Highlander in Scotland and lots of awesome Whiskey in Glasgow

My first time ever to visit Scotland. I just learned from my British friend this year that they play on a different team than England. Had no idea about that...And my application for visited countries gives a new country for it. I'm now up in 56 visited countries...Wonder how big the amount would be if cities would also count. Massive countries like India and China have so many big cities and they are so different from each other.

Spent most of the time in Glasgow but we also visited the highlands and Edinburgh. Ate too much fish and chips but loved the amazing whiskeys and walking around the city with so much old beautiful buildings and history.

Helsinki airport when leaving was packed!! 

A very Finnish breakfast at Finnairs lounge

Thanks for the upgrade Finnair

Transfer in London, Hello Potter
Day of arrival, gloomy and later rain. Then more rain 
People make Glasgow! 
View from Glasgow University was at least as nice as the university itself 
Looking for Harry Potter 

Overlooking the city from Glasgow Necropolis 
Stairway to blue heaven 
Ready for this weeks conference! 
With the big bug 
Found a bit of Techno at Cheetah
The Pot Still is one of a kind whiskey pub. They have over 700 single malts! Gotta come back and try more someday 
One day there was actually blue sky! 
Like the Louvre 
The art found around the city 
Tennents have a huge brewery at a walkable distance from the center 
Crossing over to south Glasgow 
And finding this first thing after crossing the bridge. Put on your blues way shoes? 
Glasgow South Necropolis 
Last night ate at Ox & Fitch. Probably the best place I been to in Glasgow

Blue Ben 
Conehead outside museum of art 
We drove to Edinburgh and took a walk around downtown and castle 
And from up castle itself 

The Golden Mile at Edinburgh. Just walking around the city is gorgeous! 




When you focus on taking a picture but it's really really bright
Oldest bar in Glasgow: 1810! Would love to hear some of the best stories last 200 years from here 
Some healthy fish and chips with heart stopper fries 
So unhealthy week it's been 
The Finneston Pub and Restaurant was one of my favourites. Great food, whiskey and awesome bartender giving me a lot of whiskey stories and advice 
Town Hall 
All this for meeee? Afternoon tea! 
Rogano was a nice blast from the past restaurant 
The Lighthouse has a lot of cool cocktails 
Last Ale for the trip with city hall in the background 
When eating a lot gotta move too. We went for a 15k run to explore the city a bit 
We also did a trip around highlands. Found this iron cage next to a waterfall 


Waiting for Hogwarts Express 

The Stalker Castle 
Amazing green views! 


 Horsey heads 
 Nice Hertz upgrade we had 
Bye bye Glasgow, bus to airport 
Transfer in London again...Cathays Platinum lounge was almost identical to the one in Hong Kong!
