ATTRACTIONSGlasgow Cathedral
The city's cathedral is dedicated to St. Mungo
and represents a brilliant example of
pre-Reformation Gothic architecture. The present
building is in the Gothic "First Pointed" style
and dates from the 13th century, and is now home
of the Church of Scotland.
Burrell Collection
This impressive collection of noteworthy pieces
of art are housed in a museum in the Pollok
Country Park. They were originally owned by a
great art aficionado Sir William Burrell who
later donated his beloved collection to the
city. Visitors will find here everything from
medieval furniture to oriental porcelain.
Glasgow School of Art
The Glasgow School of Art is often lauded as one
of the best works of the Glasgow-born architect
Mackintosh. The exterior reflects a high
precision of the architect's style, and the
interior is no less stunning.

kids and kid-at-hearts. More than 40 exciting
rides as well as numerous indoor entertainment
await you at the M & D's Theme Park.
Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum
The Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is the
pride of Glasgow and also a famous attraction of
the city. Opened since 1902, this Victorian
cathedral-turn-museum is very popular with
school and private tours for its invaluable
collection of Scottish and European art.
George Square
Usually referred to by the Glaswegians as "Red
Square", George Square is often used as a venue

open space in the city center. There are several
statues of important figures in history here,
and is a popular meeting point as well.

gorgeous Georgian house in Britain. With the
