Glasgow wasn't as nice as Edinurgh. It has the feeling of a city still trying to regain the glory that it had during the industrial revolution, but hasn't has since.
But the city does have some nice legends. Glasgow was supposed founded by St. Mungo. (brilliant name).

This is the Crest of Glasgow, except normally its says "let it flourish" underneath. The symbols on the crest are 1)the tree that never grew 2)the bird that never sang 3)the bell that never rang and 4)the fish that never swam. They are all related to miracle performed by St. Mungo. He resurrected the bird from the dead. The bell was built in his honor, but took a hundred or so years to do. I can't remember the tree and the fish is a long story. There were this married couple and he gave her a ring. For some reason she gave the ring to some one else. He found out, took it from the other person and threw it in the Clyde(glasgow's river). THen he asked to see the ring. She freaked out and went to Mungo, who sent another monk to go fish in the river. when the monk caught a fish, Mungo gutted the fish and the ring was inside and everyone lived happily every after.

This is Glasgow Cathedral.

THis is a cute building in Glasgow.

This is the People's Palace of Glasgow. It has a winter garden. which is a giant green house with a little cafe in it.
Glasgow wasn't the mose exciting place. What I really wanted to do in Glasgow was see the petrified forest-it's more like a whole bunch of petrified tree trunks. But still it's really cool. Anyway, sad thing being, it was closed for the winter.
So that's Glasgow.
