    Glasgow tour!

    August 14, 2015 in Ireland ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C

    We found the bus and hopped on! It was freezing but we sat in the back because it was nore open and we could see and hear more! And lucky for us we arrived right when the national bagpipe contests were being held! We could hear them playing all through the city!
    One thing that absolutely amazed me will in our travels is the history of the the towns! You walk the street and every building has older structures, and the modern just slip in to it, somthing i am not used to seeing!
    Glasgow was best known in the 16th century as a trading city! The boats would dock in the river that now flows through the city and trade with near by counties! Is most famously traded tobacco with America before becoming better known for ship building! Which brought on more of its fortune and turned the city into what it is today!
    You can still see old work mills and factories on the outskirts of the river!
    Not that i saw much of the river as it was the coldest part of the trip and i was to busy staying warm to concentrate.
