The best, most 'Scottish' pubs are around the Kelvingrove area; you'll find a nice mix of locals and tourists, an extraordinary whisky range and quite often live music! On Argyle Street in the west end, roughly 30 minute's walk from the apartment, there is The Ben Nevis, The Park Bar and the Islay Inn. They are all in the area that the Highlanders would stay when they came down to the big city. All three have free live music on Thursday to Sunday. The Islay will be more rock, the Ben Nevis more traditional and the Park Bar the most lively.

Parks & Nature
A surprisingly easy day out from Glasgow Central train station - a train and ferry ticket can be bought at the station and within about an hour and a half you're on the Isle of Arran, known as "Scotland in miniature!". All the majestic highland scenery your Instagram will thank you for, within a stone's throw of the city. Can't beat it. Great for anyone - you can make the day as active as you like (climb Goat Fell if you're keen!)
