| I went over to Glasgow with the Edinburgh University Athletics Club for a track meet, and spent the following morning walking around the city. Glasgow is much larger and more modern than Edinburgh, and is really the commercial capital of Scotland as well as the center of Gaelic culture. Here is a photo of George Square, the city's central square. The statues are Sir Walter Scott (upon on top of the column) and Robert Burns, with the Glasgow City Chambers behind. |

| A statue of the Duke of Wellington with a traffic cone on his head. I had to look this one up, but apparently the cone is a bit of a tradition; they have long since stopped trying to keep the Duke cone-free. Pretty funny. |
 |
| The Glasgow Necropolis. It's exactly what it sounds like. |
 |
| I had more time to kill before my bus, so I wandered a bit, right into The Barras weekend market. The booths were selling everything from bootleg DVDs to old paintings to pies, but it was all cheap and kind of dirty looking. There were some thick Glasgow accents about, which was really what I came for. |
 |
| I also came for lunch. I stopped in for a plate of steak pie, cabbage and mash at a little local place in the market. It was awesome. |
