Scotland - Day 1 Glasgow

I had no expectations for Scotland, which is partly why I found it to be such an amazing place. We left Leeds at an early hour but a three hour train journey placed us in Glasgow in the late of the afternoon. So excited to be in such a hyped up city we left the dingy hostel to explore. We found shop after shop which bored us a little, so a hidden pathway that led us to a pub greatly excited us. 

Sandwiches served with an a mound of chips 

With calories asking to be burnt off, we trapsed the streets to find some form of culture or buzz. We found statues and concrete building and building but nothing that ignited our excitement for Glasgow, so we decided to make our own fun. 

To be fair, we did stumble upon Glasgow's GOMA which had some fantastic installations and art-works. 

With thanks to Lonely Planet we pre-booked extravagant dinner at The Corinthian Club.

Too much wine was sipped which was tripled by our awe of the dining room we sat in. Huge velvet chairs kept your table in your own area of the room. The food was rich and decadent but unfortunately for me I can hardly remember eating it (Hooray for photos!). 

It all started with wine and the bread basket.

My chicken and vegetable dish

Matt claims "Best beef burger he has ever had!"

I do remember eating dessert, a banana bread and butter pudding. I was yet to try a bread and butter pudding, bread and butter are not foods I yearn to indulge in, but this version blew my socks off - actually amazing. 

Kate's Rhubarb Creme Brulee

Too drunk and too full from an intensely decadent dinner we went to a bar for a little nightcap. 

And had a naughty play with the mist on the window
