GLASGOW
PAST TO PRESENT
Visitors to Glasgow over the centuries have been
impressed by the architecture of its buildings and the friendliness of its
people.
In
the 17th century Samuel Pepys described Glasgow as "a very
extraordinary town indeed for beauty and trade", in the 18th century
Daniel Defoe considered it was "one of the most beautiful and best
built cities in Great Britain", and in the 19th century Charles
Dickens remarked that "he had never been more heartily received
anywhere or enjoyed himself more completely" than when he was in
Glasgow. He also noted that "it rains as it never does rain
anywhere else". Oh well, nowhere's perfect.
At Journeyman Tours our aim is to make visitors
to Glasgow feel equally impressed by the architecture and people of today by
showing you around the sights and meeting the people of this very friendly city.
