This DVD takes you on a journey of exploration and discovery across Glasgow and the surrounding area. Full of ideas of places to go and things to see, you'll find everything here from the engineering marvel of the Falkirk Wheel to the beauty of the Isle of Bute; from the brooding atmosphere of Glen Coe to the Ayrshire of Robert Burns. Not forgetting Glasgow itself, of course, whether your interest is in art and architecture, or restaurants and shopping.
There is something in Glasgow And Beyond for everyone. If you are new to Scotland, or to Glasgow and its surroundings, then you'll find a complete "everything you ever wanted to know, but were afraid to ask" guide to all of the key sights and attractions, an excellent way of ensuring you make best use of your time and avoid missing those "must see" locations. But even if you think you know West Central Scotland like the back of your hand, you'll find surprises here: things to see and do you never knew existed.
Glasgow And Beyond takes you on a series of journeys, one each to the north, south, east and west of the city. These take you as far as Turnberry and Culzean Castle in Ayrshire; Glen Coe: Inveraray; Culross; and the Trossachs. In between these excursions outwith the city, you are shown the glories of Glasgow itself, with features on architects Charles Rennie Mackintosh and Alexander "Greek" Thompson; on the wealth of art on view in Glasgow, and on eating, drinking and shopping in the city.
