What to expect in Glasgow

Glasgow is not the most expensive city in Scotland although it may be more expensive than those in the East Midlands. An average three course meal in Glasgow will set you back about £38 but there is a great choice of places to eat ranging from bargain eats to fine dining. The weather in Glasgow is notoriously poor. Rain is a common feature all year round so waterproof and umbrellas are a must. The summer is very changeable with some sunshine, but usually more rain. Winters are cold and damp with a chilly coastal wind. A jumper is a must.
