Glasgow

Greetings from sunny Glasgow!

Oddly enough, i'm not being sarcastic about the sunniness. That's not to say that it doesn't get very, very cold and windy as well.

The last two days were more of a break period than for sightseeing, but we did still go to the Glasgow art gallery. I was surprised how much i enjoyed it - it has good Scottish, Italian and French art sections which are well set out. The Scottish art exhibit in particular was interesting, as it included an explanation of the emergence of art styles in the Glasgow art community.
The art gallery also included a number of elements which are more museum-like, and i think that's an addition which works well. The true highlight was the entrance - when we walked in we were greeted by the loud, lovely sounds of organ music - there is an organ directly above the main entrance and they regularly get people in to play it.

I'm feeling fairly tired today - sleep has been a little irregular thanks to the great Scottish tradition of staging fights and loud arguments right outside my hotel room. We're leaving Glasgow today, and will be heading up in the general direction of the Isle of Skye (hmm... not sure if that's the right spelling, so forgive me if it's not).
