Glasgow!

[Mummy May]

Hello! So we always go upto Loch Lomond a couple of times a year for a little break away, and every time we go we just relax (which is amazing!) and shop! but I'm looking for recommendations for some touristy things to do and places to see. We don't mind a little bit of a drive, we usually drive half an hour to Braehead anyway lol! We're going November 10th - 13th xx

Glen Coe - Absolutely stunning
Inveraray - Old Jail to see, Castle
Oban - Seal/Whale Boat Tours
Isle of Bute - Mount Stuart (think that's what it's called)
Argyll's Secret Coast (head to Tighnabruich (sp!), there is a stunning view over Argyll & Isle of Bute)

We went to Loch Eck in August.

The transport museum is fab, it's been recently moved and renovated and is a really good day out

I love Aberfoyle and Calender, nothing in perticular but there's nice little touristy shops.

New Lanark is good too, it's an old mill that's been converted to a museum x
