Trip Diary – April/May 2017 – Day 36 – Glasgow, Riverfront Museum & Cathedral

We’ve talked before about the value of hop-on, hop-off buses in cities you’re visiting. You see the general layout of the city, get a little historical background, and see a variety of different sites. Then you decide what you want to visit and take the tour again, getting on an off when you want to.

In Glasgow, we took the bus to the far western part of the city, where we found the Glasgow Riverfront Museum and Tall Ship. The Museum is primarily a display of transportation items, but it also deals a bit with such topics as design, fashion, model building, and so on. One thing we have found in our travels is that creativity in exhibits and presentation is very high, further enhancing the desire to learn about the subject.

The tall ship was a mid-19th Century steam ship that hauled cargo up and down the river and across the seas between countries in the region. Nearly every area on the ship was accessible, giving visitors a real sense of what it might be like to travel on the ship.

Several buildings are in the area, including the Royal Infirmary of Glasgow, the oldest building in Glasgow, the Cathedral, another church, and one of only a few police call boxes we found so far. The most interesting thing to me was the placement of headstones flat on the ground, instead of vertical as they usually are. Time and the elements have done a job on many of the softer sandstone tombstones, but it would make a fantastic genealogy project to try to get information from the others. Sites like Find-A-Grave make no mention of the cemetery.
