No argument from me! The Kelvingrove is superb - the refurbishment enhanced it and made it even more stunning. I got a behind-the-scenes shufti when I played a small part in setting up the "Gifts for the Gods" exhibition last year. Riverside is a superb example of modern design in itself, and the exhibition space finally does justice to the collection which I've known from its' two previous sites. And the hidden gem - well hidden in that it's unknown to most outside Glasgow, anyway - has to be the Peoples' Palace. And I aven't even mentioned St Mungos' or the Hunterian....
"for, as long as but a hundred of us remain alive, never will we on any conditions be brought under English rule. It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom - for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself."
