Hi YeoColin,
Glasgow? I'm from those parts. Here's some nice spots.
Glasgow University: It's about 900 years old and got a picturesque central building. Inside there are cloisters where graduation ceremonies are held. You're certain to get some nice photos here. You can get scenic views of it in the park next to it.
Candleriggs: Olde Glasgow that's just been done up for the yuppies. Think old granaries, old town hall stone type buildings & paved roads.
The Museum of Modern Art: Apart from the arty stuff inside, there's the famous statue of the man riding a horse outside it. The drunks of Glasgow have been putting a traffic cone on its head since forever. Take it off and it'll go back up the next day.
George Square: The centre of Glasgow with the City Council building as the backdrop. Something like Trafalgar Square inc pigeons. Strathclyde uni is about 5 mins away and where the TV was invented by John Logie Baird.
The Royal Infirmary/ Glasgow Cathedrale: Next to each other, they're fine buildings.
Shopping streets: Sauchiehall (socky-hall) Street, Argyll Street, Buchanan Street.
A recommended day trip out would be... a drive to Loch Katrine where Glasgow's water comes from, Loch Lomond for it's scenery/ mountains, Inverary Castle..... For slightly longer, Isle of Skye is a moody place for landscapes.
Be careful, Glasgow on a Friday/ Saturday night can be a rough place (ie drunks) to be. And yes, it rains but when it's sunny it's gorgeous.
