Glasgow Botanic Gardens are home to plants from all around the globe and there are self-guided trails to enjoy including a tree trail and a river walk. Victoria Park is known as Glasgow's prettiest park and located within the park is Fossil grove, housing the remnants of an ancient forest - the fossilised tree stumps are thought to be around 330 million years old. Take a trip to The Clydeside Collective which delivers a whole new kind of ethical shopping experience – one that has sustainability at its heart. The store brings together local artists, makers and crafters, who each share a passion to reuse, recycle, reclaim and resell items that may otherwise have been destined for landfill. Each of these eco-friendly creatives is committed to the single-use plastic-free pledge, making The Clydeside Collective a truly unique place to pick up a beautifully made gift. Day 1 : Arrive in Glasgow Arrive at the airport, take the Glasgow Airlink Bus into the city and check in to your Green Tourism accredited hotel. This afternoon, familiarise yourself with Glasgow and take a walking tour - following the Glasgow Mural Trail. While on your walking tour, look out for the Social Bite café, who are on a mission to end homelessness in Scotland, Social Bite is a café with a difference. Pop in for breakfast, brunch or lunch whilst you’re here and support their ‘pay it forward’ scheme, where you can buy something to eat or drink in advance for someone struggling with homelessness. Day 2: Explore Glasgow Start your day at George Square, where you will board the City Sightseeing Bus and take a tour around Glasgow. With 22 stops - there is sure to be an attraction for everyone to visit. We would highly recommend a visit to Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum which has been given the Green Tourism Award and is the home to the famous painting by Salvador Dali ‘Christ of St John of the Cross’. Located in Glasgow's cool West End, Ubiquitous Chip is an icon and the perfect place to spend your evening. 'The Chip' as it's known locally, focusses on regional Scottish cuisine with minimal waste - what better place to enjoy haggis or neeps ‘n’ tatties. Day 3: Stirling Castle and Loch Lomond Today you are venturing just outside of Glasgow and will join a tour hosted by Rabbies Travel, who boast a Green Tourism award and focus highly on responsible travel. Check in at Buchanan Bus Station for a 9am departure to discover Stirling Castle & Loch Lomond. You will stop at Balmaha Nature Trail Walk where you can explore its deep connection to nature and enjoy a dram at Glengoyne Whisky distillery. Day 5: Departure Unfortunately, it is now time to leave Glasgow and head to the airport via the Airlink Bus. JacTravel offers touring packages to meet all budgets and interests.
