Glasgow from Queen‘s Park

I cycled in Glasgow and tried out the buses. Glasgow has some proper cycle lanes, separated from traffic. The drivers are polite and the cyclists obey the traffic lights.

Comprehensive bus service.

Crossing the Clyde

I visited the old Govan Church following a recommendation.

Old Govan church.

Fascinating old grave stones from 800 AD onwards are displayed in the church.

I had a proper explanation of the history of the kingdom of Strathclyde from the guide. A language close to Welsh was spoken here.

Meanwhile across the river.
Also in Govan.

Had to wait for the bus for a long time due to a Scotland international friendly messing up the buses.

Alley way near Queen‘s Park

There are some surprising places in Glasgow.

Finished the day with some food.

Lots of food options around.
