In Glasgow there are some extremely good museums, and some in Edinburgh too - find out which from information sources such as Visit Scotland, then decide what interests you. In Edinburgh walking up Arthur's Seat (in suitable weather) overlooking the Scottish Parliament and Holyrood Palace plus much of the city, and visiting the Castle, are worthwhile pursuits. Going on a tour of the Scottish Parliament buildings was for me a surprisingly interesting and enjoyable experience. The cities in question also have tourist information offices that can give you information to suit your interests - everything depends on what you yourself might enjoy, although often one is pleasantly surprised when trying something that on the face of it was not promising.

I used to live in Edinburgh and it is a fabulous place! You should make the effort to climb the Scott Monument...it is on Princess Street, which is the main street in the centre...the views are incredible and it really is a great experience. The other must see place is Edinburgh Castle, which is easily reached from the same main street. I hope that you have a wonderful time. xx

The best museum in Glasgow is the Burrell Collection, but it is quite a way out of the town - a public bus stops by the entrance to the park it is situated in, then you walk about half a mile to the building itself.
Also in Glasgow, Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery is interesting if a bit manic, and The People's Palace has a fantastic ambience.
In Edinburgh, the National Museum of Scotland is very interesting but its top-floor restaurant is completely snobbish and up itself:
