Glasgow, Loch Ness and the Mountains of Scotland (part 2)
Or the fact that most of the big financial tycoons prefer either Florida or Glasgow to live?
And this, by the way, is the official data of the most reputable financial publications. At the same time, the prices for accommodation in local hotels are much lower even than in London: for example, the quite aristocratic Glasgow Inn rents rooms for forty pounds per day along with meals. A room on the "night + breakfast" system is even cheaper: twenty pounds. And all this despite the fact that the Celtic name of the city translates as "dear green place"! You can buy tickets for a flight from Moscow to Glasgow for 21 thousand rubles on an Aeroflot plane, or for fifteen on British Airways. As they say, feel the difference.
Scotland, on principle, does not want to be like England. There are officially two languages in use here — English and Celtic-Scottish: several TV channels even broadcast on the latter. Out of spite, the Scots even repainted their double deckers (double-decker buses) in white. It looks very fresh on the streets of Glasgow, but somehow unusual even for Russians. One of the obvious disadvantages of the capital is its overpopulation, especially in poor northern areas. Travel guides, sadly, blatantly lie, showing neat low-rise cottage-type houses in flowers and greenery on their covers. The main color here is gray: depressive high-rise buildings are crammed with terrifying density. It is in the city center that clean streets, pubs and cozy restaurants are waiting for you on every corner, here is the harsh truth of life in poor neighborhoods: the northern districts are leading in the number of crimes and suicides.
Of the undoubted advantages are the sights, which have accumulated in Glasgow over the centuries. These are a dozen beautiful bridges of various designs thrown over the River Clyde, and Glasgow Cathedral, and Kelvingrove Park, and the Royal Theatre, and many more museums, monuments, parks and monumental buildings, to visit which you will have to wind more than a dozen kilometers. And of course the shops: the capital's residents swell with pride when they hear that Glasgow has the best shopping in the whole Kingdom — Glasgow prices are quite democratic, even beer here is cheaper than in London. Avid shopaholics claim that the Buchanan Galleries complex, which is located near the Argyll Guest House hotel, is especially famous, as well as visit Princes Square.
