The Christmas Market was lively and filled with plenty activities for different ages, there was also a covered area for eating and drinking, and toilets stations were available too,not sure if they are free though

Went for the christmas markets, really enjoyed them. The food was great but highly overpriced. I wouldn't recommend the pick and mix. We did a few scoops and the price was £27. Very badly advertised price of £3.99 per 100g, be wary of that! Lots of fun stalls for games and really enjoyed the axe throwing, highly recommend that. Be careful of the uneven ground around the stalls though, tripping hazards. Overall a great little night out for the family.

Glasgow Green is one of the cleanest and most peaceful parks I’ve visited. The grounds are spotless, the paths are well-kept, and there’s plenty of space to relax or explore. The greenery is stunning—lush lawns, tall trees, and colorful gardens make it perfect for a walk, picnic, or just soaking up nature. It’s a lovely area with historical landmarks like the People’s Palace and Doulton Fountain, and it’s easy to reach from the city center. Whether you’re out for a jog, walking the dog, or enjoying time with family, Glasgow Green is a fantastic spot to unwind. Highly recommended for locals and visitors alike!

My group stayed in Glasgow for the Worlds Bagpipe Championships these last 2 weeks. This was some of the groups 1st time in Scotland, including me and my daughter. My 1st impression was it reminded me of los angeles with the graffiti, homelessness, and some people on drugs tweeking on the streets. Our area was very walkable and we had no safety issues. Buchanan street was a nice visit with restaurants and shops. I loved seeing the architecture and art on buildings and my favorite part was visiting Pollock Park and seeing the Scottish Highland Cows and art museum. I was sad Pollok house was under renovation and closed but the Bridge and river were very beautiful. To get around town, we used Scotrail, Uber, taxis, or walked. Glasgow Green is a beautiful park as well. Scotland was so amazing!
