Off to Glasgow today. This was very meaningful to my dear husband with his mum's father coming from this land. Rich really enjoyed his time here and sensed a strong connection to Scotland. So we headed to the Riverside Museum which was voted the best museum in Europe last year so we had high hopes. They were exceeded and plus this place was free entry which blew our socks off! It is a transport museum which shows us the history of every means of transport possible with the most amazing displays. It was a great time had by all. Roll the pics...
The Argyll Voiturette from Glasgow 1900.
This is the statue from the front of the ship Helen Denny which sailed 24 voyages to New Zealand from 1872 onwards. Being the crew on this ship must have been awful for such a long journey in the wild seas in these times.
In the afternoon Richard visited Glengoyne Whisky Distillery for a tour where he got to taste some splendid single malt whisky and purchased a bottle to enjoy back in NZ. The kids and I enjoyed some time at a Country Park which was once again an amazing free venue for all to enjoy with trails and playgrounds and more!
Canadian Club don't look and taste so good anymore.
A little bit of Glasgow from the car.
