The University of Glasgow is not a Tourist Place in Scotland, but this campus is very attractive and has beautiful and magnificent classical-style buildings. Many say that they haven't been to Glasgow if they haven't visited this one university.
The university's architecture is very interesting, and will remind you of a Harry Potter-style building. You can take photos around the university and enjoy the magnificent architecture from a very close distance.
Inside there is also a souvenir shop too, which allows you to buy some souvenirs. Not only that, there is also a museum that has been around since 1807 and is the oldest museum in Scotland.
