As I mentioned in my previous post, the GCU students had planned a bus tour of Glasgow, Scotland for the Boston ambassadors. On the tour we learned much about the history of Scotland and witness many of the beautiful architecture present within  the city of Glasgow. We saw many great sites, such as the Armadillo, Kelvin Grove Museum, George Square, Glasgow Cathedral, Transport Museum, Alexandra Park and much more. We also learned about how each of the street names in Glasgow had come about in history. For example, we learned that the Tennent’s bar in Glasgow would deny entry to women in the past. After women began to match the outlook of the existing customers of Tennent’s, the men, they could no longer be denied entry. An interesting fact is that ever since women were allowed entry to the Tennent’s Bar, every manager of that bar has been a female. Another interesting fact would be that the central statue in George Square of Sir Walter Scott, a popular Scottish novelist and poet, was actually a replacement for the statue of King George III. George square was actually named after the King, but when King George III lost the colonies, the population voted to have the statue of Walter Scott replace his statue. This is also the first ever memorial of Walter Scott. – Syeda Kazmi
