Part 2.
We left Kelvingrove after a delightful few hours. We could have stayed longer. On exiting the building we found out that there are two more galleries with five minutes walk away. We will do them next time.
Finding the footpath adjacent to the River Kelvin we handrail it down to the confluence with the River Clyde. It was a very warm afternoon and many people were out jogging or dog walking.
The confluence of the rivers is where the Tall Ships are located alongside the Riverside Museum. This is a complex which was completed in 2011 and took four years to build. It covers Transport and Technology.
Photograph was imported from the website as when we were there it was fenced off for works.
From this point a footpath/cycle way follows the Clyde all the way back into town and beyond. It's a promenade and Glasgow have done a fantastic job of changing what was a huge industrial area into what is now a delight to walk with many points of interest.
One of the nice things in Glasgow is the amount of murals painted on buildings. They are superb. I will just post a couple here but there are so many that you can walk around the city locating them and photographing them. We managed to photograph 20 but there are many more.
Something else to add to the list for next time.
The Clydeside Distillery was opened in 2017 after a £10.50 million refurb of what was an old pump house. The pump house originally managed the flow of water into the Queens Dock.
I'm sure some folk will have memories of travelling on her as she was very popular around the Lake District coast and the Isle of Man etc.
Promenading.
What a wonderful day.
