Kilometres Walked : 18

Wednesday 26th July, 2023.

With grey skies sitting above the city we sat at our little dining table in the bay window of our flat ( that’s what they call an apartment here ) drinking coffee and watching seagulls as big as cats swoop around over the beautiful old buildings along our quiet street. We are in the middle of the city yet our street is nice and tucked away behind the main road and we are surrounded by some fabulous architecture. Today was all about art and architecture. Clocking up a few more kilometres, the sun made an appearance and we made our way to The Kelvin Grove Art Gallery and Museum.

The building itself was very impressive and we were even more impressed at some of the big names adorning the walls. Several of our favourite artists made an appearance.

Yes we’re lucky enough to see two Van Gogh’s today. A definite highlight 👏

With more Cezanne, Matisse, Rembrandt and Salvador Dali, the collection was quite amazing. Strolling back through the busy streets of Glasgow we managed to find even more fabulous old buildings. Even though the city is a little dirty and dark the architecture is something else.

The other stand out on the streets of Glasgow are the murals. There are some very clever people👏.

Next stop – Balloch😊
