Our last few nights in Scotland are at a site at Stepps in Glasgow.
On our way we stocked up with a few necessary food items at Dumbarton and visited the Dumbarton Castle. This is the one time home of the first kings in Scotland and it commands a view of the River Clyde. It is built on top of a large volcanic plug standing proud of all the land around it.
It really is quite an impressive old building, so we had a look in side. Yet more climbing up steep stairways to the views at the top. Our legs were feeling it after the exertions of the last few days.
We made our way over to Glasgow in the afternoon, avoiding the city centre. Our campsite, at Stepps, is on the north east side of Glasgow.Read more

We had a day in the city. Stepps railway station was 10 minutes walk from our site and we were at Queen Street station, in the heart of the city within 20 minutes.
Our first stop was the information centre. The young lady there was very helpful (as we have found at each place we visit).
We walked westwards, along Sauchiehall Street, which was quite shabby in places at its west end before hitting a more elegant part as we approached the Kelvingrove Hall Museum.
We spent some time looking in the museum at the various artefacts, all very interesting. Salvador Dali's famous painting had been leant to the museum in Spain, so unfortunately we could not see it.
After that we wandered along the Clyde river bank back into the commercial heart of the city and took a look at the old cathedral.
The cathedral was most impressive, as all these massive and ancient buildings are. Top of the chart, however, still has to be the cathedral at Cordoba.Read more
