You will see the spires of the University as you approach the Kelvingrove and might confuse the University for the Kelvingrove. The University has two great free museums (Hunterian and Hunterian Art Gallery) as well as the MacKintosh House dedicated to the iconic Glaswegian architect. It is also surrounded by terrific affordable places to eat, as most college neighborhoods are.

I walked from George Square to Glasgow Cathedral and on the way stopped on the grounds of The University of Strathclyde. There is a park named Rottenrow Gardens, tucked into a side street, and it contains a plaque and sculpture commemorating The Glasgow Royal Maternity Hospital. It is worth a stop to see the giant diaper pin, take your picture with it if you were born here, and read the beautifully written memorial. At the edge of the park, stands the original entryway to the hospital. There are lots of places to sit before you continue walking to the cathedral or the cemetery behind it.

Get ready to see the world through masks and puppets. Another reviewer used the term enchanted, I agree. Enchanting is the best way to describe the experience. We got to hear stories from Malcolm and Sarah about the puppets and masks on display and the art of puppetry. Wonderful. We left feeling like we took a trip through time and space.
