Decided to visit Glasgow so we took the day train. Less than a one hour trip and the trains run every 15 minutes. We found that Glasgow is a much more modern city than Edinburgh. The reason is that Glasgow had more than 146 ship building companies during World War II at the height of Glasgow’s industrial era and thus it was a target for German bombs. Glasgow was extensively bombed and had to be rebuilt after the war.

During the height of Glasgow’s industrial age there were many very wealthy industrialists and they commissioned majestic crypts for their burial.
