Out of all their Scottish expeditions, Shawn and Emmett seemed to enjoy their time in Glasgow the most. They felt as if Glasgow had the most to offer as a destination. To them, it didn't feel phony, dressed-up and touristy, like Edinburgh. It felt like a real place, where areas of the city are still gritty and sketchy. Just a little time ago, Glasgow was home to biggest collection of slums in all of Europe, a fact which can still be witnessed if you make a trip to the city's outskirts. Put it this way, Edinburgh is an established city, and Glasgow is still in its infancy. Exciting things are occurring in the city. Glasgow has a killer music scene (arguably the best in all of Europe), awesome restaurants, a plethora of free museums and attractions and incredible shopping opportunities. While in town, Shawn and Emmett explored Glasgow, stopping in at such attractions as the Gallery of Modern Art, the People's Palace and the Sir Norman Foster's "armadillo". They lodged in true Scottish fashion, above the Babbity Bowster pub, located just off of High St. Included with this post are some photos from Shawn and Emmett's 5 day visit to the exciting and vibrant city of Glasgow.
