Date spot in Glasgow
Queen's Park and the flagpole view
Climb to the flagpole at the top of Queen's Park for a view right across Glasgow, then wander down past the pond to the cafés on Victoria Road.
Queen's Park, Victoria Road, South Side
Address: Queen's Park, Victoria Road, Glasgow G42 8LU- Outdoors
- Free
- Dog friendly
- Romantic
Why it's a good date: Glasgow's parks welcome dogs on a short lead or kept close at heel, so it's an easy one to bring them on. Go on a clear evening: on a good day you can pick out the University tower and the hills beyond.
