You can see all that is going on in Glasgow at the local tourist Information website http://whatson.seeglasgow.com/ Here is a link to the latest Glasgow Diary that tells you what is going on for each of the 4 seasons http://www2.seeglasgow.com/diary/flash/glasgowdiary.html Glasgow is a vibrant city that was European City of Culture in 1990, European City of Architecture and Design in 1999 and beat the competition to host the Commonwealth Games in 2014.

Airport Transfers really depend on your budget. We have two airports that service Glasgow - Glasgow Airport and Prestwick Airport. Glasgow Airport is about 20 minutes along the motorway from Glasgow City Centre and there is a good bus service that departs frequently and costs about £6 return. It stops at various points in the centre. Taxi service is more expensive, £40 (to the city centre, price will be higher if you are going beyond the city centre), but is more convenient and will take you direct to your homestay or accommodation. Please see Glasgow and Prestwick Transfer for more information Edinburgh Airport Transfer - the cost for a Taxi transfer from Edinburgh Airport is £95 and will take approximately 1 hour.
