A Week in Glasgow
I went there as a delegate to my trade union's Biennial National Conference (20-22 May 2014) but went up on 17th May and returned on 24th May.
Outside of conference I visited a few pubs and also travelled over some new rail lines for me.
The conference was held at the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre.
On the Monday I went to collect my conference credentials and took a few photos in the SECC area.
Here is a summary of my train journeys in Glasgow:
