    Visit Scotland's oldest public museum, inside the University of Glasgow's Gothic main building, then wander the cloisters.

    Why it's a good date: Curious, quiet and a wee bit unexpected. The university's cloisters and quadrangles are a lovely walk in their own right.

    • Bar
    • Big night
    • Romantic

    Spend an evening on the cobbled lane off Byres Road, with its strings of lights, bars, restaurants and the Grosvenor cinema.

    Why it's a good date: The classic Glasgow date night for a reason: dinner, a film and a drink without moving more than a few steps. Go midweek if you want a quieter table.

  • The Templeton Building's patterned red-brick front on Glasgow Green, with tables in the beer garden below

    WEST on the Green

    Templeton Building, Glasgow Green, East End

    15 Binnie Place, Glasgow G40 1AW

    Share a pint brewed on site at WEST, in the old Templeton carpet factory on Glasgow Green, a red-brick building made to look like a Venetian palace.

    Why it's a good date: WEST says its beer hall and beer garden are both dog friendly, right up to closing time, so nobody has to wait outside. Walk the dog round Glasgow Green first, then take a garden table if it's dry or a seat in the beer hall if it isn't.
