If someone said "west end" to me I would consider it to be the area around Byers Road |
My thoughts on the three areas earmarked for the Do. The West End for me is a tad out of the way....and full of students. Finnieston must have been tarted up as it used to be known for women of the night. The Merchant City is a bit too Hooray Henry for me but if you like flashing your Gold card you'll fit in well. :D
Of the three I'd prefer the Merchant City or somewhere close by....the centre is where the action is. |

The Indigo is OK but you could be anywhere. The Grand Central is much more of an iconic hotel. The champagne bar is a great place to people watch and, if you're in the bar later in the evening, you can watch drunk folk running for - and usually missing - their last train home. I know this as I've been one of said drunk folk.

It holds some wonderful memories for me....as does the station. Used to be a decent Chinese restaurant across the road as well.
Count me and Mr Z in for this one. A Glasgow do 15 minutes from home? Can't wait!! |
Put me +1 down as a maybe. Am in in Glasgow often enough that this could work out
|
Put me down as a strong maybe please as I'm now temporarily based a stones throw away from Glasgow for the next 18 months or so.
From Edinburgh, my accent will have no issues on the night...…….ken whata meen? :p |
Hoping to attend if I can arrange a reason to visit my Glasgow based colleagues on the preceding Friday ...

Count me as a firm maybe. There's a 50-50 chance I will be in the UK in late April for a conference. If that comes to be, I'm good with staying the extra day. Should know for sure by mid-February.
|
Unfortunately as that is the weekend of the London Marathon, and I am working as a tour guide (cat herder) I will not be able to attend.
Have fun in Glasgow, SB |
booked
Friday: BA 987 Ba1496 Sunday: Ba1483 BA994 is anybody else in GLA for the whole weekend? Any suggestions for the saturday? somebody interested in a little sightseeing tour? |
