Based on a grid system, Glasgow's streets and lanes are packed with coffee houses, beer-stops, places to grab quick burgers or 3 coursers, galleries, parks, an art-house cinema and Victorian sandstone buildings. Glasgow is compact, you can see a lot of the city in a short space of time, we also have our own underground tube system to get around fast. With a diverse music scene across pubs and clubs, there are gigs and acts on every night of the week. A 30 minute drive away will also lead you to Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park — full of lochs, glens, castles and hills.

You'll likely find yourself saying "I remember this/my parents had that/my grandparents had one of those" alot in Relics. Every single square inch of this relatively small shop is covered with a remnant of the past. If you like packaging, there's vintage gold found on lightbulbs, beer mats and badges. There's instruments hanging from the ceiling, mannequins and even a couple of those space age televisions. The owner is usually found fixing up a new find, there's also a cat sleeps on a pile of old road maps. If rummaging is your thing, you'll be in here all afternoon.
