Sharmanka Kinetic Theatre

When you think of theatre, you might not immediately think of mechanical sculptures — but that's exactly what you'll find at the Sharmanka Kinetic Theatre. The theatre showcases intricate mechanised figures that "perform" thought-provoking shows on life's big questions. Perfect for both kids and adults, it's a collaborative wonder featuring the work of sculptor-mechanic Eduard Bersudsky, theatre director Tatyana Jakovskaya, and light and sound designer Sergey Jakovsky.

Celtic Park

The Celtic Football Club was founded in Glasgow in the late 1880s by two Irish priests in a bid to raise money in the city's poor East End. The club has since become one of the most successful in Scotland and is the winner of over 50 Scottish League Championships and dozens of other cups, including one European Cup. Celtic Park is the perfect place to get a taste of the spirit surrounding the club, and other events too are hosted here at times.

Glasgow West End

The West End area contains some of the best cafes, bars and stores in town (check Woodlands Road for eateries). It is home to the stunning Botanic Gardens, the University campus and Kelvingrove Museum & Park. Make sure to include Byers Road, Great Western Road and Ashton Lane into your itinerary.

National Piping Centre

Learn everything about the history and significance of the Highland Bagpipe, the quintessential Scottish musical instrument, and possibly get a chance to have a go at playing a tune yourself on one of the guided tours offered at the National Piping Center.
