MY I-ON GLASGOW | 15
Your preferred areas in Glasgow? I love the buzz and vibe of the West End, particularly on weekends. For shopping and drinks, I’m a big fan of the Merchant City particularly Brazen, Cruise, Orro, the Brunswick Hotel.
Where would you take visitors to show them the real Glasgow? The area around the Tron Theatre is fantastic for a slice of the real Glasgow – there are loads of great little shops selling everything from old cameras to football programmes and vintage clothes. Also The Horseshoe and Variety bars for drinks as well as King Tut’s. And take in a game at either Ibrox, Parkhead or Firhill.
Where do you go for the best view of the city? Park Circus or the viewing platform at the top of The Lighthouse.
The best place to go on a Sunday? Velvet Elvis or The Left Bank for lunch.
Describe a great night out in Glasgow: Maybe some oysters and fish at Crabshakk then a trawl round a few of the city’s great bars, finishing up at The Brunswick Hotel before heading off to The Sub Club.
