This eBook offering is an excerpt of Lonely Planet's latest Scotland guide book and includes:

• Glasgow chapter

• Understanding Scotland

Regenerating and evolving at a dizzying pace, this city is edgy, modish and downright ballsy. Its Victorian architectural legacy is now swamped with style bars, top-notch venues to tickle your taste buds, and a hedonistic club culture that will bring out your nocturnal instincts.

This guide includes up-to-date reviews of the best places to stay, eat, sights, cultural information, maps, transport tips and a few best kept secrets – all the essentials to get to the heart of Glasgow.

Coverage includes:

• Understanding Scotland: Scotland Today, History, The Scottish Larder, Scottish Culture, Caledonian Icons, Wild Scotland, Directory, Transport and Glossary

• Itineraries, History, Walking Tour, Sights, Activities, Sleeping, Eating, Drinking, Entertainment, Shopping, Gay & Lesbian Info, Paisley, Inverclyde, Blantyre and the Campsies & Strathblane.
