Located on the eastern side of Loch Lomond from the popular village of Balmaha is a short climb to the top of Conic Hill. Here you will find a spectacular view of Loch Lomond & it’s beautiful islands. The beauty of this hike is that you don’t need to go all the way up to take in the generous views, as they will start unfolding at your feet from a third of the way up.

A must-visit sightseeing opportunity for families, the Glasgow Science Centre is a great way to spend time together. Located in the waterfront area near the Riverside Museum, this popular attraction is housed in a suitably striking titanium-clad building shaped like a ship's hull and offers no-end of hands-on fun and exploration.
Notable exhibits include human health, technology, and general scientific principles, along with a variety of laboratory-type stations where kids can attempt a few practical experiments based on their newly acquired knowledge.
Also worth checking out here are the planetarium, an Imax cinema, and a science theater, where regular lectures and talks are held. Although rarely open, ask about admission to the Glasgow Tower. Claimed to be the world's tallest freely-rotating tower, it's a worthwhile experience and offers great views over the surrounding area.

Glasgow Cathedral is the oldest cathedral in mainland Scotland and the oldest building in Glasgow. It is the only medieval cathedral in Scotland to have survived the Reformation virtually intact. The building is beautiful with stunning architecture on display.
A great visit for any guest in Glasgow to see along with the neighbouring Necropolis.
