Riverside Museum

Winner of the European Museum of the Year award (2013), the Riverside Museum of Transport and Travel contains some rare example of vintage vehicles, ranging from old-model trams to cars and even chariots. The state-of-the-art interactive displays and exhibits are guaranteed to appeal to various age groups.

Hunterian Art Gallery

This rather peculiar museum consists almost exclusively of items donated by one collector, and Glasgow University student, William Hunter. These range from rather normal geological artefacts to deformed animal skeletons, scientific curiosities, human organs preserved in jars, and even a mummy.

Road A82 to Inverness

Spanning 270 kilometres, this picturesque route traces its path from Glasgow to Inverness via Fort William. Majestic mountains — including the highest, Ben Nevis — stand tall on either side of the road, accompanied by twists and turns leading to notable sights such as the legendary Loch Ness and Loch Lomond. Other engaging landmarks include castles like Urquhart and adventurous trails for climbing and hiking, most notably Glen Coe.

Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum

Kelvingrove Museum in Glasgow is an ideal destination for those with limited time to explore the city, offering free admission to its imposing premises in a leafy Victorian park bearing the same name. With 22 galleries spanning diverse themes, the museum caters to a wide range of interests and is also particularly child-friendly.
