Sierra, Courtney and I decided to take our first independent journey to Glasgow. Famous for being a prominent industrial city, Glasgow was a major hub for trade between Britain, the West Indies, and Americas. Today it's a major business center as well as the most populous city in Scotland (third in the UK). Many people compare it to Cleveland because both have followed a similar socio-economic path after the pinnacle of industrialization. The Kevingrove Art Gallery and Museum, the Botanical Gardens, and a little restaurant called Taurus were the highlight of our stay.
