Oor Wullie in Glasgow (Part 2)

And so our search for Oor Wullie in Glasgow continued. I was very fascinated with the designs and the colours of Oor Wullie. That was the highlight for the trip in Scotland.
















The clone version or rather the outfit colours




Mackintosh at the Willow (Glasgow)

Here we are having hi-tea at Mackintosh at the Willow which includes a 200 seat restaurant in the A listed, internationally recognised, original Willow Tea Rooms Building at 217 Sauchiehall Street Glasgow. 
 Highlight for Anthony - the tea and the place
 
The famous Tea Rooms were first opened in 1903 and are of huge importance to Glasgow’s architectural and cultural heritage and are the only surviving Tea Rooms designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh for local entrepreneur and patron Miss Kate Cranston.
 The setting of the place
 Such exquisite tea set
 Ring the bell if one needs to call for assistance
 
Afternoon tea is served between 12pm to 4.30pm in the form of three tiered stand comprising of sandwiches, scones and an assortment of cakes. Do make a reservation if you are planning to dine at this place.




Happy Anthony - now we know who is the one who is into hi-tea 

Glasgow Cathedral

 Here we are at Glasgow Cathedral, a medieval cathedral where admission is free. This is the oldest Cathedral at mainland Scotland and is the oldest building in Glasgow. 
 I was totally mesmerized by the stained glass which I heard the cathedral has one of the finest post-war collections of stained glass to be found in Britain.

 After viewing the interior of House of an Art Lover, here we are just soaking in the sights of the exterior of the house surrounded by gardens of flowers, sculptures and monuments.
