GLASGOW
45 minutes from the cottage is GLASGOW, Scotland's largest city, one
of the liveliest and most cosmopolitan destinations in Europe - a
city of culture, a city of design, a city for everyone! Glasgow is
one of Europe's great cultural destinations. Its museums and galleries
are complemented by the beautiful countryside which runs along the
River Clyde from its source, naturally, a major city such as Glasgow
offers a very wide shopping choice, notably around Buchanan Street,
Argyle Street or Sauchiehall Street. In addition, while the St Enoch
Centre represents the modern trend in covered shopping and is one
of the largest malls in Europe, Princes Square has added an elite
note, with a sophisticated ambience appropriate for a style-conscious
city. The area known as the Merchant City - recalling the entrepreneurs
who traded with the Americas in the 17th and 18th centuries - is now
a district of small select shops. Notable here is the Italian Centre,
a concentration of Italian fashion designer shops in a conversion
of a handsome Merchant City building. By contrast, The Barras near
Glasgow Green is part flea market, part entertainment and very much
a part of Glasgow life.
EDINBURGH

festival. There is a vibrant city life and loads of beautiful architecture, good restaurants and shopping.
