We left the hotel after breakfast. Our hotel is up a hill. The streets go down here kinda like in Edinburgh. Makes for nice views.
Suburbs.
Squares.
We visited the
Glasgow cathedral.
Next to the Glasgow cathedral is the Glascow Necropolis. Marjolein found nice smelling flowers on top of the bridge leading up to the necropolis.
The Necropolis is a huge graveyard established in 1833, where every single grave is a statue. Some more impressive than others.
There are a lot of statues...
Back in town we found the olympic rings in George square.
It was boiling hot.
We were s'posed to meet someone for dinner but he didn't show up coz he had the sneezies or something. Bit stupid. Had a nice dinner though with some old fashioned live jazz musi. Pity one of the musicians kept going solo as long as somebody clapped. And there was ALWAYS someone...
In the evening we went to a ceilidh (music/dance night). It was the end of the
Piping live festival. We were a bit early ;-) The ballroom looked great though. It's a converted old market place.
The Vatersay boys played (one of them is actually a girl).
And folks danced.
I didn't dance myself because I didn't know any of them. But after paying close attention, I think I could manage one or two ;-)
Also the
Lorne MacDougall Band played.
And people danced even harder. It was a fun evening!
