How about something different for Valentine’s Day in Glasgow?
Looking to do something a bit different then how about a visit to Clydeside Distillery and enjoy one of the many different tours on offers. So many to choose from – but we love the Chocolate & Whisky Tour. During the tour, you’ll discover so many amazing facts about the birth of the whisky industry and Glasgow’s history. The best bit, of course, is the tasting! Savour 5 carefully selected drams of Single Malt Whisky with each one perfectly paired with its own artisan chocolate – the perfect day out for your Whisky loving partner.
Of course, getting around the city couldn’t be easier with our friendly drivers from Glasgow Taxis who are always more than happy to get you to where you need to be – all with a smile and plenty of Glasgow banter!
Feeling guilty about leaving the children?
How about a family day out?
A Glasgow Valentine’s doesn’t have to exclude the kids – take them along for a sweet family day out. Why not spend a few hours with the kids at Kelvingrove Museum (free entry) and then pop along to one of the many cafes and restaurants on Argyle Street in Finnieston for a bit to eat. Don’t fancy leaving the museum, no problem, there is a café and a restaurant on site.
Looking to go a bit further afield, then take a trip down to Sea Life Loch Lomond – the kids will love helping Professor Finn find the missing sharks’ teeth to become a Jawsome Shark Ranger! During your visit you can also take in a feed or two – see how fast the sharks swim, find out what a Seahorse eats and how many fish it takes to satisfy a hungry shark!
Whatever your plans are, have a great month!
