was directly After two weeks of Uni on Saturday after a trip back to Scotland on the program. Unlike in February, we are again this time out of Aberdeen. More specifically said we drove on 14.3. by train from Aberdeen in the nearly three hours away Glasgow. Since Aberdeen on the east coast and Glasgow a fair bit of it lies south-west, we drove almost straight across the island. Although it in Aberdeen and Glasgow at that time was already well above zero degrees, we drove inland through quite a lot of snow-covered areas. The weather forecast for Glasgow on the day was heavy continuous rain, that is extremely inconvenient for a splendid day trip.

In short: it was not suffer so. :-( From there went on our way then direction " Necropolis . "This is a cemetery on the influential business people and the like from the last two centuries, especially the 19th, are buried. As the" Necropolis "is located on a hill, you have from there in from quite a lovely view over Glasgow. Afterwards we went back towards the pedestrian zone, where we visited another Italian restaurant before we again sat in the train to Aberdeen.
Conclusion: In Glasgow liked me best Necropolis and the People's Palace. Where we one day course not all were able to visit Glasgow. However, we are daytime running through areas through which one is not better at night. As far as I understand, Glasgow is the city with the most percentage of murder cases in the UK and due to alcoholism, life expectancy in some quarters in the mid 50th was
