There is a Guest House named Adelaides within walking distance of the Mitchell. It is owned by one of the city churches, very friendly staff and central to everything. We usually have a hire car and stay in a unit, we love to have more than a few days in that wonderful city.

Bonnie, Google gives this link: http://adelaides.co.uk/ I checked this out and it is within walking distance of the centre of town. No room rates given on the link. It is in the general airt of the Mitchell library, and so very convenient if one is doing family research. Glasgow is a compact city. A bus ride can take you from the centre of town to many historic/scenic sights within 15 minutes, even if one were commuting from the suburbs which surround the city itself. If you are in good physical shape, one can easily walk from the centre of town 'up to' Glasgow Cathedral, for example. As yet, the city itself has not been overly built with shopping malls or in the outskirts, and so the centre of the town (up Buchie, doon Sauchie and alang Aggie --- Buchanan, Sauchiehall and Argyle Streets) offers wonderful shopping venues. Glasgow is a very interesting city and has much to offer...with the Mitchell a treasure when doing family genealogy.
