ThingsToDoThe Burrell and a slow Southside afternoon →
One substantial collection with room for food and rest. The rail journey is only part of the approach: include the walk or shuttle through Pollok Country Park.

The Burrell Collection
The Burrell puts art and collected objects into a woodland setting in Pollok Country Park. Spend time looking closely at a few pieces, then change pace with a meal or a short outdoor wander. Coming south for this collection deserves its own half-day rather than being squeezed between West End museums.
