Description

First, we will take you to see the Kelpies: the largest equine statues in the world. We will then visit the Falkirk Wheel - the world’s first and only rotating boat lift. This iconic Scottish landmark and feat of engineering stands 115ft tall and transfers boats between the two canals. We will then head on to Glasgow, and our first stop will be at the Glasgow Cathedral. Built in the 1100s, Glasgow Cathedral survived the Protestant Reformation almost intact, and is now the most complete medieval cathedral on the Scottish mainland. Entry included. Adjacent to Glasgow Cathedral, you can then explore the Necropolis if you wish. Established in 1831 and built in the Classical Revival architectural fashion, and modeled on Père-Lachaise in Paris, the Necropolis has around 3,500 tombs. Entry included. Here, you also have the option of visiting Provand's Lordship. Bult in 1471, this is the oldest house in Glasgow. Entry included. Next to Provand's Lordship, if you wish, you can visit the St Mungo Museum of Religious Life and Art. Entry included. Leaving the Cathedral Precint, we will then take you to see the Doulton Fountain, built for the 1888 International Exhibition in Glasgow. This is the largest terracotta fountain in the world. We will then head to the West End, via some of the incredible Glasgow Murals. Once in the West End, we will take you to see Glasgow University's main building: the Gilbert Scott building. This is the second largest Neo-Gothic building in the UK after Westminster Palace. Entry included. We will then take you to the Kelvingrove Art Gallery, built in 1901 in the Spanish Baroque style. Here you can see a series of collections, as well as a restored Spirtfire plane from WW2. Entry included. Finally, time permitting, we will finish our tour by taking you to the award-winning Transport Museum and Glenlee Tall Ship (entry included), before we take you back to your cruise ship.
