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.

Laid out in 1662, Glasgow Green is by far the oldest of the city's parks and is an easy walk from the city center. One of the park's main attractions is the People's Palace, a museum built in 1898 that tells the story of Glasgow from 1750 through the 20th century. Exhibits include a reproduction of a "Single End" home from the 1930s, a look at "the steamie" bathhouses, and a display dedicated to remembering the dance hall at the Glasgow Barrowlands Ballroom.
The Winter Garden, a large conservatory at the back of the palace, contains a fine collection of tropical and subtropical plants. Be sure to also visit the lovely Doulton Fountain, the world's largest terracotta fountain. An impressive 46 feet high and 70 feet across, it was built to commemorate Queen Victoria's Golden Jubilee and contains figures from across the Commonwealth. Another attraction is Nelson's Monument, an impressive column built in 1806 to commemorate Horatio Nelson's victories.

For art lovers, Glasgow is something of a feast. In addition to facilities such as the Kelvingrove Art Gallery, this revitalized city has more galleries and related things to do than could possibly be enjoyed in a day or two, so plan on staying longer to get a true Glaswegian art fix.
Leading our list of other must-visit art facilities is the superb Gallery of Modern Art. Known locally simply as the "GOMA," this Romanesque structure is home to an often changing roster of exhibits featuring both local and international artists, along with workshops and lectures. And keep a look out for the equestrian statue outside the facility-chances are it'll have a cone placed on its rider's head, a typical Glaswegian gesture indicating an often irreverent attitude to local authorities, who have long since given up removing it.

One of the most famous sites in all Scotland, is a short train ride from the city.
Whilst in Loch Lomond The largest of Loch Lomond's numerous islands — and the largest fresh water island in the UK — Inchmurrin was once home to a 7th-century monastery and chapel dedicated to Saint Mirin. It's also where you'll find the ruins of 8th-century Lennox Castle, famous as a hunting lodge used by King Robert I and later robbed by the legendary Rob Roy.
The island is also famous as the place where the first ever haggis-hurling world record was set in 1984.
Although privately owned and accessible only by boat, it's popular with tourists, particularly canoeists, kayakers, and pleasure boaters. It's also a great place to spend a few days thanks to its self-catering cottages and restaurant. For those who like going au naturel, there's even a naturist camp.
While visiting the island, be sure to keep an eye out for the wallabies (true story).

The sole survivor of a long line of paddle steamers once based on Loch Lomond, the 208-foot-long PS Maid of the Loch was built in 1953 and was the last such vessel to serve the train loads of tourists who would visit the area from far and wide. She was also the last such steam vessel built in the UK, and was shipped in pieces from Glasgow and assembled at her present location.
Located at its berth at Balloch, the ship — now run by the non-profit Loch Lomond Steamship Company — and its unique steam slipway are being restored prior to once again offering excursions. Until then, the ship continues to welcome visitors to view displays regarding its history, as well as that of its predecessors who plied the loch since the 1880s. A tea shop and gift shop are also located on-site.

One of Scotland's most popular hiking routes — and one that's becoming increasingly popular among mountain bikers — the 96-mile-long West Highland Way attracts close to 100,000 walkers annually. Trails follow the banks of lovely Loch Lomond as it winds from Milngavie near Glasgow all the way to Fort William - taking in Britain's highest mountain, Ben Nevis, (4,406 feet), along the way.
A number of campsites and great accommodation options are available at various points on the journey, as those trekking the whole trail can expect to spend up to five or more days doing so. Plan in advance to ensure your West Highland Way itinerary goes smoothly.
A good place to pick up the trails is Ptarmigan Lodge in Rowardennan. From here, you can take the loch-side path for a mile until reaching a crag called Rob Roy's prison. This is where Roy was once said to have held hostages. You'll also pass the Inversnaid and Beinnglas Falls before reaching Glen Falloch.

Loch Katrine takes its name from the lawless Catterin family who once instilled fear on the lakeside's inhabitants. The tiny island at the eastern end of this eight-mile-long lake is known as Ellen's Island, after the heroine in Walter Scott's famous poem, Lady of the Lake
A popular day trip includes a cruise aboard the SS Sir Walter Scott, a former steamer (it now runs on biofuel) built in 1900. The boat travels from Stronachlachar in the west to the Trossachs Pier, dropping passengers off to explore the hills and discover spectacular views. The loch is one of the few in the area where boating isn't permitted (it provides drinking water to Glasgow), which has resulted in an abundance of wildlife, including rare breeds of waterfowl.

Inveraray makes a good base for tours of both the southern and western sections of the Scottish Highlands. Situated on the banks of Loch Fyne and surrounded by wooded hillsides, the town was the setting for several novels by Sir Walter Scott, as well as stories by Robert Louis Stevenson, and works by local poet Neil Munro. The principal attraction is Inveraray Castle, the seat of the Dukes of Argyll, and a star of Downton Abbey.
This lovely fairy-tale castle, with its round corner towers and turreted conical roofs, was built in the middle of the 18th century on the foundations of a medieval fortress. Interior highlights include collections of fine period furniture and tapestries, and gilded stucco ornaments decorate the elegant lounges. Displays include a large collection of weapons and an amazing range of fine porcelain, as well as family portraits by Gainsborough, Kneller, Raeburn, Ramsay, and Hoppner.
A gift shop and tearoom are located on-site, as well as a number of well-appointed rustic cottages.
Afterwards, pay a visit to the Inveraray Jail and the Inveraray Maritime Experience. The museum is home to the three-masted schooner Arctic Penguin, launched in 1911.

Located six miles southwest of Inveraray, Auchindrain Township is a small farming community maintained in its original condition. The traditional longhouses and peasant cottages aim to show how the rural population of the West Highlands lived during the late 19th century.
Apart from the smallholders of Auchindrain, who grew their cereal crops, potatoes, and root vegetables on the flat land and then grazed their sheep and cattle on the hillsides, the township was also home to the "cottars." As payment for their work, these residents received a small plot of land, which they were allowed to cultivate.
The farmers' longhouses consisted of a living room, a small side room, kitchen, toilet, and barn or stables all under one roof. The cottars, however, eked out a very humble existence in a simple hut. The visitor center offers interesting displays regarding the lifestyle of the township's former residents (it was only vacated in the 1960s), as well as a shop and café. Be sure to check for daily specials made to recipes once common in the township.
