Thanks
Thank you so much for the Super Thanks 🥺😱
Just randomly came across this and watched the video
Seems like a very friendly sincere dude
Glad you enjoyed glasgow
Thanks mate. I had a fantastic time 🥳🥳
Guys like you will find Glasweigans very welcoming Eddy. It was great to see my city again.
The cone on Wellingtons head is more iconic than the actual statue
I have the piece of broken Spur. Long story.lmao
@@glasgowG53 Brilliant, say no more lol. Any ideas how's long that cones been on the Statues head, . I saw it there in the late 80's
@JonDoe-sx3qd late 70s. It was, a student I'm sure. Old mate's dad was Stone Mason who renovated it. Broke the spur, paninked and stuck it in his tool bag. Still dont think it's been repaired?
@@glasgowG53 I wouldn't know, I haven been on the 41 A for years lol
It comes and goes🤣
Last time I travelled to Glasgow from Belfast, to see Status Quo open the gig for lynyrd Skynyrd.I went to Witherspoons for breakfast,I left my bag as I went to toilet, when I came back, 2 guys were sitting at my table, it turns out they were looking after my bag,until I came back. Always 2 sides of any city...
That’s a really uplifting anecdote. Thank you for sharing. And I like your (accidental?) spelling of Wetherspoons 😂
You were very lucky. Its cool to know there are still some good people out there 😃👍
when "The Quo"...beat up Les on Coronation Street 😅😅😅
Yes because here they would steal your gran if she wasn't locked up. Those guys were looking out for ya
That's lovely.👍
I wish I could see the world through your eyes Eddy. You're one of those rare people that have fun where ever they go. It's such a blessing, and your positivity is infectious! =)
I appreciate that 🥹🤩
You're such a lovely, happy lad. Sure you don't have some Scottish blood in you??? Glad you're having such a good time. You certainly deserve it! Haste ye back, my friend. Haste ye back!
That's the Irish in him 😂
I will definitely be back soon 🤩
Aww Eddy mate, so glad you love our Glesga( Glasgow), we are not all drunks , druggies and thugs like the press like to paint us as, we are a friendly bunch, yes, we have bad elements but so does everywhere, the cone is one of the most iconic landmarks in Glasgow, love your videos mate, keep em coming 😊
Totally agree! 👍
Absolutely buckled Eddy at you calling Craiglang rural 😂😂😂 If they prescribed you on the NHS you would cure any mental health problems in minutes. Glasgow is a magic place. Tons to see and do. Glad you enjoyed it. Never change man. Never change 💚
Thank you so much for coming to see our beautiful city of Glasgow, wish I had known, I would have taken you on a day trip. I appreciate it so much. x
I would have joined you! So proud of our city and our folk x
I offered to show him all the different places that they film still game but he didn't reply 😂
@@pauldodwell1792Lol you cannae blame him, you could have been Annie Bates from Misery for all he knew 😂
True 😂😂😂
Im bringing my better half to Scotland in another 8 weeks.We have a flat in Glasgow for 3 nights and will gonnae surprise her with 2 tickets to see Shania Twain @Stirling Castle for her birthday! Im born in Falkirk and mum n dad from Grangemouth,we came to Canada in 74..I havent been home since 1986 ~This trip is going to be sooo great and I can't wait❤
That accent man haha Nigerian to Irish to Birmingham so class
😂 I came here to comment on this exactly
@imertin You must be joking ! It's all Nigerian accent. With respect , a few Scottish words wi a Nigerian accent doesn't make it a Scottish accent lol . Nowhere near it . As for a Brummie (Birmingham) accent ? Have you actually ever heard one ? If you had you wouldn't think you could hear a Birmingham accent amidst a Nigerian accent. No hint of any Irish there either . 😂
@@gailismyname4430ngl I heard a bit of Birmingham in his accent
@@joshforeman1648 Well time tfor you to go for an audiology check at Specsavers then lol . Seriously though , there's absolutely NO Brummie ( Birmingham) in his NIGERIAN accent
@@gailismyname4430brother I'm from brum he got all the accents
Looks like your having a ball Eddy, glad you liked the snowballs, my favourites yum !. I have lived in Scotland all my life , and I have never tasted a fried Mars bar 😂😂
The fried mars bar was epic 🤣🥳
Nice to see you visited Uddingston. Did you know that the Tunnocks factory is just round the corner from the shop? The factory was also used in an episode of Still Game, the one where Pete invented the Beefy Bake.
Navid's is in Townhead, but Osprey Heights is in Maryhill where most of the filming was done including the cafe.
I stay across the road from Osprey, I can see it from my window 😊
@@traceys8065 Can you see into Jack's living room? lol
His enthusiasm is infectious … haven’t been home for 2 years, but I’m going in June, this video has built my excitement 👍🏼
You seem like a genuine nice bloke, wish I had half the love for people you do. Haggis croquettes though is blasphemous, was shouting at my monitor.. NOOOO... Laughed out loud when you said you haven't found anywhere that sells Scottish tablet yet. Review your footage of the gift shop and the sign that's right in front of your camera :)... Happy my City is coming across well..
Ive got a feeling that, when your next in Glasgow, there will be a lot of folk inviting you out for a pint or two. Great stuff Eddie.
Welcome to our beautiful country of Scotland 🏴
Since the second he mentioned Ireland, I couldn't stop hearing the Irish twang in his accent 😆 brilliant!
Glad you enjoyed Glasgow, by far the best city! 🏴👌🏻
So glad you loved my city. You had a beautiful day for filming. ❤️
That cone has been there for years if it gets removed it gets put back up again lol🤣🤣
Wooow 🤣🤣
Yeah that's correct. It was removed once by the authorities and Glasgow went into meltdown and it was put back. It's a landmark of Glasgow.
😄
Aww mate!
First time coming across one of your videos and being from Glasgow you've about made my day. Laughing away at your Scottish accent and your still game quotes.
Keep up the good work mate and you've got yourself another subscriber.
NAE SNOWBALLS!
The clock tower you were at is all that remains of the old tolbooth. The tolbooth was a municipal building that was built in the early 1600s. The road junction infront of it is where public executions were once performed along with the attaching road know as gallowgate.
Eddy there are 2 types of snowball in Scotland....the sweet choco type you had and a larger tennis ball sized cake with jam in the middle and coconut....you get these in the bakers
3 - the alcoholic drink your gran drank once a year
The big chocolate snowballs are better than the white ones. Ma grannie would bring some up to oor hoose every day when i was a kid.
@onlyhereforddebob8978 haha forgot about that one mate.....Advocaat and Lemonade. Every time your granny was up....would you believe at parties kids would get Babycham as adults thought it was just a light drink....if I remember it was a Perry at about 7% or so
Oooh I love snowballs from the bakers
You brighten my day Eddie ! if everyone had your optimism and outgoing nature, this world would be a much happier place ! I originally come from The Town of Motherwell which is circa 15 miles south of Glasgow, but I've lived in nth Yorkshire for thirty years. I'm so glad you had a blast and all I can say is - keep them coming.
Thanks for the lovely comment 🤩
Wellington Statues had a cone on his heid since 1980s, if it gets taken down, someone will just replace it 😂
It's attached bro it's modern art. For the modern art museum.
I'm a glaswegian sitting watching this , this makes me happy 😊.
The electric double decker buses are clean yeah, cos they're brand new. Give a few months they'll be stinking of pish as per.
yer da sell's avon!
@@gazzofazzofarrell3713 He does actually, you interested in a dozen pair of tights?
Oh wow 🤣🤣
😂😂😂
@paulecosse well maybe see someone about your pishing on the bus and you won't smell it. Always one miserable git who have no respect for their surroundings.
A snowball with good vanilla ice cream and raspberry sauce is great, called a maccallum in Scotland. Lovely
Snowball cocktail
It's just a snowbaw at the van 😂
I’ll have to try it next time 🥳
@@GM-tw4el just a snobaw is 1 snowball no ice cream
The deep fried Mars bar is honestly a tourist thing. Nobody in Scotland eats them. Well.....nobody that's gonna live to see thirty, anyway.
Tablet, on the other hand, is indeed our national sweety.
For the most part, buses and public transport are kept pretty clean in Scotland. Unless the bus and/or train is very old, or it's just had some football fans traveling it. You're sitting in what looks like a very new bus. Surprised about the announcement for face masks, though. Facemasks haven't been mandatory in Scotland for a long time, now.
The cone on the statue is a proud Glasgow tradition and is actually a sign of affection. The local council used to try and take the cone off, but someone would just put it right back on. So they eventually cave up. The particular street you turn onto after seeing the statue has a lot of really nice restaurants after about ten minutes walk or so, if you happen to head back to Glasgow.
The squirrel mural was by an artist called Smug. He's gone a lot of stuff all over Glasgow. There's a Glasgow Mural Trail where you can do a walk around the city that'll lead you from one big mural to the next, and hit some key sites along the way.
Glad you enjoyed Glasgow. It's a nice old city.
Eddy gallivanting around 😅😅😅😅 love it. Deep fried Mars bar...I loved it...yum
I’ve still never tried one! I guess my Scottishness should be rescinded…
Cause its a English myth and stupid Scottish chips shops fell for that shit
@@clothilde1623probably 90% of Scots have never tried it. Tourists come here and think it’s a common food item that’s ate daily lol
@@gary_248 That’s a good point, I can only think of a single person I know who has tried one, and that was about 20 years ago when they were all the rage (apparently!) 🤷♀️
@@clothilde1623 I’ve heard people say they know of someone who’s tried them but don’t know anyone personally
Wellington was the British commander at Waterloo, he was also a very unpopular prime minister
Glad you liked it bro. Thanks . Well appreciated.
I loved it 🤩
I stay basically across the road and the canal from osprey heights, it's only 1 tower block that sits on its own in the Maryhill area which is the North side of the city, the cafe they always eat in is also nearby too.
So do I 😂
Aww It was lovely to see you in Uddingston, I lived there for 14 years. When you were in Tunnocks you wouldn't have known but when you came out the buildings facing you, 2 streets behind that is the Tunnocks factory.
DRINKING GAME: Every time Eddy says ‘galavanting’ you have to down a shot. Good luck, lol.
Aw mate I’m so glad you had a nice time in Glasgow 🙂 And that you finally tracked down the elusive glass bottle 1901 Irn Bru and the lesser-spotted Tunnocks Snowbaw! Now can you please bottle some of your enthusiasm and positivity and sell it to me?? (Seriously though, you’re such a wonderfully uplifting bloke. It was a genuine joy to see Glasgow through your eyes.)
Next time, please come to Edinburgh, we have phenomenal history and architecture here, fantastic food and drink, and lots of good spooky places too if that’s your bag. Just don’t come during the Festival! It’s like hell on Earth 😖
Ps. Come on the train; that way you can take suitcases of Irn Bru and Tunnocks treats back to Brum 😉
Thanks so much. Looking forward to my trip to Edinburgh 🤩
Eddy comes to Glasgow and puts on 2 stone - that's the way to do it!
Happens to me every time I visit 😂❤🏴
🤣
I'm only 15 mins in and will have to watch the rest later. I nearly had a heart attack at the 'going to try some shite' line! Ye're a good lad Eddy
Oh and PS, the clock tower is at Gallowgate. So called because the public hangings happened there. We stopped that last May!
🤣🤣
Took me 15 minutes before I figured out what that twang was in your Nigerian accent. It's 100% Irish! What a great combination, and a great attitude too. You've gained a new subscriber
Thank you 🤩
I hear geordie and irish coming through in the brothers accent its funny
He grew up in Ireland
What an awesome video. Thank you for coming up to Scotland! 👍
Thanks. It’s an amazing city 🤩
Loved it👍
Great to see this open minded gent enjoying a great City with quite different items to other parts of the World , great innovations like square sausage!!
That cones always there
Great video dude. You have great energy about you, not too over the top and not too chill, just perfect. Ive subbed
I did watch till the end Eddy & enjoyed seeing it all! Looks like you had such a great time there. Makes me really wanna visit Scotland even more!
Those haggis croquettes looked like a 'starter' dish, but still.....Really great value!! 😊🇬🇧 x
The union flag is not Scotlands flag. Take note of that if you want to visit Scotland 🏴 you came across as ignorant.
@@saturn1returns I don’t think the union flag was there to represent Scotland, though the flag represents the UKso represents Scotland too…for now. But the blue background and the white x is the Scottish flag’s contribution to the union flag. I think that they used the union flag though to show that they are from somewhere in the UK.
Are you for real.? @@saturn1returns
@@lynnejamieson2063 😘
It's so nice seeing you enjoy scotland and it's fine original irn bru, hope you enjoy the rest of your stay and everyone has been welcoming ❤🏴
You're 100% correct they done a scene in still game when they where waiting on victors boy coming to visit and they couldn't work out what time as the train horn blew over it.
😂😂😂
You should have thrown a shoe at the neds and shouted "Shut it Tadger!"
:Winston Ingram
Lovely to see you enjoying yourself. My mouth is watering watching you eat that caramel log. I might have to nip out and get some now 😂. That haggis croquettes were well cheap! Now that you've tried haggis, you'll have to try it with neeps and tatties on Burn's night next January. Its so yum!!
I went to see Green Day, Fall out boy and Weezer in Glasgow 2 years ago , i fell ill half way through fall out boy and was taken backstage ( in my head im eighteen and can handle the pit , in reality im 57 and cant anymore) anyway 2 young Glasgow lasses saw my 15 year old daughter looking distressed and after making sure i was being looked after they took care of my daughter for the rest of the night, her first gig too , heading back to bellahouston park this year too , great city, great people
@Simon Campbell Oh my goodness! Why would you go with your kid to a concert" ? Fine going to a concert at any age but with your teenager ? How embarrassing lol .
@@gailismyname4430what's wrong with them spending time with their kid? A bit sad to act like it's something weird.
@@PiroNess I never said there was anything wrong per se with spending time with your kid , whether they're a teen or grown up. I'm a Mother myself and always enjoyed and still enjoy spending time and going days out with my son. However , I think a parent accompanying their kid to a concert (especially a concert aimed specifically at youngsters ) is a step too far . There's nothing sad about my opinion. I bet plenty youngsters wouldn't want a parent hanging around cramping their style . That's life .
@gailismyname4430 greenday has a quite varied crowd... They're not aimed at only youngsters. Christ I know people in their 60s who like greenday who actually attended the same Glasgow gig. Also gigs in the UK usually require kids under 16 to attend with adults anyways so your arguement that its "weird" doesn't really stand there because although some kids would think it's "cramping their style" there are plenty of others who have a good relationship with their parents and actually enjoy going to gigs with them. Don't shame someone else by calling it embarrassing for them to have a healthy relationship with their kid 😂
@@PiroNess Firstly , there's no need to put the lord's name in vain FFS . Also I wasn't " shaming" anyone . I also pointed out I have great relationship with my lovely lad . Go nearly everywhere with him. I'm fully aware that not everyone is so blessed to share a good and close relationship with their kid/ kids . Btw, I stick by my opinion which I'm entitled to ( as are we all ). I also never said that we older folk ( I'm 55 ) can't be fans of the music mentioned ( or any music for that matter ) . I just said , a concert like that is not really where a teen wants a parent hanging around .It's not rocket science and you know very well I'm correct .However , considering I'm Scottish suffice to say I'm fully aware of our UK rules regarding under sixteens to be accompanied by an adult at various events . However I'd bet good money that the majority of older teens are not too happy with that particular rule . Safety first though . I'd go to the ends of the earth to make sure my son was safe . Thankfully he isn't into live concerts anyway , so I don't need to worry about that 😂. We both don't like big crowds .
Glad you liked it son. Loved your video. ❤
Never had a deep fried mars bar and £6.50 robbing buggars😂
Deep fried Mars bars are a retrospective invention. They were invented to illustrate Glasgow's love for deep-fried food. It was meant as a joke but has now become a thing. They didn't exist until about 1995-ish.
Glad you enjoyed yourself mate, you got alot done in a short time! There's loads more you could see, you should visit again and do a wee meetup 😀
Consider yourself an honourary Scotsman! 🏴
Love this guy, his enthusiasm is so infectious
Great video mate, so glad you enjoyed glasgow eddy 🏴🏴🏴🏴🏴
Thanks 🥳
Brilliant Eddie caramel logs are the best 👌 Glad you enjoyed your trip. Your face outside Navids when he offered you that 😂😂😂.
Wee nerds 🤣🤣
@@Eddycheeee Aye, even the neds are kind offering you a draw of thier vape 😂
Love your enthusiasm for everything glad you enjoyed ur stoat about the city
great video Eddy so nice seeing you enjoying your experience in Glasgow and eating all those delicious goodies that we all take for granted
I really enjoyed watching you on your travels. Keep up the good work!
Thanks so much
OOHHH WHAT A BEAUTIFUL LOG MATE! YOUR SO HAPPY, I TELL YOU THOSE EGGS ON TOAST LOOKED DELICIOUS, IT MADE ME HUNGRY! YOU'VE MADE ME FEEL REALLY POSITIVE ABOUT MY DAY NOW, MY HEALTH IS'NT THE BEST SO IT GET'S ME FEELING VERY DOWN. BUT, I FEEL BETTER NOW, GLASGOW REMINDS ME OF ENGLAND, STUNNING TO LOOK AT. WELL I HOPE YOU ENJOYED THE GAME!
Thank you Sarah. Glasgow reminded me so much of Birmingham 🥳
First time seeing this channel and the vibes are incredible, definitely deserve some more views
Love the accent. ‘Deep fried maaaas baaa’ 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
The still game osprey height is in the north of the city in Maryhill.
I'm from Lanarkshire and appreciate your vlog of familiar places. Also appreciated your enthusiasm. It was a joy to watch. 👍
Amazing vlog. Really enjoyed watching your adventures in our lovely city of Glasgow. Your enthusiasm is the best 😂
Yessss,Rangers! I guessed she would say that.😂
I never doubted you would love Glasgow. How could you not!!
🇬🇧🏴
irn bru best thing for hangovers
Clock is Glasgow Cross, and the area is Merchant City. Glasgow is some 850 years old and this is the very centre of Glasgow, where the city originated. Glad you had so much fun, but next time you come back I'd be happy to be your guide. 😊
Hi Eddy, watched your video and must say that I really enjoyed it, your enthusiasm is really infectious. I moved here from London over 30 years ago but couldn't get enough of some of the 'local produce'. I'm going to watch your Dundee vlog next, keep up the good work and keep enjoying yourself and good luck with the channel!
Thank you so much. I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos. Many more to come 🥳🥳
Looks like you had a great day my man in Glasgow. Great video 👏
So glad you enjoyed Glasgow 🏴
You're a joy to watch mate, had me smiling the whole video.
Uddingston local now so gutted I didn't bump into you.
Asking people which team they support tends to terrify people up here though 😂
I went to that resurarnt under Glasgow station, alston, superb place, glad you found it, glad you enjoyed your trip, make me want to go back. We stayed over on way to Oban, another beautiful place. Can't beat Scot rail either..
Great to see you in Glasgow and especially Uddingston my home town. I know you didn't make it to the factory tour but you would have enjoyed seeing it from outside, just round corner from the shop. It has a massive teacake clock outside. Enjoyed your video.
Lynn 👍
Relax and enjoy your visit, keep your eyes on the rooftops some of them are lovely, all in all have fun in our crazy city
Osprdy heights is in maryhill, about 5 miles out the city centre
I'd love to see your reaction from up the highlands
Ah Eddy mate 😂😂 you are so infectious, everyone likes you. Ok, first of all, Navid's shop is across from my aunties house 😂 2nd, Alstons is a restaurant which you would go for a lovely steak ❤ and a date night. 3rd, thw big clock 😂 is down at the Trongate and thw high street. And finally, you Haggis in Alstons was a fancy starter 👌🏽 you would have been better getting a haggis supper in the Blue lagoon where you got your deep fried mars bar 😂 great vlog mate and welcome back anytime 😂
Nice one,the jocks are rum old boys,but generally good people (i'm a patriotic Englishman).it's a lovely country too,enjoy bor!👍💛💚🇬🇧
Why thank you👍💙
Please do not call us ‘Jocks’. It’s a very derogatory term.
Eddie, this video is a JOY to watch. I follow quite a few reactions-type channels from people in different parts of the world, but NOBODY I have ever seen enjoys life like you do! I don't think I have ever seen anyone looking so happy, just wandering around Glasgow - and impressed not only but what there is to see, but by the friendliness of its' residents, by customer service and so on! I'm not from Glasgow myself, but I have spent many happy hours wandering around discovering it just as you did here - and you know what the greatest news is? There's lots more of it to discover! The blue-faced clock on the tall tower you were so impressed by is the Toolboth, and the location is Glasgow Cross, by the way. Many Scottish towns and cities have tollbooths, which were often used as prisons in the past, as well as early police stations and/or places where other local authority functions happenned. Not so impressive, but visible in the background at 12:35 etc. is much smaller, ornate building with the slender column sticking upwards that has a unicorn on top: this is the Mercat (or Market) Cross, which many other towns and cities have too - it is from there that important announcements such as the Proclamation of a new king is formally announced - and therefore last used quite recently... All I can say is, wait til you get to Kelvingrove, Partick and the area around the University of Glasgow - to name just a few! Kelvingrove park is just lovely on a nice day - with the high class Georgian terraces atop its hill, the river running through and - even if you're not into museums and art galleries, Kelvingrove is a must, even to just see inside the building or indeed, hear the daily organ recital at 1pm. Continue up through the lively Dumbarton Road as it passes through the otherwise everyday suburb of Partick and the west end - there are pubs aplenty; or leave the park to the northwest, up University Avenue and cut through to slightly more upmarket Byres Road via the Gothic, vaulted university buildings. At the very top of Byres Road and across Great Western Road you'll find the spectaular botanical gardens with their superb glasshouses - which is another place to go and see for its architectural merits, even if you're not much into what it's there for! The East End is also worthy of a visit - just a short distance under either of the railway arches from the Tollbooth, you'll find the famous Barras Market between these two roads - and Glasgow Green with the Peoples Palace to the south. And there is much else to be seen, too - much of it within the vast parklands in the south of the city ...! And if you ever make it to Edinburgh (or need a guide elsewhere), please give me shout as I'd love to buy you a drink!
Couldn't find the glass irn bru bottles anywhere on England? I'm in the Midlands (about an hour East of Birmingham) and we get the glass bottles... Then again we also go a pub called the Clansman that is frequently visited by the still game cast😅
"Nosy Isa" 😂. Great job mate. Glad you enjoyed our wee crazy town
😂 Love your vid Eddy,spot on but a tenner for fancy bread and a fried egg!?Check out the Val D'oro or Coronation Restaurant near the big clock u like. They will even have snowballs to😅
That modern art gallery is open despite appearances you must visit while here
Eddie sir you bring a warm smile that goes all the way to my heart,
Look up some older Scottish sketch comedy; Absolutely is one,, surreal stuff
Mags rags and bags - radio comedy BBC radio 4
Think you were lucky with the breakfast place; preferred the atmosphere in the second place
That was a really fun video, love your energy pal.
Eddy you make me laugh so much with your fantastic personality and happiness!!! Do you plan to visit anywhere else in Scotland in the future?
Quite a lot of places try to be fancy with their menu’s and presentation, but you can’t beat an old school no thrills restaurant or roll shop imo. A full Scottish breakfast I highly recommend.
Haggis with a whisky sauce is amazing. Either that or haggis neeps and tatties. The croquettes didn’t look bad but it wouldn’t have been my first choice. Glad you enjoyed your time here and hopefully you’ll become a regular visitor.
I haven’t had a deep fried mars bar since the late 90’s. The batter makes the flavour almost indescribable. We definitely have a lot of sweet options up here.
8:25 The trees are Cherry Trees. Cherry blossom in the spring. White or pink flowers.
The part of glasgow with the wall art is the merchant city❤ beautiful area
Really liked that area
Embrace the culture. That’s what I like to see ma man
Great city and one of the friendliest cities on earth. Proud to be a Glaswegian.
Couldn't agree more!
Always wondered who souvenir thimbles were for 🤔 Now I know - they're for Eddy's burd! Glad you had a great time in our city Eddy, your outlook and zest for life is infectious, you've got a like and subscribe from me!
Eddy much love from Ayrshire lang may yer lum reek old friend, don’t eat that fried mars bar shite 😂
I really enjoyed your video. I grew up and went to school in Uddingston. It’s in South Lanarkshire (just outside Glasgow City boundary). I haven’t been in Uddingston since my Dad died 6 years ago. It was nice to get a wee look at the Main Street again. The Tunnock’s shop used to have a tearoom upstairs. A few years ago Tunnock’s were only going to make their prepackaged biscuits, tea cakes etc. and we’re going to stop making cakes but the people of Uddingston protested so Tunnock’s kept baking cakes, sausage rolls etc. for the shop. You missed out the huge Tunnock’s bakery which isn’t too far from the shop at Uddingston Cross. There are some lovely woodland walks down by the Clyde at Uddingston as well as Bothwell Castle which you might have enjoyed.
Welcome to Glasgow mate 👍🏴 enjoy yourself 😎
I love seeing other peoples view of Glasgow.
Cheers for visiting my city Eddy! Loved your vlog and your infectious personality made this an enjoyable watch! "On yer sel" "big yin" just subscribed 👋👋👊
Haggis . Not made from intestines.
From Wikipedia: -
Haggis is a savoury pudding containing sheep's pluck (heart, liver, and lungs), minced with chopped onion, oatmeal, suet, spices, and salt, mixed with stock, and cooked while traditionally encased in the animal's stomach though now an artificial casing is often used instead. According to the 2001 English edition of the Larousse Gastronomique: "Although its description is not immediately appealing, haggis has an excellent nutty texture and delicious savoury flavour".
The Tolbooth at Glasgow Cross/Trongate is at the bottom of the High Street where it meets Argyll Street, was a prison at one stage and the site of a few hangings in the past. You were a stones throw away from one of the best chippies in Glasgow, Merchant Chippie, you broke my heart when you went to the Blue Lagoon!
You are in my home city, ty for your appreciation of it, btw the area with the tall clock is trongate 😊
