Overview

Much of Glasgow’s history can be observed through its distinct and much-loved architecture, which ranges from the outstanding Kelvingrove Art Gallery to the landmark Finnieston Crane. Many of these wonderful buildings are visited on a route that travels along Glasgow’s historic streets and through a number of its finest green spaces.
