Southside Necropolis isn't hard to get to, and has some famous graves. You probably know Lipton's Iced Tea. The cunt that founded the company is buried there, alongside Alexander Greek Thomson, an architect that designed a tonne of the famed old buildings around the city.

Sighthill Cemetary is another that isn't too hard to get to, and is quite sizable. Still used for burials, and if you're lucky, you might see a deer or two hanging around.

For museums, the Hunterian museum is a must. I think its better than somewhere like the Kelvingrove art gallery and museum, which is what most would suggest at first. Its got a bunch of old as fuck Roman stuff, a section dedicated to surgery and other medical advancements (including some gnarly stuff like tumours and amputated bits and bobs in jars), and an excellent display case of mineral deposits from various caves around the world. You can also wander about the Glasgow University grounds, where the museum is located, which are real nice.

Riverside museum is a nice one, if you're into vehicles of all types. Countless cars, bikes, motorbikes, ships, trains and all the rest of it. There's even a recreation of the old 1970s Glasgow subway, using authentic parts from a closed station, an old cobbled street made to look like some time capsule to an even older time in Glasgow, and some other non-transport-related stuff to enjoy. Its huge and will definitely keep you occupied and dry if you need some indoors time.
