Blogger trip roundup: Picture perfect in Glasgow

Glasgow is one of those cities that isn’t too large that you’ll bound to get lost in the mix. And, it isn’t too small that you get tired of seeing the same art gallery over and over again. Bottom line, Glasgow is just right. On the last day of the trip, my blogger peeps all agreed that we merely scratched the surface of a city chock full of modern art, quirky style and warm-hearted locals. Could we ask for more? Check out some of the pics I took during our visit.
This is a shot of a gallery at Trongate 103. It’s a new arts resource center. This exhibition is called Myscape, which is described as “a journey into the autistic architectural landscape.”
Cute brooches at Myscape. I’m kicking myself for not buying one…or eight.
Very cool piece from Trongate’s gothic kinetic art display.
I’ve been to Glasgow a few times before and I always make a stop to the Glasgow School of Art. I went on a tour of the school. C.R. Mackintosh at his best!
The front entrance to GSA. The details are fantastic. I mean, can you imagine walking through these doors as a student and not being inspired??
Just a typical Sunday afternoon on Buchanan Street. Glaswegians love to shop. Even the little ones!
Eggs benedict for brunch at a really chill West End eatery – Cafezique. I loved how one of the gang described my dish- “Those eggs are so photogenic!” I agreed.

What do you have for Arbroath Scotland. nMy cousins live there and that is where my parents both came from. My mother’s people were related to the Allan’s. I would like to see Hospital house as the bust of a woman is there and she looks exectly like my mother. My mother’s mother was Mary Allan.
Thanks for the comment, Ann! Great to hear that you have family in Scotland! For more info on Arbroath, you might want to try http://www.visitscotland.com. Cheers!
