad your trip has been good, it’s made me realise just how proud I am of the UK.
Trip was great, you guys are great! Thank you.
@@midwestamericans3806 You should have walked around a bit more, you totally missed all of the murals painted on the gable ends of some buildings.
Friendliest? Unless you are English.!
@@samc705 yea lots of Banksy types in Glasgow. AKA vandals.
@@bigteddy66 I take it that you're yet another person who does no research before typing your comments? Take a look at the mural trail of Glasgow, and then ponder on your "vandals" idea. Artwork son...It's artwork.
Loving the haircut Ethan. Angela you suit your hair down. Glad you enjoyed my part of the country with another great narration and the filming was epic 👏🌟
You go to Edinburgh for the history and scenery, you go to Glasgow for the people and the craic. You would never be lonely in Glasgow,there is always someone willing to talk to you or help you.
As someone from Glasgow, I'm glad you visited our beautiful city and I know you were probably pushed for time, but guys, you missed out on so much of Glasgow, you were in the west end, but still only covered a tiny part of what's on offer there, the city centre and east end are must sees, and as you love art so much, the mural trail is a must, glasgow is home to Charles Rennie mackintosh, and his influence on the city is outstanding, from designs to artwork. I hope you get to return to Glasgow and discover its full potential, you have literally only scratched the surface of this magnificent city
Thats how I feel about the whole trip, just scratching the surface
Yeah, as a fellow weegie he's right about the suggestions, so much more to see than the west end, which is good. The church is Landsdowne Church btw.
Kelvingrove is probably a top 10 museum in the world! No matter how often you go there, it has something new to discover every time. Great for kids of all ages. *sigh* I miss Glasgow so much sometimes. By the way, you went to the wrong station! Ok, you went to the one with your train, but as stations go, Glasgow Central is hard to beat! Waverley cannot hold a candle to Glasgow Central
Aye, but fer auldies, Buchanan St wuz even better
@@Cheeseatingjunglista I'm auld but only a Millennial when it comes to Glasgow (moved there mid90s)
If you are going from Edinburgh to Glasgow you want a train to Queen Street, which is what you took! The service to Central takes longer and if you go that way via Shotts the scenery is best described as... unexciting.
Glasgow doesn't have top 10 of anything except for drug deaths and ugly people.
Inside kelvingrove art gallery most be one of the best interiors in the world
Looks like you were at Glasgow Queen Street station, which compared to Edinburgh Waverley isn't so impressive. However Glasgow Central, the other main terminal station in the city, is a very handsome station.
Hello Ethan and Angela. I enjoyed that you seemed more relaxed and at home in this video. You made Glasgow look worth a visit.
It reminded me if a day I spent doing similar stuff in Richmond Virginia, though their museum had made an effort to go interactive.
Finally a view of Yorkshire at the end too, today on Yorkshire Day, 1 August.
Yea first time trying to vlog had to try to get out of our comfort zones not trying to make excuses but it is the truth. Had a fantastic time though.
@@midwestamericans3806 It's Iranian, not Eyeranian
U look like a proper Glasgow boy with that haircut 😂 it looks good on you. I’m glad you enjoyed exploring my home town
As a Wegie (Glaswegian) I'm glad you took the time to enjoy our "Dear green place". Haste ye back!
Just so you know for the next time, most large stations have luggage storage facilities. There is a charge, but better than lugging a big suitcase or backpack around. ❤️
'Cept aberdeen shut theirs down just before covid. Such a shame cos was handy for us islanders. Now gotta go to ferry terminal and then walk way back round to city centre. Don't know what tourists r meant to do. Not good enough really.
Too busy having a haircut. You can’t get them in MW America.
Never been to Glasgow, possibly never will, so thank you for a brief glimpse of what I’m missing. Nicely filmed and narrated as usual. Looking forward to York and your impressions of the North of England, or at least the bits you see.
Glasgow was the Second City of the Empire back in the day - well worth a visit.
You aren't missing much. No better than dozens of other UK cities.
Looks similar to a Peaky Blinders cut..very brave of you Ethan!
Ya looks more boyish and younger
It was good to get a wee glimpse of my home city of Glasgow. I have lived in London for may years now and sadly I’ve only been back for funerals lately. I really should try and get back for a proper visit again. All the best to you and yours. Rab
Those decorated Bollard thingies are called......
Bollards !!
😁😁
Glasgow got bombed in WW2 and was the most bombed city in Scotland, due to the docks, shipbuilding and industry. Hence the new buildings. Whenever you see new buildings in a big city in the UK, especially 60s and 70s buildings, it’s mostly down to the bombings. Coventry, a medieval city, was flattened by German bombs.
Clydebank had more damage than Glasgow.
Most of Glasgow city centre was knocked down by the council.
Hiya Lindy, watch Baldricks poem on Blackadder Goes Forth, its very funny
Your so wrong with that statement …..🤔
Peterhead was the most bombed place in Scotland and Aberdeen was bombed more than Glasgow. I'm a Glaswegian, My dad was born in the war and I do not know why you keep coming out with this pish when you have been told before.
Glasgow was bombed but the damage done to Glasgow was not bombed as much as Greenock or Clydebank. And Clydebank is not Glasgow.
Peterhead was bombed 28 times. Aberdeen had over 10000 houses bombed. Clydebank and Singer were razed and 325people killed on a single night. 280 were killed in Greenock in May 41.
Bombs that fell on Glasgow were in Maryhill and other Western areas of the town and over the river in Govan. Now, the areas that were heavily redeveloped were not in the areas that were hit. See that big effin motorway? That wasn't built on bomb sites. That was built right over areas the council knocked down.
It really pisses me off that people don't know Glasgow and yet think places like Clydebank is part of Glasgow.
It would be more accurate to say that clydeside was bombed by the Germans and it is totally innacurate to say that Glasgow was the most bombed. A simple look at a map would show which was the easiest for the Germans to hit flying from Norway..
The worst thing is that you do not even try to defend your erroneous comment but then go on to repeat the same spurious claim on another post.
Beautifully shot video with nice artistic bits! As always your videos are a pleasure to relax & be transported by, with the lovely measured narration. You did Glasgow justice.
P. S. That's a lovely shot of the two of you in the thumbnail.
Hahaha the wee beastie was a wild Haggis ;)
Glasgee is a very underrated city its very chill though which is why i like it.
*Glesga lol
Hiya Fergus, my favourite 2 glaswegians are Jim Kerr and Rab C Nesbitt
@@paulguise698 My favourite Glaswegian is Limmy
Chips are called a “Glasgow salad”!
and if you want a super salad, You can put a bit of ketchup on them.
@@Magpie_Media Not ketchup - “Glasgow salad dressing”.
Never heard that in ma puff, I think that just you Dave
@@Kazza_8240 well, I made up the bit about the ketchup!
@@DrDaveW Lol, wit are you like eh?
The Glasgow Necropolis is really interesting especially if you pay for a guided tour.
Definitely ride the subway! The Science museum is good too.
Glasgow is one of those cities where you could really do with a local tour guide because on the surface it's not a natural tourist city like Edinburgh & London but those who live there know it inside out and could have shown you things you maybe wouldn't find on the kinda forced tourist sites. But I'm glad yous made it here and enjoyed what yous did do for the 24 hours. 🏴🇺🇸
Pronunciations of both Glasgow and Edinburgh were spot on! Well done, looks like you both had a blast, glad you enjoyed it. Should you decide to come back have a look more into the Highlands, so many ruins and castles to explore, not to mention the North Coast 500 if you get the chance :-)
It was practically perfect. Van Gogh, not so much though.
There are ways into that subway
The tunnel entrances either end are at the top end of the park (in the north - at the site of 'Kirklee' station) or at Kelvinbridge subway Station further east along Great Western Road
But yes - it is fenced off for a reason. If you go 'urban exploring' there you will be doing so at your own risk.
The line is part of the former 'Glasgow Central Railway'. The southern portion is still open as the route through Exhibition Centre, Anderston, Glasgow Central low level, Argyle St. Etc.
Personally I'd like to see the section through the Westend to Maryhill Central reopened.
The creature in the museum you found freaky is a great little joke. It is patched together from several other animals and is meant to be a haggis. It is a little animal with its legs shorter on one side so it can run around hills easier. You are right that Queen Street Station is not as impressive as Waverley station but it isn't the main station in Glasgow. That is central station, about a 10 minute walk away and that's impressive in a Victorian, Edwardian way.
Haggis, a joke - Yer aff yer heid??? Och, hoots mon, you will be saying next that Nessie doesn't exist..! 🤣🤣🤣
That’s just a rumour put about to dissuade curious, unlicensed tourists, from traipsing about the place, disturbing the few that still remain along the Central Belt of Scotland.
@@MrPercy112 - SO true, but do 'keep it under your hat' please. By the way, I'm still unsure if it's correct to say Haggis, Haggis's or Haggi as the plural? Can anyone confirm please, as I thought it was like 'sheep' and ALWAYS used Haggis!
@Stewed Fish Productions: yes, it is indeed its own plural, as with sheep. However, the word Haggii refers the genus Haggis; and coincidentally, it is also the name of the combined clans of the haggis - in much the same way as we use the term ‘Gaelioch’’ to reference the Gaelic peoples as a whole. Glad to be of assistance. 😉
@@MrPercy112 - Thanks for the rapid response and clarification, very much appreciated. Also my Latin is almost non-existent when it comes to flora and fauna, so thanks for explaining the genus. I did check the Encyclopedia Britannica and discovered that it is actually a Tautonym (the same name for Genus and Species), thus Haggi haggi. One of a select few inc. (but not limited too): Mephitis mephitis (striped skunk), Natrix natrix (European grass snake), Gorilla gorilla (Western gorilla) and the one I thought was strange, because it's NOT what you might think (?) Puffinus puffinus (yes a bird, but the Manx shearwater). 🤔🇬🇧
Belter of a trim lad, hope you enjoyed Glasgow guys, so many beautiful places just far from cities!🏴👍🇺🇸
I haven't seen anybody say but most large museums in the UK are free to enter and very few that do charge charge anything substantial. There's a belief here that access to their treasure trove of education is important and enriching.
Yea I really enjoyed that.
A real joy to follow your journey. Such a lovely couple you are. Always look forward to your videos.
Thank you very much! You're to kind.
The UK is world renowned for its collections of most of the fauna of the world, collectors from all the different scientific collections around the UK. Are always actively searching and collecting specimens from all over the world. Kew Gardens is the centre of research for plants and trees in the UK it’s been collecting plants and trees for hundreds of years. It even has the largest floating leafed, leaf size of over 3 or 4 ft diameter, aquatic plant in the world in its own pond at Kew together with that monster flower that only flowers once every however long it is and smells of dead flesh or something delicious to flying things. Look it up, it’s just outside of London open to the public.
Great info! 👌🏻 thanks.
MY father is from Paisley, but I've never been there I'm afraid, But your next stop YORK is one of my favourite cities in England. I absolutely love the history of York .
I was born in Paisley in1960 . It used to be a lovely wee town back in the day . My cousin was married in Paisley Abbey and my parents lived in a tenement with an outside toilet shared with other families !
@@99fruitbat94 I was told it was an independent Town , believe its suburb of Glasgow now , As told to me by a Paisley Lad who works in Glasgow ,just the other day .Always Been a big City Glasgow, I'm English with a Scottish dad ,which camp do I fit in , On a census paper I'd tick white British.
@@maxmoore9955 My dad was Scottish and my mum was German , she was allowed over to Britain just after the Second World War . She was a nurse and used to say that she was only allowed over after she could prove that she wasn't a member of the Nazi party 😶 Sorry for the long explanation 😶 Old lady on a computer. Paisley as I remember was a tidy little town with beautiful civic gardens full of flowers and much local pride . Very tidy and really lovely . Amazing Victorian
@@99fruitbat94 I've never been there ,funnily I've met people from Paisley all over the World ,when we got speaking, and obviously I'm interested . Straight away, Although it's my father from that Town, I'm interested, But I remember my Dad Talking of Paisley as a distinct Town ,whey he spoke about it , I was talking to a Scottish Lad only the other day ,and asked if he thought Paisley was a Town or a suburb of Glasgow, his reply was suburd of Glasgow.
That Haggis is the Museum's wee joke on Visitors. The Barber is on Great Western Road just along from where it meets Park Road.
Glasgow is great place to live. People are very friendly and helpful . It is dream land. There are many places to visit.
I live in the West End of Glasgow and I really appreciate you showing how wonderful our little slice of Scotland is ❤️
You managed to pack in a lot in your stay at Glasgow 😊
The haircut looks really cool 😎
Thank you!
How am I only seeing this now? CZcams sort ur algorithm out!
Glad u guys enjoyed my hometown, I was born literally 5mins from the Kelvingrove art gallery & museum and lived my early years a stone's throw from the Kelvinhall subway station. I'm so proud of my hometowns policy of ALL museums and galleries being free admission as I'm sure you'd agree they could charge a fee comparable to similar UK tourist spots.
Glasgow is much cheaper and friendlier not to mention has more to do than our expensive tourist trap of a 'Capital '. Hope u guys enjoyed yourselves and spread the word.😁
Here's tae us, wha's like us 🍻👍
The creature is a farmed Haggis as, unlike the wild version, it's legs are of equal length.
Yes, I think it’s the ‘Howick’ variant; sadly, now nearing extinction.
The Tube is a name people call specifically the London Underground.
Yeah the tube is a nickname that like most started off as derisory but became loved. The system in London is officially called The Underground.
Nice seeing the Campsie Hills as you left Glasgow, that's my sign that I'm home. Glad you guys had a good holiday (vacation)
I’m really loving these videos and narration. It’s like we’re invited to watch your home movie while you talk us through them! 😊
Glad you are enjoying it.
You passed within 10 minutes walk of my house on your train Journey to Glasgow. I’m glad you’re enjoying your trip. I lived in Glasgow as student and really liked it.
The art gallery and a lot of other buildings that look similar to that used to be houses of the tobacco lords back in the 16/17 hundreds
Kelvingrove Art Gallery was built 1888-1901 as a fine art gallery for the Glasgow International Exhibition of 1901 and was not the home of a tobacco baron. The original museum, Kelvingrove House, in what is now Kelvingrove Park, was built in the late 1700's and was the home of a merchant who was also a Lord Provost of Glasgow.
Glad you enjoyed Glasgow. There should have been a Salvadore Dali Painting in Kelvingrove but it's out on loan. I've been trying to see it for the last 15 years, everytime I go it's on loan. You could have walked from Kelvingrove to the Botanic Gardens along the Kelvin river walkway, but you got to experience the Subway :) . Hope your ears have recovered from the squeel from the trains.
I was thinking about the Kelvin walkway as well. I love it.
@@fionaj8668 I stay in Edinburgh now but any time I get an hour or so in Glasgow that's where I head. Kelvingrove is just the best park as well.
That painting is PHENOMENAL…I saw it at St Mungos many years ago & then again in ..Kelvingrove…I was stunned to learn Dali had painted it…ts a real tour de force!
@@janesmith8831 I originally went to St Mungos to see it, just as it had been transferred to Kelvingrove, It's been on loan everytime I go. They even built a wee room for it, it just added insult to injury for me 🤣
@@DMCDObidon aarrggghhh! persist! It’s worth it…so powerful.
If you ever get the chance to come here again, make sure to check out the People's Palace! It's a great place to learn about Glasgow and its history. It's situated in Glasgow Green which is a lovely park. It's in the East End, which also has Glasgow Cathedral and Provand's Lordship which is one of the oldest surviving buildings in Glasgow which is open to the public.
There is SO MUCH to do here.
That cute weird little creature was a "haggis" 🤣🤣🤣
The horned animal in the museum case is a Saiga Antelope and are still around but critically endangered.
Loved this episode of your "journey". It was good to hear Ethan speaking as much as he did, I don't mean that to be unkind to Angela in any way, we haven't really heard much from Ethan and it was good to hear his thoughts on your journey, I really did enjoy this episode.
The brightly decorated "things" that you couldn't remember the name of are bollards, there's an opportunity for a cheap joke there but I won't spoil myself.
You were teasing at the very end with the few seconds of footage of the walls, I'm already looking forward to seeing what you made of the place :)
I'm really glad you enjoyed Glasgow. Please stay/visit us again. you're very welcome
Can you do a tour of your locality back home - showing things we if we were there as tourists we should see 🇬🇧
The pictures in stained glass windows usually depict stories about people sometimes you'll find a description explaining this 💙
I spent much of my childhood and teens roaming around Glasgow . Pity you didn't get to visit Glasgows oldest house , the fabulous Necropolis ( Europes most beautiful cemetery ) the amazing fossil tree trunks in Possil Park and the restored 1930's tenement flat ( apartment ) . Maybe next time. 👋🏴💕
Fossil Grove is in Victoria Park.
Hope you both had a lovely time in Scotland. It was great to see a tourist perspective of Glasgow :)
thank you so much for pronouncing Glasgow correctly! you've no idea how grating it is to hear people pronounce it "glass-cow" you're welcome back anytime!!
7:45 that bluish white flower is called Calotropis gigantea. It's native to south Asia. It's poisonous if ingested.
One of the best spots that I went to many years ago was in Glasgow was a restaurant called The Buttery that was a converted Glaswegian pub in the middle of a half derelict tenement district just outside the ring road. the building was shored up with huge timbers as the building on one side had been taken down. Walking through the entrance (not the same as now) you had the off-license, where the kids used to congregate in the past waiting for their Ma and Pa to come out and give them a penny for a drink.Through the entrance door to the pub was an original rude screen and around the corner the huge marble bar. The opulence of the Victorian features belies the abject poverty of the streets around. The food in the Buttery was very special and the group I was in laid into the wine cellar. One of the best meals I have ever had.
When in the museum if your lucky they massive pipe organ get's played in the main hall. Really cool experience.
The Train Station you wanted to get into wasn't actually a Subway - It was part of Glasgow's main lines but like Central and Queen Street Stations, the lines duck down below ground level to bypass the city. It's actually accessible, it emerges from the Tunnel Entrance by the River Kelvin if you go to one of the corners of Botanic Gardens. You can (unbelieveably) also get into it via one of the flower beds in Botanic Gardens which has caved in into the old station entrance steps. I was down in it and walked the legnth of the tunnel about 10 years ago.
The subway in Glasgow (Called the Underground) is it's own independent system and only emerges above ground level at one point (the Stock maintenance Facility) - to the best of my knowledge, it isn't actually connected to the main line (it's tracks are a different Guage and therefore incompatible with mainline traffic)
The Subway in Glasgow is called "The Subway". It reverted back to its original name some years ago.
The main attractions aren't what's cool about Scotland. It's the secret small places that are the most interesting. Glasgow my city. Good for a base but to get the best you need a car and to branch out from the city. As I said if you get back I'd like to show off my country just don't have me on camera.😂
30 minute haircut for 12 quid is amazing!
That haircut looked fresh!! Wifey looks so great with her hair down too❤
The way Americans say glasgow and Scotland is always so funny its so polite instead of thr aggressive way I'm used to lol
I can appreciate that you chaps were itching to see a bit of Britain, as I was itching to see a bit of the `States when I was your age. If you ever come over here again, I`d recommend a tour of Europe. Two tours, both - alas - would be expensive. First a tour of south western Europe where western civilization was born. Second, where the Printing Press and wide dispersal of opinion came to light.
It cannot be a bad thing to love each other, hither or thither. Live long and see much, the two on you.
The haggis in the museum ,they live on hills and have burrows,they have longer legs on one side of their body to help them stand on the slopes !
So if one chases you run anti clockwise around the hill and they will fall down .
This series is awesome. You guys are doing a great job.
Thank you!
About 15 years ago, in the space of two weeks Glasgow was voted the friendliest city in Europe, and the city were you are most likely to get stabbed. and from experience the Glaswegians are both extremely friendly and crazy.
English gave taken over the stabbing count.
‘English’ ???
@@annemoncrieff3875 that mekes no sense.
For another time: Loch Lomond is very close to Glasgow - it's incredibly beautiful... Love your travel vlogs!!
We absolutely wanted to really kicking myself for not, if the car had worked out would go for sure.
@@midwestamericans3806 There's not a massive amount to do in the Loch Lomond area. Train would have taken you to Balloch but pretty much all there would have been is a boat trip on Loch Lomond itself or a walk round Balloch park. There's very little here for visitors. In the wider area you've got the likes of Stirling. Also Glengoyne Distillery to see how whisky is made. The whole Loch Lomond and Trossachs national park is great to drive through and explore by car and its good for hill walking, but beyond that its not brilliant for things to do.
Before they opened the Riverside Museum, Glasgow also had a transport museum opposite the Kelvingrove museum and art gallery that you visited. It was always a great way for parents to spend a day with their kids, doing one of the 2 museums in the morning, having lunch in the park and doing the other museum in the afternoon. As entry was donation only, it was a cheap way to entertain kids during summer breaks from school. Glasgow University's main old building is also just behind the Kelvingrove museum and is a really impressive place.
Glasgow is a completely different kind of city to Edinburgh. Edinburgh has lots of tourist stuff to see and it has a brilliant arts festival during August, but the rest of the year it doesnt have a whole lot for the locals. Glasgow doesnt show itself off as a tourist city, but it has one of the most vibrant live music scenes in Britain. Probably second only to London and far stronger than many American cities. Edinburgh is great to visit. Glasgow is a better city to live in (or near).
Also check out the devil's pulpit and/or the campsie glens.
Glad you enjoyed Glasgow! great video! Queen street is our small station! you should have checked out central station! much bigger and more beautiful!
Really enjoyed this. Glad you enjoyed your visit guys.
SO handsome with that haircut. You look like Cillian Murphy from Peaky Blinders.
That was a great looking haircut! Loving these videos, as always. Keep 'em.coming. :)
I am so happy you pronounced Glasgow right(well most the time) . A lot of my family are from Glasgow(not me though),and it's a city that gets a lot of hate,unfairly I think. Its changed a lot in recent years.
If you want to see more dinosaur related stuff then visit a place along the Jurassic Coast, it’s in Southern England and stretches from Devon to Dorset. There are museums and fossil walks and all sorts of stuff to do along there, plus lots of sun and beaches!
13:22 The Church is currently called Websters.
Used to be a church then it was changed into a bar/bistro and theatre.
There are a number of Church pubs around Scotland.
That was great! The Rennie Macintosh museum at Glasgow university is good to see, too. Next time!
I too would recommend the Necropolis and St Mungo's Church where they have Salvidor Dali's "Crucifixon of the Christ" just hanging on a wall! I love Glasgow it is my favourite city.
There's an old joke about Glasgow, the best road is the road out. It's not of course it is purely a joke and it applicable to anywhere. Glasgow is a great city. Glad you enjoyed Scotland and took the time to listen to pronunciation of place names. 🍻
I've literally just discovered your channel this afternoon. I subscribed to a young American guy's Channel (Its JPS) who has recently returned from a UK visit. I checked for his upload today but, before he'd uploaded, the 'magic' CZcams algorythm highlighted your Glasgow visit. I've subsequently checked out a few of your uploads and they have been very engaging and entertaining. You have a new subscriber - and I really look forward to discovering more! Best wishes from the UK.
Glad the algorithm worked for you! We got back about 5 weeks ago just a bit slower getting the videos out as we work full time and have kids.
@@midwestamericans3806 Many thanks for your reply! Best wishes to you and your family! Tony, UK.
One of my favourite cities in the world, brilliant place
I TOLD you to see Kelvingrove, but you weren't listening, apparently. Glad you got there anyway ;-). Shame you missed Dali's crucifixion since it's really a highlight of the gallery, but most importantly you found the Haggis. They're almost extinct now, since Nessie has eaten most of the wild ones in Scotland.
I love how it's always possible to get a portion of chips in a UK restaurant, even with Dim Sum.
A common stereotype of Glasgow is that its terrible but after many times of going there and seeing family there. You come to love the city and its people and that its one of the greatest Cities in Europe and people should appreciate it for what it is.
You were only 5miles from my house small world eh great vlogs well done U2👏
For a fairer comparison, you'd need to compare Waverley with Glasgow Central Station. Queen Street is much smaller and has relatively few facilities.
Its also been extensively rebuilt; Central is still the very Victorian ironwork. But for my money, Wemyss Bay has both beat.
@@f0rth3l0v30fchr15t planes trains everything certainly agreed.
The church you guys passed at 13:25 is actually converted into a theatre and bar! I’ve watched you guys for a while now but it was so lovely to see you in one of my favourite cities - you actually walked right past my old flat from university at one point. Glasgow is a great city for free things to do, I spent a lot of time wandering around the botanics when the whether was nice - I hope you’ll spend some time in Ireland too!
I thought the haircut really suited you!
That's so cool! Thanks for following us this far!
Glad you had a good time in Glasgow! You made a really good choice in going to Kelvingrove, it's great to spend a bit of time in. The Subway is nicknamed the Clockwork Orange! Also a great choice going to the Botanic Gardens! A lot of people don't even know about that old railway station in the gardens, so it was good you found it! There's pictures online from people who managed to get down there. People started holding raves in the old railway tunnels so they made it really really difficult to get down to! I went to Star Trek convention in that hotel many many years ago! Glasgow's main station is Central and it's much nicer than Queen Street. Alas the trains I get to Glasgow usually go in to Queen Street! Next time you're in Scotland, just remember that the highlands are just over an hour away by public transport!
Was that convention in April 1982?
@@karenblackadder1183 No, 2001 or 2002 roughly. We're there conventions there in the 70s too?
For your information: a “Glasgow Kiss” is a headbutt.
If you love old and abandoned things that it's not illegal to enter, you should have gone to the Cental Station tour, takes you underneath all the workings. Its fantastic! X
The other thing big railway stations will often have are staffed Tourism Information Centres if you want ideas for things to do in the town you’re in.
Oh and the Subway sign you saw doesn’t refer to a metro rail station. As you rightly noted, we call that the Tube. We call those underground tunnels for walking that connect you to different places in the Underground stations SUBWAYS.
Oh and the many references to the creature called a haggis is what Brits refer to as a piss take, or taking the mickey, or an older more international expression - pulling your leg. That’s also true of the reference to a Sporran, in truth a little leather bag accessory Scotsmen wear at their waist when wearing a kilt 😐
Museums in the UK are free entrance but will usually ask for a voluntary donation.
Wow ..!
Authentic Scottish cuisine, Glasgow is one or the few places where some pubs are open 24 hrs per day ..!
No “Tatty pie’s” ?
Did you miss the oat cake’s?
A big change from “Dorothy land” … At least you didn’t fill the huge suitcase with “snickers “ or did you ..?
Cheers 🥂
Anthony
No filled it with double deckers instead
