Glasgow

 
We decided to leave our campervan at a campsite and train into the city in order to avoid the nightmare of finding a park. We spent the afternoon looking around the city and headed back on the train once we had exhausted our eyes and legs. Glasgow is really nice, it had a nice feel about it as well.

Statue of the first minister of Scotland - Donald Dewar. The first meeting of the Scottish parliament was held on 12 May 1999 with Donald Dewar as its first minister. This was the first time the country's legislature had met in Edinburgh since the Treaty of Union with England had adjourned the first parliament on 25 March 1707 , and transferred Scotland's law making process and MP's to Westminster.
