Was originally planning a trip up to bag a few Munro's for my birthday tomorrow, however the weather forecast is looking terrible. Anyone got any suggestions of decent ways to spend the day?

Things to do tomorrow in Glasgow? Ideas pla.
- Thread starter greensurfingbear
- Start date
Transport museum, Kelvingrove, Hunterian Museum, or there's a continental market on in St Enoch's square which will be a good lunch if last years was anything to go by 
there was someone selling leather stuff, and a lady selling bows and arrows, etc., (I think she got in bother with the police though, but she was within the law) Provand's Lordship's worth a nosey too and while you're up that end of the town away and have a wander around the Necropolis hill.....amazing amounts of wildlife right in the middle of the city Deer and the like.
cheers,

If youre feeling flush and heading for a restaraunt. The Sea Trout at La Bonne Auberge is the best I've ever tasted.
My lathe is still in Newcastle but I've booked marked the web page thanks for that

Thanks for the suggestions. Having just moved here we don't really know anyone and a bit strapped for cash. Knew we couldn't afford to go anywhere so was really looking forward to a day in The hills not working lol.

Nice - and handy being near the city centre. Anyone travelling up the M74 into woodcrafting, this place is worth a half hour (+ an hour just inventing things to do with the beatiful selection of wood) diversion as well.

Re Day in Glasgow, Kelvingrove is a great shout - very impressive museum.
My wife and I both liked the Kelvingrove museum when we went up there for a weekend a few months ago.
Yeah we did the whole Kelvingrove thing when we first moved in. Great museum and a cracking restaurant in the basement. I was looking at the snow place at braehead but not sure how bad/good it is plus want to do something together and missus isn't into boards or skis.
Went caving last year, and in door ice climbing the year before so this year feels like a bit of let down lol.

There's the indoor climbing wall at Ibrox ?
The ski slope is the brushes kind and if it's wet you'll get saturated
How about a jaunt out and climb Ben A'an ?

It's not that high, so it doesn't count in all those lists that folks tick off, but it's in a perfect spot from the top you can see right round the Trossachs.
Takes about an hour or so to climb, and if the weather's miserable it's not as though you're stuck out on the hill all day, but you get a couple of hours good exercise and if the sun breaks through, some stunning views
How about the cruises on Loch Lomond or Loch Katrine ?

There's a climbing wall and aerial walkway at X-Scape, as well as the indoor ski-slope. There used to be indoor Iceclimbing at Tiso in Couper st - but the website now talks about a dry tooling wall? Don't know what that is.... http://www.tiso.com/uk_shops/glasgowoutdoorexperience/?sid=b3994567e2332bc7e89af914bf7a01a7
went there with work a couple of weeks ago
As it happened we ended up laying in having a cooked breakfast watched the new Bond flick and visited the Decathlon store. All home now and sipping on a JD and coke
Sorry too late, but the best thing to do in Glasgow is to head East, to Edinburgh
