Glasgow Film Theatre is the city's original independent cinema. I like it for the quality films, its film festival and freebies on special days!

"Big Slope" is a basement pub in Glasgow: cosy in winter and a beer garden in summer! The best thing about it is its cocktails and top-notch pub grub...

"The Barras" market has been a Glasgow institution since the 1920s. Some say it's seen better days, but I still like spending time there on a weekend.

"Philadelphia" Glasgow is number one of my "best fish and chips in town" list, and this coming from a local who knows a thing or two of chippies!

"Mother India" Glasgow makes gorgeous food. I can't recommend this restaurant highly enough: I've been going there for over eight years; always a pleasure.

"Kelvingrove Park" is one of the many parks created for the people of Glasgow as a refuge for the appalling living conditions of the Industrial Revolution.

"Glasgow Green Play Park" is a brilliant playground located just behind the People's Palace museum. An awesome place to bring your children to!

"Ubiquitous Chip" is best known in Glasgow for its high quality Scottish-sourced food and its huge selection of drinks. If you're a smoker, come here!
