You have already received excellent advice from other reviewers - my friends and I were in Glasgow for only two nights and we visited the Burrell collection and the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum. Both are worth a visit - try to do the Burrell collection because it will be closing soon for about 4 years for a complete refurb. Start early and you can do each in half a day and leave a little time for exploring Glasgow and a little shopping. The 'round robin' underground is excellent and everyone very friendly - you will get good advice from your hotel too. Enjoy!
