Glasgow Isn’t Worth Visiting? 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 I Had to Find Out for Myself!

Hands down the best Glasgow VLOG I’ve seen in ages. You really get the city and how it makes you feel. I’m Scottish but don’t stay in Glasgow but it’s my favourite city and my favourite people. The city has a slogan “People Make Glasgow”…..and it’s bang on!! Well done.

It's all too easy to shut Glasgow down with the misconceptions of times past and I'm glad these are now actually a thing of the past. Yes, behind the scenes there are the rough area's etc but every city has this. Glasgow is a great city, full of vibrant people, amazing architecture, great food and lots to do. You can jam pack your itinerary or relax and meander and you'll love it regardless. Great video!! Really enjoyed it. Cheers

[@m1klgordon]

Hi Phoebe, by sheer chance I'm the 1000th person to like this vlog. I was born in Glasgow in 1952 then moved to London in 1954. Thirty years later, in 1984, I brought my wife and two kids home. Not to Glasgow but to Dunblane. Forty years on, I'm a widower of 32 years but have a daughter and two granddaughters in London, and a son and latest granddaughter (2 months) in Auckland New Zealand. People often associate Glasgow with negative energy because of its not too distant past. My experience of the city and its people is the same as yours. As soon as step off the platform at Queen Street and into George Square I get a buzz. It's a physical thing and very hard to describe. The Uni, Ashton Lane, Botanic Gardens, Merchant City, and Cathedral all seem to either calm or energise. Sometimes both. I shed a tear watching your Edinburgh episode as you explained about your late gramps. I'm sure part of the energy you felt is part of him. Hope Inverness is good for you and thank you for a wonderful channel. I'm subscribing now. X

[@Colin32269]

So glad we found your channel❤ My wife and live in Ontario Canada, we were in Scotland last summer to visit my family and now(due to insanely high housing prices here) have decided to "give it a go" and move back home(Im born in Falkirk).Currently selling everything off here and we are flying out in March to begin our adventure abroad❤❤❤

@@sandersson2813 Can both our subjective realities exist in the same spaces? And based on my life of well over half a century and having experiences living in vastly different parts of the world and very different cultures in rural, urban, suburban settings- when I say it’s a vibe I don’t think you know what I uniquely know. When I say it’s a vibe Glasgow resonates with ME. I like the overall city and the different people. I like it better than say, San Francisco or San Jose. Maybe you’re so close to it that you don’t know what you have (if you are Glaswegian- which you don’t seem to be). Okay. You win. It’s not a vibe. Sandwiches are not a vibe.

It has no explanatory function to use it like that.

[@ThatNwah3200]

I come from Glasgow and the people here tend to have humour that revolves around self-deprecation. It's easy for a lot of Glaswegians to not recommend their city or say bad stuff about it, purely because it's so common to do so.

I have missed out on a fair bit of what you have seen however. The Botanic Gardens looks amazing. I have had a number of odd experiences there too. What I do love about the place is The Barrowlands. It's an amazing concert venue - very authentic. I'm over again next year, so I may well book my flight over for a bit earlier to see some sights I have missed out on.

Public transport is great too, lots of trains and one of the world's oldest subways that has barely changed since it was built. Also great for cycling, lots of paths and routes that take in the sights and spotting the many locations used in movies.

Great blog Phoebe. But you should have visited the university cafe. The oldest ice cream cafe and chippy in Glasgow run by the same family for decades. You definitely missed out on that one

[@Neoublie84]

I live across fr the botanic Gardens. You should have went for a walk along the kelvin River. Nice peaceful walk 👍

Fun fact about Glasgow: While Nelson Mandela was a prisoner in his own country he was awarded the Freedom of the City of Glasgow. The city council also changed the name of St. George's Place in the city to Nelson Mandela Place to embarrass the South African government as their Consulate's offices were located there.

@@orraman5427 I remember the name change.....the South Afican Consulate was raging having to put Nelson's name on all their correspondence ....lol....Nelson loved it though when he visited.

God, I'm currently painting that car park across from Sugo on night shift (I work for NCP)... you should have popped in there for a very good chance of a culture shock in the stairwell.

I can't believe you were in Glasgow Phoebe!!! omg I wish I would have bumped into you

[@travelforphoebe]

hahaha I'm very very shneaky ;) oooooh you know I LOVE pizza!

Amazing thing showing the rest of the world Scotland and that there is more to the U.K than just London! If you get a chance, head down to Newcastle (my home town), promise you'll enjoy it as much as Glasgow and Eburgh!!! 😊

Thanks so much for watching :)

The statue of the DoW with the cone on his head is a Glasgow icon 😀

[@MurrayMcMillan73]

Loved this video. Glasgow is indeed amazing, next time jump on the train to Gourock- 45 mins away and the best views

[@travelforphoebe]

Thanks for watching! :)

I'm so pleased you enjoyed Glasgow University, it's one of my favourite places too.

[@garyrobertson4990]

@travel for Phoebe probably to late or already mentioned there's 3 open to the public museums on the university of Glasgow campus and a 4 th that you have to make an appointment for, glad you liked the second city of the empire 👍

[@travelforphoebe]

Thanks for the tips anyway - I'll save them for next time :)

The Social hub is opposite the "Panoptican theartre",where comedian Stan Laurel,made his stage debut!

Provand’s Lordship built in 1471 the oldest house in Glasgow is in your video, just down from the Cathedral.

Hash in Glasgow is clearly very different to hash in Amsterdam 😎 Cool video, Glasgow does indeed get a bad wrap compared to Edinburgh. Onya for doing your bit to bust the myth!

[@travelforphoebe]

hahahahahaha

In Scotland, when the ice cream van would come round, you would get a 99, scoop of vanilla ice cream in a cone, with raspberry sauce

[@travelforphoebe]

Ahhhhhh!! Thank you sooo much! That makes a lotta sense ☺️🙏🏼

[@Snick989]

great video, glad you had a lovely time here :)

[@colinmathie2710]

You got decent weather for your trip, which is a rarity here, even in summer.

[@bazstravels8986]

Well done Phoebe, should have come to Southside and seen the lovely village of Giffnock. You’ve done a great job for the Glasgow tourist board!

[@travelforphoebe]

Thanks for watching :) Have a great day!

@@travelforphoebe thanks Phoebe, will continue to do. I’m off to Shanghai & Bali today. Have seen your report from Bali too. Thanks again

Thanks for great and honest review 👌

I live in Glasgow and take it a wee bit for granted. Glad you enjoyed yersel - it's a fantastic city with lots and lots to do. Unlike Edinburgh, it doesn't rip you off at every turn.

[@travelforphoebe]

I loved it :)

[@RobMagill]

I have always wanted to visit Glasgow and Scotland and this video just made it worse. What a beautiful city and it’s special to see it through your cameras. I can understand why someone actually from a place would say “why bother.” I sometimes feel that way about my hometown (maybe because it is the #1 tourist destination), but glad you went anyway and got to look at it through fresh and positive eyes. Also, know what you mean about getting a “vibe” from a great place. Love that feeling while traveling. Really like you keeping the “mm hmm” while eating the ice cream-that’s a positive review if ever we saw one!! Thanks for not letting us fall off the table (also, glad you kept that in. Very funny!). Ah!! Erin freaked out when you said your Gma made you bubble and squeak…her Gaga (grandma who was from Brisbane) made her the same when she was a kid!! She made it for me once too. How cool! (And a great dish!) Looking forward to hearing why the trip meant so much to you. Hope those aren’t bad tears. Rob&Erin PS: sorry we’ve been absent of late-we’ve seen all your latest videos but, between work and hurricanes, I’ve just not had time to even sit and say “Hi”. But all is better now. See you in the comments again next time! 😊

I was there 38 years ago and again May 2024. my opinion is Edinburgh is the best and my son 24 and I felt Glasgow just want worth it either, delisted the five star hotel which was fantastic in every way... Kimpton has the best spa, pool, sauna, snow room, etc facilities,,,, plus happy hour is free each evening.

[@travelforphoebe]

Thanks for watching :) Have a great day!

[@itsthegoat]

Revels were great until they started to put raisins in them 10 or so years ago. Great video! I spent a lot of time in Glagow a long time ago but not been there since 2008. Definitely need to head back soon.

[@travelforphoebe]

Thanks for watching all the way to the end :)

[@gordonhowell9701]

I lived in Edinburgh but worked in Glasgow for 5 years, consider i got the best of both worlds. But you have missed the real Glasgow - it is the people. You need to go into one of the many classic, world class pubs and strike up conversations, or locals on the street - all of whom will make you feel like a privileged insider for spending you precious time in their city. Oh, and you had lunch virtually next door but skipped one of the most iconic places in Glasgow- the famous Ubiquitous Chip! But your enthusiasm truly conveys the charm of this overlooked, underrated gem of a city!

[@furryrug5998]

Great vlog of my hometown Phoebe! ❤

[@travelforphoebe]

I'm so happy you liked it :)

[@Verdent777]

As a Glaswegian don’t listen to people who talk down their own city. Fantastic city!!

Live 15 minutes from Glasgow and learnt a lot, thanks!
