Collins Discovering Glasgow: The Illustrated Map, Paperback

This map displays delightful watercolor mapping, with individual paintings of all the main sights and landmarks in the city. Covers the center of Glasgow from the Botanic Gardens in the north and the new Riverside Museum to the west to the 12th century Cathedral and the gritty Barras Market to the east. Further mapping stretches southwest to Pollok Park and the Burrell Collection. The map features historical and contemporary anecdotes; popular areas at larger scale, hundreds of shops, restaurants, caf s and bars; comprehensive travel information and index; shop by shop street maps of Buchanan Street and the Merchant City; and railway stations, bus routes, taxi ranks and car parks.

Dominic Beddow produces informative maps of cities, which are checked on foot, bicycle or scooter and then peppered with useful description, whimsy, humor and historical anecdote.
