Religion plays a huge part in the city and can be studied at Glasgow Cathedral and St Mungo's Museum. The Hunterian Museum, People's Palace and Scottish Football Museum also reveal much about Scotland's history and character. Scientists will enjoy the Glasgow Science Centre.

The Calderglen Children's Zoo is always a joy and informative, while a forgotten gem is the David Livingstone Museum, where students can learn about this most intrepid of explorers.

If you are looking for adventure then Loch Lomond is a mere twenty minutes away, where you will find the Loch Lomond Seaquarium.
