So who's going to volunteer to list all the  interesting historical and genealogical places to go in Glasgow  :)

Paul's quite good at Googling  ;) ;) ;)

Start on the Mitchell Library and a boat trip down the Clyde with a commentary.

And some of the Mackintosh buildings. We did a trip four years ago and thought they were amazing, especially Hill House, Helensborough.
