kunzum's video: Pollok House: Glasgow Scotland History Culture

A short local train ride from Glasgow downtown takes you to Pollok Country Park - reminding me of Glasgow roughly meaning ‘Dear Green Park’ (from Celtic ‘glas’ and ‘cu’). It is truly a city of parks, with over 90 of them - the largest being Pollok located about three miles from the city centre. With over 360 acres of woodlands, open countryside, paths, trails and streams - I could have stayed there for days if there was option. I had cows to play with (safer with a fence separating us), and endless tea and carrot cake (and lots more) to devour in the tea rooms of the Pollok House (http://www.nts.org.uk/Property/Pollok-House) - a grand country home with rare art collections showing how the affluent lived. Located close by is the Burrel Collection (http://www.museumsgalleriesscotland.org.uk/member/burrell-collection) housing over 8,000 objects donated to the city of Glasgow by Sir William Burrell in 1944.
