Glasgow has excellent options for eating, drinking and shopping; it’s also surprisingly green. Here's how to spend a day in Scotland’s largest city – we challenge you not to fall in love.
9am
Exit Hillhead subway on to Byres Road in the heart of Glasgow’s West End, saunter up to leafy Hyndland and grab a window seat at Epicures for some serious people-watching in stylish surroundings over an espresso and poached eggs.
10am
Walk off that delicious breakfast with a stroll around the beautiful Botanic Gardens, or for a more challenging workout, join a hot and steamy class at Bikram Yoga (though you might have to cut breakfast short – check the timetable), then cool down with a refreshing smoothie, bursting with locally sourced fruit, at nearby Juice Garden.
