      Don't worry about not being liked if you have a America accent try going there if you have a English accent the Scottish want a referendum to leave the UK every year they is one way to get their independence let the English vote on weather they stay in the UK and they will definitely get their independence because the English are fed up with their moning

      So did you go see wild Bill Hickocks statue whilst in Glasgow? Did you go to the green, and see the only building in Glasgow to look like it was removed from Venice? Did you go to what is known a Wallace's well Where he was arrested after the Scottish gave him up? Did you visit the start of the West Highland way? The half sized Hagia Sophia (saint sophia's church just outside Glasgow)? Or did you visit the Clyde mueum? Or the Mackintosh tea rooms in the city centre? I'm English and when up there 3 years ago, I was actually asked by the Scottish tourist board to stay and help visitors to see historic Scotland.

    One thing to remember when touring the UK is that while there are still very many old buildings, a lot of the centres of major cities were badly damaged by German bombing in WWII, so a lot of rebuilding was carried out afterwards. While some of this was begun soon after the war ended, a lot of it didn't begin until the 1970s or even later.

    • @vercingetorix1994
      @vercingetorix1994 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      Glasgow actually saw very little bombing during the war, though nearby Clydebank was terribly damaged by bombs. Sadly most of Glasgow's old buildings were torn down by developers to throw up the motorway, concrete towers and new towns on the outskirts, the initial plan was to tear down the entire city, including Kelvingrove and the University, luckily they didn't have the money to do it

    There are ways into that subway

    But yes - it is fenced off for a reason. If you go 'urban exploring' there you will be doing so at your own risk.
    The line is part of the former 'Glasgow Central Railway'. The southern portion is still open as the route through Exhibition Centre, Anderston, Glasgow Central low level, Argyle St. Etc.
    Personally I'd like to see the section through the Westend to Maryhill Central reopened.

    The UK is world renowned for its collections of most of the fauna of the world, collectors from all the different scientific collections around the UK. Are always actively searching and collecting specimens from all over the world. Kew Gardens is the centre of research for plants and trees in the UK it’s been collecting plants and trees for hundreds of years. It even has the largest floating leafed, leaf size of over 3 or 4 ft diameter, aquatic plant in the world in its own pond at Kew together with that monster flower that only flowers once every however long it is and smells of dead flesh or something delicious to flying things. Look it up, it’s just outside of London open to the public.

    The creature in the museum you found freaky is a great little joke. It is patched together from several other animals and is meant to be a haggis. It is a little animal with its legs shorter on one side so it can run around hills easier. You are right that Queen Street Station is not as impressive as Waverley station but it isn't the main station in Glasgow. That is central station, about a 10 minute walk away and that's impressive in a Victorian, Edwardian way.

    Glasgow got bombed in WW2 and was the most bombed city in Scotland, due to the docks, shipbuilding and industry. Hence the new buildings. Whenever you see new buildings in a big city in the UK, especially 60s and 70s buildings, it’s mostly down to the bombings. Coventry, a medieval city, was flattened by German bombs.

      Peterhead was the most bombed place in Scotland and Aberdeen was bombed more than Glasgow. I'm a Glaswegian, My dad was born in the war and I do not know why you keep coming out with this pish when you have been told before.
      Glasgow was bombed but the damage done to Glasgow was not bombed as much as Greenock or Clydebank. And Clydebank is not Glasgow.
      Peterhead was bombed 28 times. Aberdeen had over 10000 houses bombed. Clydebank and Singer were razed and 325people killed on a single night. 280 were killed in Greenock in May 41.
      Bombs that fell on Glasgow were in Maryhill and other Western areas of the town and over the river in Govan. Now, the areas that were heavily redeveloped were not in the areas that were hit. See that big effin motorway? That wasn't built on bomb sites. That was built right over areas the council knocked down.
      It really pisses me off that people don't know Glasgow and yet think places like Clydebank is part of Glasgow.
      It would be more accurate to say that clydeside was bombed by the Germans and it is totally innacurate to say that Glasgow was the most bombed. A simple look at a map would show which was the easiest for the Germans to hit flying from Norway..
      The worst thing is that you do not even try to defend your erroneous comment but then go on to repeat the same spurious claim on another post.

    One of the best spots that I went to many years ago was in Glasgow was a restaurant called The Buttery that was a converted Glaswegian pub in the middle of a half derelict tenement district just outside the ring road. the building was shored up with huge timbers as the building on one side had been taken down. Walking through the entrance (not the same as now) you had the off-license, where the kids used to congregate in the past waiting for their Ma and Pa to come out and give them a penny for a drink.Through the entrance door to the pub was an original rude screen and around the corner the huge marble bar. The opulence of the Victorian features belies the abject poverty of the streets around. The food in the Buttery was very special and the group I was in laid into the wine cellar. One of the best meals I have ever had.
