Date spot in Glasgow

Pollok Country Park and the Burrell Collection

Walk the woodland paths, say hello to the Highland cattle, then head into the Burrell Collection, a free museum right in the park.

Pollokshaws Road, South Side

The Burrell Collection, 2060 Pollokshaws Road, Glasgow G43 1AT

Why it's a good date: Feels like a day in the country without leaving the city. The Burrell makes it rain-proof, and the collection is as varied as the park. Dogs are welcome in the park on a short lead or close at heel (mind the cattle), but not inside the Burrell, so take turns going in.
