NY Times: 36 Hours in Glasgow

Glasgow, Scotland’s largest city, crackles with character. It’s a hub of grass-roots energy where art shows, plant sales and film screenings pop up in tenement flats, railway waiting rooms and disused buildings. Once known as the second city of the British Empire, Glasgow struggled to reinvent itself after the closure of its shipyards. Now, cultural hotspots have sprung up in outlying neighborhoods — like pockets of the Southside, for example, or Dennistoun in the East End — and plans are underway to revive the city center. Glasgow has a full global banquet (yes, so much more than deep-fried Mars bars, the battered-chocolate invention of Scottish fish-and-chip shops) and a love of live music (check the roster at classic venues such as Barrowland Ballroom). Another thing you’ll get to know in Glasgow is its infinite variations of rain. Be waterproof top to bottom, and you’re off to a good start.
Very complementary feature in the New York Times.
Shame we don't have any direct US flights to get American visitors to the city.

Complimentary but frustratingly clichéd. It doesn’t miss the old tropes about deep fried mars bars (what a waste of an opportunity to highlight our actual culinary offerings) nor the crap about the rain. Hopefully the rest of the 36 hours will include references to our famous friendliness, architecture, nightlife, nearby natural scenery, etc.
