Glasgow Green: Take a walk through the city's oldest park

Glasgow Green is Glasgow's oldest park and home to the People's Palace. This picturesque park dates back to the 15th century and has recently undergone major refurbishment. Not only can you take in some fresh air with a walk in the park, but you can also browse some of its famous landmarks such as a monument to Nelson, the St Andrew's Suspension Bridge and the Doulton Fountain, which now stands in front of the palace and is the largest terracotta fountain in the world. The museum tells the story of the people living in Glasgow from 1750 through historic artefacts, paintings and film, while its Winter Gardens has a collection of exotic horticulture. Some notable music events have also been held in Glasgow Green, from Michael Jackson to Metallica, while visitors can also find other outdoor events throughout the year.
