Don't miss out on the BEST AREA of GLASGOW! | 24 hrs in Southside & Shawlands

[@simonmountney]

This was the first time I've visited Glasgow and never went to the center. No regrets, it was lovely in the Southside :)

[@peterboyd7149]

As someone from Glasgow I would recommend a visit to great western road and Byers road. If you get the Subway and get off at Kelvinbridge or Hillhead. Glasgow botanic gardens are across great western road from the start of Byers road. There is also Oran Mor a church converted into a pub and gig venue glad you liked the southside.

[@daphneduryea9136]

Any recommendations for hotels?

[@peterboyd7149]

There is Citizen M or the Bagpiping centre in Glasgow city centre. You have the Grovenor Hotel in West end of city there are many more Hotels in the city. Hope this helps a little.

[@daphneduryea9136]

@@peterboyd7149 Yes. Thank you for replying.

[@Gerryonthetube]

Thanks for that! It was nice to see what's been happening in the place of my birth. Nice new businesses, fresh ideas and alongside the beautiful old architecture and historic places of interest. It has always been a buzzing area socially, and I'm glad to see it still is. Made me feel a little bit nostalgic - I haven't been back for over ten years.

[@johnnymurty5675]

I always get very envious of people who stay in Edinburgh when I watch one of your videos. However hats off to you and Simon, as having lived in Glasgow all my life and the south side for 12 years now you guys made it look good! Beautifully filmed and put together to bring out the best in the south side.

[@Kakibot]

We were extremely lucky with the weather - but I still think that the fun vibe of Southside would shine through even in the more typical wetter weather! (I gotta say the sun was putting everyone we met into such a good mood though! So that was another thing that made us enjoy the city vibe even more than usual!)

Such a good video on the southside, thank you Kat!!! Glasgow truly has so much to offer visitors in every quadrant of the city - I hope your viewers will make the most of their next visits here ❤

[@VR-Stories26]

Thank you for this wonderful video. It was a joy to watch. Once I lived in Glasgow, the west end and southside and it was lovely to see the auld place although many changes. I have heard so many good things about BAM so much so I must visit it when I come over. (I no longer live in Glasgow) Best wishes.

[@NicoleImportico]

Watching this has me really excited for moving from Edinburgh to Glasgow. Will definitely be checking out all of your recs!!

[@johnscullion7685]

You have not been anywhere if you have not been to Glasgow I have lived here all my life im 67 now and still love my city to this day and its very true when it's said that people make glasgow I love my glasgow and there realy is no place like home so come and see us your all welcome with open arms and love ❤️ 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅

[@TheGrowler55]

Well done, at last someone has finally realised that there is an enormous City out of the West End and City Centre, Glasgow City Region has 1.8 Million People . 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏😎

[@Kakibot]

I know right? It’s unbelievable to me that people miss out on all this! Unfortunately it doesn’t help that immediately south of the river you get that industrial feeling strip that doesn’t quite invite first time visitors for exploring beyond the Clyde. ./ very worth it though!!

[@jomcintyre5557]

I'm moving to Glasgow and will be over in the Southside, this was a lovely video and I noted some cool spots to check out.

[@sjyoung]

Nice to see lots of cool places to visit next time I’m in the Southside. Re the Burrell Collection, the building isn’t new, they just refurbished the previous one (which opened in 1983) and increased the space for exhibits by converting basement storage areas to gallery space.

[@Kakibot]

Aaah ok, thank you for the info! Now that I am thinking about it, it does have a bit of an 80s look, but in the best way possible!

[@usernamehere91]

Awesome! I was thinking about going to Glasgow and this video comes perfectly ♥️

[@Kakibot]

There seems to be SO. MUCH. TO DO over there! I'm feeling a lot of day trips in my near future! Hope you have a great time when you go!

[@brittscott4673]

Really nice video.👍 It would be cool to see the houses on the Southside of Glasgow in the Pollock Shields area. I have seen a few of them and they look really nice.It looks like an idyllic neighbor

[@Rendell001]

There are some beautiful neighbourhoods on the Southside and a number of them run into one another in a swathe. Pollockshields borders Strathbungo to the east of Queens Park and runs down to Maxwell Park which borders Pollock Country Park to the South. To the West of Pollock Park, on the other side of the motorway, there is the area of Dumbreck which borders Bellahouston Park. Going South of Queens Park / Shawlands you're into areas like Newlands, Cathcart and heading to the city's border with Giffnock. Check out some of these areas on Streetview for a taste of these areas.

[@bethaudet9007]

Going to Glascow in December! Excited!

[@louisescott4333]

Fantastic city. I'm having another holiday there in September. I'd like to visit Queen's Park, I love that view.

[@franninchen]

The Pollock Park was the only place I saw the lovely highland cows in 2019. I loved petting them - they are the cutest. 😁

[@adventureswithsmiles6315]

Used to live in Hillhead, Glasgow, Scotland in early 2000s, Canadian originally and still. Last time in Scotland 2015-16. No Clue about the Southend back then, next time I hope to get there one day and visit the SouthEND NOw. Except I'm on a very small budget for the visit, what is there for camping spots around Glasgow, would that be cheaper then a Hostel? What are the rules for setting up in parks?

[@peterboyd7149]

You could do a tour of Glasgow's museums. The Kelvingrove art galleries with Kelvingrove park to have a rest in. The people palace on Glasgow green it has a nice tea house in a massive greenhouse. The museum of religion next to The cathedral with a wee tour of the oldest house in Glasgow that Mary Queen of Scots stay in just next to it. The Transport museum then cross the river on the bridge to the science museum. Lots to see in Glasgow. I almost forgot tenements house a view into what a tenement used to look like. There is the museum of modern art which has the Duke of Wellington statue outside which always has I traffic cone on his head. I love my home city. It is rough around the edges but the people have heart of gold. Glaswegians sound angry to a lot of people but if you ask for directions chances are they will take you to where you are going.

[@meganlowden2945]

Hi, do you have a video on best places to stay when visiting Glasgow? I may have missed it.

[@AlexanderMclntosh]

Brilliant city

[@jimbo5_7]

Across the road from the taco shop is a vegan café that has the best samosas I've ever had. Last time I was down on Victoria Road the queue was enormous for the taco shop and no one at the vegan café. If only they knew what they were missing.

[@Kakibot]

Will have to test it out in the future! Can't wait to go back to Glasgow, will keep this on my list .)

[@DariaKropop]

i love Glasgow!!! Havent been since 2020 need to go asap!

[@Kakibot]

Aaah same! Glasgow was one of the very last pre-lockdown trips for us, eek. Do you have any favourite spots outside of the city centre? I've been to the Uni area a little bit but I have a hunch that it would be another good neighbourhood to explore more in-depth!

[@KhakhaKhakha-ds4ff]

I would suggest Bearsden, millingavie and ​Glasgowfort. Give them a visit you wouldn't regret that 😉@Kakibot

Just thought I would mention St Luke and the winged ox another church converted into a pub and gig venue in the gallowgate area of Glasgow. I saw the band Mudhoney at St. Luke's then went to a few bar nearby the gallowgate is a tough area but St. Luke's is well worth a visit.

[@peterboyd7149]

St. Luke's has good selection of beers like Elvis juice and other interesting beers not for the faint hearted.

The algorithm is not in favour of Glasgow content so it probably gets lost in the vast seas of other content .( but I'm hoping to come back every now and then and shoot more content - as you say, it's such a fun place, with quite a different vibe, and people should consider spending more time visiting and exploring it even if they're based/visiting other Scottish cities!
