For the above, what is unmissable? Not especially interested in inanimate museums, no car - and more like 1.5 days once travel time to arrive on day one taken into account!

Day one - make for Glasgow Central and board any train.

Overnight Day One and Day two - spend them somewhere else - anywhere else :-)
Some lovely and interesting places in Glasgow, none more so than

The Willow Tea Rooms

217 Sauchiehall St, Glasgow
0141 332 0521

Monday 9:00 am – 4:30 pm
Be prepared to walk up a lot of steep streets!
I had assumed (for what reason Lord only knows) that Glasgow City centre would be 'on the flat' like London.......it certainly ain't!!!

It's quite a small city, the Architecture is fabulous and the museums, art galleries, etc. are all well within walking distance of each other.

It's my favourite city in UK.
I rate Kelvingrove for the architecture and art....has a Dali so I'm happy.

Followed by lunch at Mother India.
Love Mother India Eccles... Do try them for lunch March Hare, if you like Indian food you wont be disappointed
Mazie, it is some of the best Indian food I have ever had!

I love the fact that they serve small dishes so you can create your own Thali.
Take train at queen street , come to Edinburgh for the day....
Me too Eccles, we use the one in Edinburgh.. I go with the two girls(Daughter and DiL) and we always have a great selection of dishes
The Burrell Collection at Pollock Park is the best park of Glasgow. And as NJ recommends, any of the main routes out. When we visited the guide on the open-top tour bus had the same view.
I think the Burrell Collection is on tour while they have a refit.
Question Author
Thanks to those of you who gave helpful suggestions - rather than just advising we travel elsewhere!!! Not at all interested in inanimate museums/art galleries as per question, but some of the suggestions are great - thank you
Sorry M-H, I was being a bit naughty. I went to Glasgow in 1967 and have not been back since. I imagine it's changed a little since then. If it has not my original advice stands !!! :-)

Have a good time.
this is perhaps a first prize in a draw,
where the second prize is ....... a week in Glasgow

I would do Kelvingrove - and also the Barrell Collection

keep you occupied

otherwise the most interesting thing is probably the airport on the way out.
Question Author
Thank you for your help all.
How about the open top bus tour, I have done these in a few cities and they are usually quite fascinating any to see the city.
What are you interested in? It would be easier to give suggestions if we knew what kinds of things you do enjoy.
Question Author
History/Architecture/Anything that can only be seen in Glasgow ...... Just not museums unless very interactive ........ Not especially interested in art galleries
We always do the open-top bus tour when we go to any new city.

Failing that, you could always go and see my MIL.....

There's an inter-active Ship type museum thingy at Braehead, went once, cost a fortune to go in though.

How about a trip on the Waverly?
Doon the watter?
