• What is there to see and do in Glasgow?

  As Scotland’s biggest city, there lots of great cultural attractions to get stuck into, including Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, the Gallery of Modern Art and the high-tech, interactive Riverside Museum. The medieval Glasgow Cathedral, George Square and Glasgow Green are all must-sees, while the hands-on Glasgow Science Centre makes for an intriguing visit both inside and out. 
  
  The buzzing Buchanan Street is full off shops, cafes, bars and restaurants, and when you want to enjoy some peace and quiet there are some lovely natural spots on the outskirts like the Seven Lochs Wetland Park, Pollock Country Park and Cathkin Braes Country Park. If you like sports, you can choose between Celtic and Rangers to position yourself either side of the great Old Firm football rivalry with a visit to Celtic Park or Ibrox.

• What is education like in Glasgow?

  Glasgow has some excellent schools befitting its status as the largest city in Scotland, making it a great choice for families with children of all ages. If your kids are primary age, then Hillhead Primary School in the west of the city next to Kelvingrove Park is worth considering. It may be Glasgow’s biggest primary after the merging of four previous schools and two nurseries, but Education Scotland has given the school a glowing inspection report. 
  
  Just the other side of Gibson Street is Hillhead High School for older children, which also comes well recommended. The West End is a great place to live for top performing secondary schools, placing you within the catchment area for Jordanhill School and Hyndland Secondary School, which both rank highly in the annual exam results data.
