Comment	Why not go to Pollok Park and see some highland cows, the house gardens and riverside walk, then visit the house and take a tour and eat some lunch in the cafe, then wander over to the Burrell Collection (in the same park) which has just reopened and full of art and historical artifacts. You can walk to the park from Pollokshaws West train station and you can also visit Shawlands by a 20 minute walk up the road - there are plenty of cafes and restaurants there for dinner, as well as another lovely park. If you are staying West you can do the Botanics, then the riverside walk to Kelvingrove Park, Kelvingrove Art Gallery, tour the University (lovely architecture), visit the Hunterian, the Riverside Museum etc. There are plenty of places to eat there too. My vote is for Bar Soba because their Thai Lemonade mocktail is so delicious I chose it over alcohol every time I go. Another nice thing could be a day in the town centre, visit the Lighthouse Museum, walk to the top for a Charles Rennie Mackintosh exhibition, then the view point of the city, do a walking tour of the murals and experience the Georgian architecture of the City Centre, visit the GOMA, walk to the Glasgow Catherdral, go to the Necropolis, visit the People's Palace and Glasgow Green. Have afternoon tea in the Willow Tea Rooms (which is Charles Rennie Mackintosh inspired so very 'Glasweigian' by nature.
