How long have you lived in Glasgow and were you born and raised there?
Born & raised in Glasgow, so 32 years.
If you were a visitor to your home city where would you stay for the weekend?
Blythswood Square, It’s a beautiful hotel with lots of rich history and the perfect location in a quiet area that’s walking distance to the city centre and easy access to the West End. Fun Fact, they filmed for Succession season 2 in the restaurant.
Favourite place in Glasgow for Coffee / Brunch
I mostly stick to the West End - places like Cottonrake, Kember & Jones and if you like Matcha GodShot Studio in the Southside is great. In the city centre Wilson Street Pantry & for great vegan options Plant Blonde is a must.
Glasgow is a city rich in history & culture, what is a must see?
Kelvingrove Art Gallery or my personal favourite The Burrell Collection. They currently have an incredible Degas Exhibit on running until September.
Best place to go shopping for independent brands?
I’d say a toss up between the Southside & West End - just depending on what you are looking for. For vintage, West End for sure.
Describe your perfect day spent in Glasgow
My perfect day would probably be a morning wandering around The Burrell Collection, grabbing a coffee or matcha from the Southside afterwards. Then heading to the West End for a wander around the shops & Botanics and ending at Crabshakk for dinner.
