Great City and great People, I love Glasgow 👍💙😎🇬🇧
So what where you guys expecting? You missed a trick not popping into Kelvin grove Art Gallery & Museum. Put that & transport museum on your list if you ever return.
Great video! Glasgow is so underrated so it's always good to see a video that does the city justice!
Couldn't agree more! We will definitely be back as we have so much more to explore 😊
Not Kelvinbridge Park, it's right name is Kelvingrove Park.
We live in the south side of Glasgow and forget just what a great city it really is.....Kelvingrove art gallery and museum of transport is where you need to check out next time....going to listen to some Blue Nile now and appreciate just how cool a city Glasgow is...!!!!
Fantastic review of Glasgow guys, some really beautiful places to visit here, friendly people, free museums and gardens, those bagels looked yummy 😋 thank you 👍
It was all round fantastic & would love to re visit again. Glad you enjoyed 😁
My brother lives in Stirling, I live down near Dover in SE England. He hasnt been to Glasgow!, when I visited him I went on a day trip to Glasgow and really really had a lovely day. SO much to do and see and it helped it was a sunny day. Deffo plan to visit again, the city was far far better than i ever imagined.
And we also live in Kent so funny we all have been and your brother hasn’t. Doesn’t know what he is missing 😂
The tube is nick named the 'clock work orange"
Its the "Subway", not the "Tube". Only tubes would call it the "Tube"
@@KaiColloquoun-gt7kw ?????
Really looking forward going july 17-20. Troon for Open one day and 2 days in glasgow.
My home city 😊
Its great to see videos like this catching the positive side of Glasgow. Well done guys. Hope you come back again
Thank you! 😃 We will definitely be back as we loved our visit and so much more still to see. Any recommendations for us?
Please tell me they visited kelvingrove Museum 😮it’s within walking distance from the Botanical gardens. If you miss that lads you need to up your research game massively as you missed the Gem in Glasgows crown and it blows everything you visited out the water.
The subway trains are brand new. The first ones were only introduced about 2 months ago and it was only on Friday last week that they took the old 1980s trains out of service.
Great video of my city guys. One thing though, the park is actually called Kelvingrove Park. So called as it's next to the river Kelvin. All of the sports activities in Glasgow parks are free, including equipment. Putting, bowls, tennis, basketball etc. Even croquet! And we have 4 cathedrals. Well done lads.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for clarifying the name of the park, got our Kelvins mixed up 🙈
Prefer Glasgow to Edinburgh every time, nicer folk, not overpriced and some great places to visit, eat and drink
Botanical gardens look amazing. I'm adding Glasgow to our visit list!
Definitely worth the visit especially the botanical gardens
The transport museum is well worth a visit.
Hiya boys fantastic video of glasgow i never thought it is that amazing ,so much to see , art work everywhere and these greenhouses absolutely georgeous!!!so many nice places for a bite such a great variety of restaurants &coffee and tea rooms.wonderful ,you 've had such a great time as it seems ,thank you so much for sharing.greetings from cold and rainy hamburg.only 3 days of sunshine ,now its chucking it down.....awful....😫
Oh no fingers crossed you get some sunshine ☀️
You fellas showcased less than a quarter of the free things to do. Glasgow is astonishing. I visit twice a year for a week each. Only thing I run out of is time. Never money. ❤
We only had one day this time so had to be selective. Any top recommendations for our next visit?
I definitely need to explore Glasgow now! I have only driven through it. The architecture in the cathedral looked incredible! 😃
You should! Driving through without stopping is definitely a mistake 😊
@@JJExtra We were on a giant coach/bus and I was a kid. I had no control, unfortunately. Haha at least we stopped in Edinburgh! 🙂
Thank you for your fantastic vlog about Glasgow😊. We have so much to see and do here. Sorry it wasn't a bit warmer for you😂. Subscribed.
Glad you enjoyed it! We can’t complain, the sun was shining so we will take that as a win!
16:02 That is because it is a wee tiny Lego stadium. Glad you enjoyed our city💚🍀
😂🤣 we’re not getting involved lol. Fantastic city though, can’t wait to get back and hopefully spend a bit longer there.
Another fantastic video, showcasing the best of Scotland. Keep up the good work guys
Thanks Ian 😁
Great video guys you pair are hilarious love that you loved Glasgow it’s got a brilliant vibe and maybe just a little more authentic than Edinburgh 😂 sorry I couldn’t help a wee jab at our lovely sister! 🥰
fantastic tour guide of my home city
Glad you liked it!
That was absolutely incredible! What a beautiful city and fun adventures you chose. 🙌
Wish we had time to explore more 😁
Nice 1 lads
...for anyone visiting The Cathedral, try and get a tour guide, they're volunteers and it's free. They really know their stuff and they will tell you things you would never otherwise pick up on.
Great tip! We will make sure to do that next time we visit. Thank you ☺️
@@JJExtra If you do make it, then I suggest The Panoptican Theatre in Argyle Street which is another free entry, (donation) a certain Stan Laurel made one of his early appearances there.
Very nice film enjoyed that .
Glad you enjoyed it!
Good morning from New York boys good video
Good morning Pete! 👋
Happy you enjoyed! I feel priviliged to live here for the past 5 years ❤
We loved it! So much to see and do we can’t wait to get back 😊
I can't decide which is winning, the culture (broadening the mind) the walking (broadening the muscles) the food & drink (broadening the belly) or the tube travel (broadening the bum)
Have you guys visited Nottingham's Rock Cemetery? th-cam.com/video/e-qXvl8qDNg/w-d-xo.html
This is on Mansfield Road, it has caves and you enter at your own risk!
Sorry boys but just came across your channel tonight for 1st time loved you visiting my city (Glasgow)…I need to say something Edinburgh is not better than Glasgow lol that’s me just being biast lol please please come back to us soon you are both welcome anytime I’d love to take you around loads more & im glad you like our up to date subway new trains lol
My home city, and your video does us proud!
Thanks Colin! Glad we could capture the city in the positive light it deserves 😊
Thanks!
Thank you Brian 😊 💙
That was so interesting!! Hub’s mum, sadly no longer on this mortal coil, came from Govan (saw the station name on the loop map) and she would have LOVED to have watched your video. She was born in Govan and had three bros and one sister. When she was about nine years old, because they were all living in a relatively rough and poor area, her parents sold up all they had (not much really!) and emigrated to New Jersey where they all lived for ten years, to live a relatively better life and employment options etc.
However, Difficult Circumstances in the USA (the country was in a right state apparently) meant that the whole family had to go back to their old home in Scotland until the financial situation in the US improved, which they did. They stayed for about five years in Govan and the USA after WWII was rich and prosperous, unlike parts of Glasgow which had been badly bombed and were a “slum site” and once again, sold up and moved to the USA £ permanently this time. His mum, though had met the man she was going to marry (hub’s dad) and moved “down south” (to Dartford!). She only had the hints of both American and Scottish accents after living in the South of England for many years.
Going forward many years, her brothers and sister all took American nationality and all had but “lost” their Glaswegian accent and all spoke with broad accents from New Jersey and Texas etc. The first time I met his mum’s eldest brother, when he came to see his sister, this man - who had been living in Austin for many years, had all the swagger and style of a natural born Texan and even spoke with a drawl…..but - the funniest thing ever - we had picked him up from Gatwick airport and took him back to my mother in law’s house - he was “American Stars n Stripes” etc but on greeting his sister - his accent went straight back to Scottish!
Listening to them greet each other as they started chatting, it was almost impossible to understand them! It was like they were still in Glasgow! Literally, och aye the nooo!😬😁
Fab video again - just loved those “Muriel’s” 😂😂
Cannae beat it!! Next time you visit come visit the parks and maybe the Burrell collection since you love a museum. Taing 😀
Thanks for the recommendations- we will definitely be back!
the latest batman film was shot at the necropolis cemetary and around the city same as the latest indiana jones film.
I've never wanted to go to Glasgow, but after seeing this I might pay a visit, looks cool. Thanks guys
You should! It’s a very underrated city.
Don’t. Just don’t😉
I’m so surprised at how nice the subway looked compared to London, and such a good price 😮 Also..loved your little excited clap about going to a museum Josh lol.. and Jason..the Harry Potter plants are mandrakes..spot the Harry Potter geek lol
Another great vlog x
love the TARDIS it follows you
The subway trains are nice and clean and comfortable because they are brand new.They only came into operation a few days ago.
We assumed they were relatively new, a good investment for sure!
@@JJExtra you might have been some of the first to make use of them.The old rolling stock stopped running on Friday.
Another well-presented video
Last year my wife and I visited Glasgow and had a great time, so much so, we had another short break a couple of weeks ago. There is so much to see .. we preferred Glasgow to Edinburgh.
@2:52 Yes, the £4.30 paper day -ticket is quite good ... but with a Smartcard it is only £3.10. Last year, we applied for two smart cards online, which are free and they are even posted out to your address, again for free. We went to the ticket booth and topped up £3, for a day ticket last year. This time, as I said, the top up required was £3.10. The cards have our faces on, so a nice little souvenir of Glasgow too.
Regards from Whitley Bay
Oh thanks for the tip on the Smartcard. Will definitely look into to that when we return!
P.s what a beautiful view and you also managed to get Celtic Park (Parkhead) in when you were in the Cathedral Quarter🥰🥰🥰 at 16.03😂
I want a chicken and bacon bagel now😌
Haha us too - it made us hungry editing this video 😂
J&J always one big ray of sunshine. Loving your videos - great locations and so much fun to watch. Thank you 😊
Glad you like them! Thanks for watching 😊
In my forties an iv stayed within 7-8 miles of glasgow city centre my whole life .. never knew half these places existed !?
It’s amazing what you can discover through fresh eyes. We are exactly the same with the area we live / grew up in 😊
I recently discovered your channel and I’m so grateful I did. Love your videos! You are both lovely and I’m really enjoying your perspectives on the locations you visit.
Welcome to the channel. We are glad you found us and that you’re enjoying the videos 😊
They’re the new carriages that replaced the 2nd generation of carriages that had been in use since 1980, they were retired this past Thursday.
Thanks for sharing that info. We assumed they were fairly new.
Come on lads,don't knock the scaffold on the cathedral.
Any idea of the skill and hard work involved in making scaffold rise around and inwards in alignment with the very tall spire?
Apart from being dangerous,it is an art form in itself.
You should have said "Pure dead Brilliant. The cone on the Duke of Wellington is normally the orange traffic cone originally put up by drunks or students the authorities removed it and it was replaced over and over again now it is iconic so they embraced it. Occasionally it is changed by "groups" but then mysteriously back to orange.
It’s strange how in a city full of things to see and do that something so small and silly can become so iconic but embracing it is sometimes the best way. No doubt that statue now gets way more attention than it would have done otherwise 😂
I think the underground trains are brand new,
They certainly look it!
Oh.my.goodness.me, a SCOTCH EEEEEEEEEGG!!!
Saint Mungo was born to Saint Teneu in 518 AD, in Culross, Fife. It is believed that Teneu was Scotland’s first reported rape victim and unmarried mother. The young Teneu was sexually assaulted by the Welsh prince Owain mab Urien, resulting in her pregnancy. Upon learning of Teneu’s pregnancy, her father, King Lleuddun of Lothian, became outraged and sentenced her to death. In carrying out this sentence Teneu was thrown from Traprain Law, East Lothian. Teneu, however, survived the fall and managed to escape, sailing in a small boat to Culross in Fife. Upon arriving in Culross, the pregnant Teneu was taken to the local monastery where she was looked after by Saint Serf. In 518 Teneu gave birth to a boy, naming him Kentigern. Saint Serf decided to raise Kentigern, training him to become a priest at the monastery and giving him the nickname Mungo meaning “dear one”.
During his time at the monastery, Mungo became the favourite student of Saint Serf, often causing jealousy and resentment amongst his monastic peers. This jealousy and resentment continued to grow eventually causing Mungo to leave the monastery. After his departure, Mungo travelled to Stirling where he lived at the home of a holy man named Fergus. As time went on the pair became close friends and on his death bed, Fergus told Mungo of his dying wish. Fergus’ dying wish was that his body be placed upon a cart, which was to be pulled by two bulls, with his body being buried where the bulls stopped. Mungo carried out the dying wish of his friends and travelled with the bulls until they eventually came to a stop near a small burn. Mungo gave a name to the area, he named it Glas Ghu (Glasgow), meaning “dear green place”. It was here that Mungo would start the first Christian community in Glasgow, building his church near the Molendinar Burn, which would later become the site of Glasgow Cathedral. It was from here that Mungo would say the words “Let Glasgow flourish by the preaching of his words”. This would later shorten to “Let Glasgow Flourish” becoming the motto for the city.
Mungo and Teneu would later become co-patron saints of the City of Glasgow. It is believed that St Enochs square in the city centre was the medieval site of a church built to honour Saint Teneu.
The four legends of Saint Mungo
The City of Glasgow’s coat of arms depicts an oak tree, a robin, a bell and two salmon each with a ring in its mouth. These images relate to the four legends of Saint Mungo.
“Here’s the Tree that never grew,
Here’s the Bird that never flew,
Here’s the Bell that never rang,
Here’s the Fish that never Swam.”
The Tree that never grew
During his time at the monastery in Culross, Mungo was left in charge of the holy fire which burned in the rectory, ensuring that the flame was not extinguished during the night. However, due to the increasing jealousy of the other boys, they put out the fire in the hope that Mungo would be punished. However, upon waking, Mungo noticed that the fire had gone out. Acting on this discovery, Mungo collected frozen branches from an oak tree, which were ignited as a result of Mungo’s prayers.
The Bird that never flew
The tale of the bird also comes from Mungo’s days in the monastery. At this time, Saint Serf had a pet, Robin. The pet, however, was killed by some of the boys at the monastery, who wished to place the blame on Mungo. Mungo, however, took the bird in his hand and commanded it to live, to which the Robin immediately sat up and began to sing.
The Bell that never rang
It is believed that the bell was given to Mungo by the Pope in Rome. It was said that the bell was used in services to mourn the dead. The bell quickly became a notable symbol in Glasgow. The fate of the original bell is unknown, however, a replacement which was bought by the city’s magistrates in 1641 can still be seen in the People’s Palace Museum.
The Fish that never swam
As mentioned, the salmon in the coat of arms of Glasgow, contains a ring in its mouth. The ring was a gift from Hyddderch Hael, King of Cadzow to his wife Queen Languoreth. Languoreth in turn gave the ring to one of Hydderch knights. The King was suspicious of his wife, believing her to be guilty of infidelity. The King organised a hunting party in which the knight would be present. As the knight slept the King took the ring and threw it into the River Clyde. The following day the King demanded to see the ring which he had given Languoreth, if she could not produce the ring then she would be sentenced to death. A distraught Languoreth visited Mungo and pleaded with him to help find the ring. Acting on this Mungo sent one of his monks to the River, instructing him to bring back the first fish that he caught. On the monks return, Mungo removed the ring from inside the mouth of the salmon.
Fantastic vlog as always, I love the Glasgow Subway, just a quick little apology to Jason😢, a few years back i sent you and Josh a Scottish box, and i have just found out that you don't like shortbread 😢😢 so Josh probably ate it all and you got nothing😢
Haha don’t be silly! I (Josh) was happy to eat them all 😜 we still have the little cow displayed in our unit in our room!
Kelvingrove Park*
Thank you for correcting us, too many Kelvin’s 🤣
