Don't worry about not being liked if you have a America accent try going there if you have a English accent the Scottish want a referendum to leave the UK every year they is one way to get their independence let the English vote on weather they stay in the UK and they will definitely get their independence because the English are fed up with their moning

So did you go see wild Bill Hickocks statue whilst in Glasgow? Did you go to the green, and see the only building in Glasgow to look like it was removed from Venice? Did you go to what is known a Wallace's well Where he was arrested after the Scottish gave him up? Did you visit the start of the West Highland way? The half sized Hagia Sophia (saint sophia's church just outside Glasgow)? Or did you visit the Clyde mueum? Or the Mackintosh tea rooms in the city centre? I'm English and when up there 3 years ago, I was actually asked by the Scottish tourist board to stay and help visitors to see historic Scotland.

One thing to remember when touring the UK is that while there are still very many old buildings, a lot of the centres of major cities were badly damaged by German bombing in WWII, so a lot of rebuilding was carried out afterwards. While some of this was begun soon after the war ended, a lot of it didn't begin until the 1970s or even later.

[@vercingetorix1994]

Glasgow actually saw very little bombing during the war, though nearby Clydebank was terribly damaged by bombs. Sadly most of Glasgow's old buildings were torn down by developers to throw up the motorway, concrete towers and new towns on the outskirts, the initial plan was to tear down the entire city, including Kelvingrove and the University, luckily they didn't have the money to do it

The Train Station you wanted to get into wasn't actually a Subway - It was part of Glasgow's main lines but like Central and Queen Street Stations, the lines duck down below ground level to bypass the city. It's actually accessible, it emerges from the Tunnel Entrance by the River Kelvin if you go to one of the corners of Botanic Gardens. You can (unbelieveably) also get into it via one of the flower beds in Botanic Gardens which has caved in into the old station entrance steps. I was down in it and walked the legnth of the tunnel about 10 years ago. The subway in Glasgow (Called the Underground) is it's own independent system and only emerges above ground level at one point (the Stock maintenance Facility) - to the best of my knowledge, it isn't actually connected to the main line (it's tracks are a different Guage and therefore incompatible with mainline traffic)

Walking through the entrance (not the same as now) you had the off-license, where the kids used to congregate in the past waiting for their Ma and Pa to come out and give them a penny for a drink.Through the entrance door to the pub was an original rude screen and around the corner the huge marble bar.

Glasgow got bombed in WW2 and was the most bombed city in Scotland, due to the docks, shipbuilding and industry. Hence the new buildings.

[@BrokenBackMountains]

Peterhead was the most bombed place in Scotland and Aberdeen was bombed more than Glasgow. I'm a Glaswegian, My dad was born in the war and I do not know why you keep coming out with this pish when you have been told before. Glasgow was bombed but the damage done to Glasgow was not bombed as much as Greenock or Clydebank. And Clydebank is not Glasgow. Peterhead was bombed 28 times. Aberdeen had over 10000 houses bombed. Clydebank and Singer were razed and 325people killed on a single night. 280 were killed in Greenock in May 41. Bombs that fell on Glasgow were in Maryhill and other Western areas of the town and over the river in Govan. Now, the areas that were heavily redeveloped were not in the areas that were hit. See that big effin motorway? That wasn't built on bomb sites. That was built right over areas the council knocked down. It really pisses me off that people don't know Glasgow and yet think places like Clydebank is part of Glasgow. It would be more accurate to say that clydeside was bombed by the Germans and it is totally innacurate to say that Glasgow was the most bombed. A simple look at a map would show which was the easiest for the Germans to hit flying from Norway.. The worst thing is that you do not even try to defend your erroneous comment but then go on to repeat the same spurious claim on another post.

So Edinburgh Waverley Station handles all rail traffic in Edinburgh and is, in consequence, very large. Queen st. Station was built by the 'Edinburgh and Glasgow' Railway and initially just handled their services, one of 4 major Glasgow stations (Buchanan Street, St. Enoch & Central bring the others) Various line and Station closures and amalgamations of routes over the years means that today practically all services to the North and west of Scotland, along with the Edinburgh via Falkirk shuttle service, are now handled at Queen st. Central is the other surviving Glasgow terminus, handling services from Edinburgh via Shotts & Carstairs as well as services to the south amd west of Scotland and into England via the west coast mainline Glasgow Central is larger and boasts the same kind of impressive architecture and overall roof as Waverley.

[@fionaj8668]

I was thinking about the Kelvin walkway as well. I love it.

That painting is PHENOMENAL…I saw it at St Mungos many years ago & then again in ..Kelvingrove…I was stunned to learn Dali had painted it…ts a real tour de force!

We used to go in the subway as kids - it didn’t have such a high fence then. It would lead you to the barrowlands. Very dark as i remember,and we used to scare the bejesus out of each other.

For a fairer comparison, you'd need to compare Waverley with Glasgow Central Station. Queen Street is much smaller and has relatively few facilities.

[@f0rth3l0v30fchr15t]

Its also been extensively rebuilt; Central is still the very Victorian ironwork. But for my money, Wemyss Bay has both beat.

How am I only seeing this now? KZbin sort ur algorithm out! Glad u guys enjoyed my hometown, I was born literally 5mins from the Kelvingrove art gallery & museum and lived my early years a stone's throw from the Kelvinhall subway station. I'm so proud of my hometowns policy of ALL museums and galleries being free admission as I'm sure you'd agree they could charge a fee comparable to similar UK tourist spots. Glasgow is much cheaper and friendlier not to mention has more to do than our expensive tourist trap of a 'Capital '. Hope u guys enjoyed yourselves and spread the word.😁 Here's tae us, wha's like us 🍻👍

Glad you had a good time in Glasgow! You made a really good choice in going to Kelvingrove, it's great to spend a bit of time in. The Subway is nicknamed the Clockwork Orange! Also a great choice going to the Botanic Gardens! A lot of people don't even know about that old railway station in the gardens, so it was good you found it! There's pictures online from people who managed to get down there. People started holding raves in the old railway tunnels so they made it really really difficult to get down to! I went to Star Trek convention in that hotel many many years ago! Glasgow's main station is Central and it's much nicer than Queen Street. Alas the trains I get to Glasgow usually go in to Queen Street! Next time you're in Scotland, just remember that the highlands are just over an hour away by public transport!

[@karenblackadder1183]

Was that convention in April 1982?

[@sueKay]

@@karenblackadder1183 No, 2001 or 2002 roughly. We're there conventions there in the 70s too?

[@joc6516]

A nice video. I was wondering if you would pop into Glasgow. So many people just visit Edinburgh, which is a pity. Anyway, a couple of things in regards to transport. The station you used was Glasgow Queen Street, the smaller of the two main terminus stations in the city. The main one is Glasgow Central which is much larger. You would have walked past it at some point as it has an amazing elevated section over the city streets. The other thing was the terminology of their metro system. The Subway is the same thing as the Tube or Underground, it's a Metro system (which is more common a term to be found in France, but one that originated in London from their first line, the Metropolitan line). Anyway, a subway is a tube is a metro is an u-bahn etc. Lots of different names for the same concept. They don't even have to be underground - as long as it's segregated (many are elevated). Anyway... hope that clears a few things up.

I haven't seen anybody say but most large museums in the UK are free to enter and very few that do charge charge anything substantial. There's a belief here that access to their treasure trove of education is important and enriching.

I've literally just discovered your channel this afternoon. I subscribed to a young American guy's Channel (Its JPS) who has recently returned from a UK visit. I checked for his upload today but, before he'd uploaded, the 'magic' KZbin algorythm highlighted your Glasgow visit. I've subsequently checked out a few of your uploads and they have been very engaging and entertaining. You have a new subscriber - and I really look forward to discovering more! Best wishes from the UK.

If you want to see more dinosaur related stuff then visit a place along the Jurassic Coast, it’s in Southern England and stretches from Devon to Dorset. There are museums and fossil walks and all sorts of stuff to do along there, plus lots of sun and beaches!

Hope you gave the barber a nice tip. You can get a similar price in London but it is knowing where to go and a lot harder to find off the beaten track there.

[@OfficialModest]

You just seem like such a lovely couple! If you visit the U.K. again you should try some of the Yorkshire cities such as Sheffield or Leeds, both beautiful cities rich in culture and plenty to do! Whenever I'm in Sheffield I hop over to a place called Bradfield (lower bradfield) as it's such a beautiful little village with a gorgeous reservoir called Dam Flask which you can walk all the way around and watch people sailing and have a picnic! In Leeds of course its the museums and parks but the nice part of the city centre is also gorgeous! Then head over the Pennines towards Alton Towers our largest theme park which is so unique and gorgeous.

[@gillcawthorn7572]

You will often find Botanic Gardens, in the major cities and mostly in quite impressive buildings and glasshouses. In Victorian times ,as travel in exotic places was becoming possible ,rich people interested in what was known as Natural Philosophy would pay botanists to travel and bring or send back plants that were unknown in Europe . These would be housed in specially constructed buildings ,as you saw in Glasgow .Of course ,now the plants are nor considered as having the same rarity value as then ,but this plant collecting was the start of the huge collection in Kew Gardens in London ,which holds a worldwide seed bank ,in case of climate change ,logging ,etc and plant extinction.
