City Centre

On Thursday the 23rd, we drove back into the city to turn in our rental car. After that, we wandered around the city. We reached the Glasgow Cathedral mere minutes before it was supposed to close - but they let us in, and actually, some more people after us as well!

We were very lucky to happen upon the Provand's Lordship house being still open. This is the oldest house in Glasgow, it was built in 1471.

A figure dressed in the early style of the 15th century.

The fireplace with a wooden coat of arms - 16th Century I believe.

A lovely bit of stained glass tucked into a tiny window.

The house itself. This picture is from November, when we walked by the house on our fieldtrip, but didn't have time to go inside.

On our way back to the subway station, we wandered around George Square a little, to enjoy the lights and the Christmas jolliness - and the war memorial.
