This is Scotland
The Glasgow subway. A quick way to get you from the city centre to the West End and vice versa. But with those low seats, I actually prefer not to sit down when using the subway kilted…

Our last afternoon we spent — once again — in the Valhalla of craft beer: BrewDog Glasgow. Even though some of the beers I had hoped to try were sadly unavailable, we managed to try quite a few new or rereleased beers, accompanied by a couple of nice local cheeses and meats. Seriously, we need a BrewDog bar in Brussels soon!
Our last meal before boarding the bus homeward again was at Jacker de Viande. Not bad, but BMB is still number one in the burger department!
And that was the end of another fabulous trip to Scotland again. I’m missing it already!
Our last day started with a — quite spicy — Indian breakfast at Babu Bombay Street Kitchen.
A wet walk brought us to the People’s Palace, where all floors and the winter garden were accessible this time. In the Farrell exhibition we noticed quite a bit of Ypres.
The Dalek featured in a mural we passed on our way back to the city centre. Doctor Who seems to be everywhere in Glasgow: TARDISes in the streets, Daleks on the walls, sonic screwdrivers and posters in comic stores, a Genesis Ark and Slitheen in a thrift store, and of course Peter Capaldi — the twelfth Doctor — is from Glasgow! 🙂
After waking up to some disappointing referendum results on Friday morning, we decided to visit the Kelvingrove again—this time not so close to closing time—giving us the opportunity to listen to the daily organ concert as well.
Friday was the day the new iPhone 6 launched, so both being Apple fans, we went to the Apple Store to see and feel it.
For dinner we selected another Glasgow classic: The Chippy Doon the Lane. Apparently you can batter and deep fry sausages as well…
On the menu for the evening was another visit to George Square — brilliant vibe there — and of course some burgers at Burger Meats Bun. No visit to Glasgow is complete without a burger from BMB!
