Today we were back meeting at our usual time, 9:00am in the Reception Hall. Our trip today would take us to Glasgow.
Glasgow is not too far from Edinburgh, so that bus ride was not long at all. Once we got to Glasgow, our first stop was at the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. The building houses one of Europe's great civic art collections. The museum has been the most popular free-to-enter visitor attraction in Scotland, and the most visited museum in the United Kingdom outside of London. Inside, visitors can find an Ancient Egypt exhibit, learn about the history of Glasgow, and see many European artwork collections.
Once we were done at Kelvingrove, we headed to the Cathedral where we were able to explore for a little bit before heading into the city centre. While at the Cathedral we heard many different bagpipe bands practicing because they would be competing in the World Pipe Band Championships the following day. When we got to the city centre many of the bands were even putting on a practice show for spectators to enjoy. We watched for a little bit before heading into the main shopping area of the city.
After a few hours of shopping and watching the bagpipe bands it was soon time to head back to Edinburgh.
