Down among the dead men
Spooky. Gothic. Romantic. Glasgow's Necropolis is Scotland's answer to Pere Lachaise, the Parisian resting place of Jim Morrison and Oscar Wilde. In fact, it was modelled on the French cemetery in the 19th century as a (more)
Climb Dumyat
A good introduction to hill-walking for anyone who's unsure about the whole thing is to head up Dumyat (Dum-aye-at)in the Ochils. It's at the Western end of the range and is a bit of a postcard favourite - you usually (more)
Walking in Chatelherault
Chatelherault near Hamilton is a great place to go for an easy walk suitable for most abilities. When we went (Hogmanay 2009) there was snow on the ground making the steeper paths very slippery and difficult, and one of (more)
Real Old Fashioned Street
Did you know there's a whole old-fashioned street in the People's Palace? It's got cobbles and old shops like we had when I was a boy. Everyone should go and see this - it's a record of a better time.
Ghost hunting at Glamis
The Queen Mother was brought up there and Princess Margaret born there, but did you know that Glamis Castle is even more famous for its ghosts? It's supposed to be the most-haunted building in the UK, and there are (more)
Do lunch and shop in Pollokshields
Pollokshields has a great cafe culture, with almost too-many places to choose between....Ikafe (mmm, soup!), Mise-en-Place and Moyra Janes are situated near some great niche shops too. Floral Haven is not to be missed. (more)

Take a walk to Doon Castle
No, not Doune Castle of Holy Grail fame - that's in Stirlingshire. If you're planning an afternoon running around shouting "It's only a scratch" and "I blow my nose at you!" then you're in the wrong place. This one's (more)
Glasgow Women's Library is a hidden gem of the city
Nearly every day I hear the words, "Why have I never heard about this place before?" and I wonder to myself - why indeed? Glasgow Women's Library is so much more than a library, holding events such as writers evenings, (more)
Walk up Calton Hill
A walk up Calton Hill can be a peaceful break in the heart of the city. It's often not too busy, and it's nice to sit at the bottom of Edinburgh's Folly and look out over the city.
Climbing the wall
It's more of an adventure centre than just for the mountaineers. The Ratho climbing arena is built in an old quarry, and is the largest in the world. But there's much more than just climbing the wall all day - there are (more)
Follow the Mackintosh Trail
One of the best ways to spend a day (or more) is to follow in the footsteps of Charles Rennie Mackintosh. Most of the buildings are in Glasgow city centre, including the former Herald offices at The Lighthouse and the (more)

Scottish country dancing for Scots
Where's the best place to kick up your heels after work? The Sloans ceilidh is becoming a bit of a Friday night institution for me and my mates. The band "Chitterybite" are brilliant and always get the crowd going. (more)

Idyllic Dunkeld
One of my favourite places to go is Dunkeld. It's a beautiful little village that time forgot, and the grounds of the Cathedral, sloping down to the river are a wonderful place to go on a sunny day.
Great coffee and kids activities!
I love the coffee in Tapa, it is the BEST in the city. Plus, the homemade cakes and bread are amazing....and my wee one thinks the same! She also loves going on a Tuesday morning for the painting session (more)
