Glasgow tips sought
 
My husband and I are going to Scotland for 10 days in March for a family get-together, but we're escaping for the weekend of March 10-12 to Glasgow to visit the art galleries, museums and theatre. Any suggestions for a good hotel (moderate to luxurious, perhaps a little romantic?) We'll have a car. Also, suggestions for the art galleries, museums or theatre? <BR>Thanks! <BR>Mary

Mary, <BR>I love Glasgow! A weekend isn't quite <BR>long enough but here are some ideas: <BR>- Take a few hours to walk around <BR>the heart of the city to look (up) <BR>at the beautiful array of architecture. <BR>- As to museums, Burrell/Pollok House <BR>and/or Museum of Modern Art would be <BR>my choice for a short visit. <BR>- Go to the Scotia Bar at night to <BR>meet some nice locals and hear great <BR>live folk music. <BR>You will find plenty to do -- the <BR>Glaswegians are the best part of <BR>Glasgow. Sorry, can't help with <BR>hotels as I haven't stayed in any there. <BR>

Try the Malmaison hotel. Expect to pay from £75-100 for a double. This chain offers 'boutique' standards at reasonable prices and have now started to spring up in other U K cities. www.malmaison.co.uk should be their website.

Absolutely no choice- 1 Devonshire Gardens. That's what it's called as well as its address.. Still the poshest night I've had anywhere. Phone 0141 339 2001. Excellent cuisine too. <BR> <BR>The Lighthouse is the exhibition of choice at the moment- based on last yer's City of Architecture status. <BR> <BR>Enjoy. Ask again for any more info. <BR> <BR>
