    PS I don’t know how I managed it but somehow (let’s blame it on me being slightly tired while editing) I used the same song twice in this video 😅😂 - I guess I must have been really enjoying it?

    Such a beautiful room - what a treat! Glasgow is always so lovely in autumn! 🧡 I also adore watching the squirrels bury their treats at this time of year!

      Thank you so much for watching! It’s been so fun to see more of Glasgow this month, still so much more of it to explore 🙊🍂

    The botanic gardens have trails that take you along the river and back down along Great Western Ave. For travelors to Scotland check to see what discounts are available. Day passes are often cheaper. For those residing in Scotland there are many great deals on Scot Rail and the bus systems. If you are disabled, over 50, retired (over 60), a student, there are discounts on the trains. There is even a rail/ferry combo to the various Scottish islands and Ireland. On busses if you are disabled, over 60, you ride free, free or discounts aged 11-25. Both busses and trains allow dogs free.

    Glad you enjoyed your visit to Glasgow. You showed it off to its best. I’ve lived in Glasgow for 70 years & it’s a wonderful place to live. Devonshire Gardens is a favourite of mine for a special treat. Thanks 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

    I loved watching this! So lucky to get to stay at One Devonshire Gardens, I stayed there after my wedding and it is a gorgeous hotel! You definitely hit some good spots, Thistle Books is my favourite secondhand bookshop in Glasgow, and The Hyndland Bookshop is also so lovely :) I would recommend for lunch in future if you come back, across the road from the place you ate is Cottonrake Bakery which does delicious sandwiches, and also near the Hyndland Bookshop on the corner of that street is a lovely cafe/restaurant called Epicures which is well worth checking out!

    • @ShawnaExplores
      @ShawnaExplores  2 месяца назад

      Oh what an amazing place to stay after your wedding!! Thank you so much for the recommendations, we did spot Cottonrake Bakery but there was quite a long line but now I know why and we should have just waited 😂🩷

    Lovely video Shawna. One Devonshire Gardens is very posh. The main road next to it Great Western Road. The area is the West End next to the university ( my old uni). I think you’d be surprised at how much cheaper housing is there in comparison to Edinburgh prices( not cheap but the same flats transferred to Edinburgh would be uber pricey). Really took me down memory lane . Hope you and Ashley had a lovely time.

    • @ShawnaExplores
      @ShawnaExplores  2 месяца назад

      Thank you so much for watching! It’s such a beautiful area, I’m looking forward to returning for another wander soon 😊 that’s so interesting, I have heard some others say that Glasgow house prices are better than Edinburgh. Interestingly, a friend who owns a business in Edinburgh says rent for a store is cheaper in Edinburgh (not sure if that’s still the case)!

    Wow . Glasgow is truly charming in its own way! The hotel is lovely and the Architecture is insanely beautiful. Rich of history! And charming. I may have to rethink about Glasgow and add it to my choices in Scotland in my future move! lol Glasgow with its hidden gems places to see and venture in about. thanks for sharing!

    Sorry I’m just now getting around to watching this video. Your 2024 pace has finally gotten away from me 🙈 So not only do we have a Shawna Binge, but we also have a Glasgow Binge! 🙌 The video was so lovely 😍 I really appreciated your story on the Dumas books! 😁 And please, always let your feet just wander around 👏

      @ShawnaExplores  2 месяца назад +1

      It’s such an incredible building! Can’t remember if I mentioned that it used to be 3 homes which they converted into a hotel 😮 and I’m so glad I’m not alone, always tea first 🙊☕️

      @ShawnaExplores  2 месяца назад

      It’s such a good book! Generally really love Amor’s writing 😍 I borrowed it from the library a while ago and would love my own copy but this one was a bit stained so I think I might ask for it for Christmas 🙊 thank you so much, Dirk! Hope you’re having a wonderful weekend 😊
