Malaysia, Singapore, Japan and
Germany among them. So last

Glasgow — the best of Scotland without
notice, Dan asked me if I wanted
to tag along to Scotland and France
for 10 days, I readily agreed.
I spent most of my time in Glasgow while Dan worked in nearby
Greenock and I ended up falling
in love with Glasgow, which is not
usually a tourist destination, but
perhaps ought to be.
Glasgow met all my criteria for
the perfect spot for a tag-along
vacation — a place where I felt
safe alone, could travel easily on
foot and find lots to photograph.
The city (which has about 600,000
residents within its limits and 1.2
million in the urban area) has a
long and varied history, interesting buildings and architecture,
beautiful and extensive public
gardens, vibrant shopping and
commercial areas, 13 city-owned
museums, and some great restaurants and pubs.
Plus, a real bonus in these days
of the weak dollar: almost everything I did was free.
We did have some luck on our
side — in the city where the

And just how unused to hordes of tourists is the museenough for just sweaters in the day. Also, since Scotland
is so far north, it does not get dark until nearly 9 p.m. um? Unlike almost every other museum I’ve ever been in,
in May, leaving Dan and I plenty of time to do things
together after he returned from Greenock.

things to be sure to see.
My favorite place, which was not on that list and I’m sure

to 1831. Some were elaborate little buildings, some impres- it allows photos; even with a flash. “Maybe just don’t use a

A quote from the menu: “If you read the menu all the way
through and still find you are alive, and if there is nothing
you like, then let the kitchen know and we’ll call you a taxi
or we’ll phone in a pizza for you or make you something
you want.”
My dinner, a “Mushsmallroom burger,” was a sauteed
Portobello mushroom served on a bun with fresh greens,
cheese and chips (French fries to us Yanks). It cost, with
drink, only about $10.
Our favorite pub was The Drum and Monkey, where
we had dinner twice. The old bank building has comfy
leather chairs, fireplaces and a big central bar. The food
menu is small but includes some traditional Scottish
favorites. We tried Cullen Skink, a chowder of smoked
haddock, green beans and potatoes and Arbroath
Smokie fishcakes. Perhaps the best part was that it was
only a 20-minute walk from our hotel, so we didn’t have
to worry about transportation.
Other of my favorite destinations included:
■ The Botanic Garden, which, in addition to acres of
outdoor gardens, includes two massive glasshouses; one
houses mostly orchids, begonias, succulents and other
small plants; the other, called the Kibble Palace, was moved
to the site in 1871 and restored in 2004, and houses largescale tropical plants and art works.
■ The Hunterian Art Gallery on the University of
Glasgow campus, where I was one of less than two dozen
visitors. It boasts a large collection of the works of James
McNeill Whistler, 17th and 18th century paintings by
many major European artists, and 19th and 20th century
works by Scottish artists. Inside the museum is also a reSee GLASGOW, page 27

GLASGOW
continued from page 25
creation of one of the homes of Glasgow’s favorite
son, the architect Charles Rennie Mackintosh, whose
arts and crafts homes and furniture found international renown.
(Glasgow has many other examples of Mackintosh’s
work, including the Glasgow School of Art, the Lighthouse, the Willow Tea Rooms, the Scotland Street
School and the House for an Art Lover, completed in
1996 from plans drawn up by Mackintosh in 1900.)
■ The People’s Palace was built in 1898 as a cultural center for the masses. Located in the city’s oldest park, Glasgow Green, the grounds also feature
the 1888 Doulton Fountain, the largest terracotta
fountain in the world. Next to the museum, which
tells the story of the city from 1750 to the present
in interactive exhibits, is yet another massive glasshouse, the Winter Garden, where you can enjoy coffee or lunch in wicker chairs among tropical plants.
■ Glasgow Cathedral is where I was going when
I found the Necropolis. The cathedral is the oldest
building in Glasgow and the only remaining example of medieval architecture. The original church
was founded by St. Mungo in the 6th century, and
his remains are in the lower levels of the cathedral.
It has some fine stained glass windows and I spent
a long time reading the inscriptions on some of the
many memorials placed on its walls. Outside the
Cathedral are a number of very old tombs.
■ Glasgow City Chambers — the place I probably wouldn’t have visited if not tipped off by my
friend. Completed in 1888 and inaugurated by
Queen Victoria, the chambers feature lavish use of
granite, marble, tile mosaics, gold leaf, a stainedglass dome, exotic hardwoods, and a “banqueting hall” with murals depicting the history of
the city by local artists from the Glasgow School.
Free tours are offered twice a day. I was one of six
people on my tour and the only American.
After leaving Glasgow, Dan and I visited Edinburgh, Paris and Fountainbleu, France. While all
had their attractions (who doesn’t love Paris?) as
a person who tries to avoid crowds and spending
money for no good reason, Glasgow was my favorite stop on this tag-along vacation.

PRIZE PUPIL
The solid black spot at the center of the eye,
known as the pupil, provides a window into the
dark interior of the eye. The size of the pupil is
automatically adjusted by nerve signals sent to
the muscles of the iris to allow just the right
amount of light to enter the eye for seeing.
The eye’s focusing mechanism also controls
the pupil’s size much in the same way that a
photographer will close the camera’s aperture
to achieve sharper focus. Size reduction in the
pupil sharpens near vision, which helps to
account for the fact that farsighted people will
often squint when doing near work. Corrective
lenses can help to remedy this problem.
Do you have trouble reading the newspaper
or restaurant menu? If yes, corrective lenses
can help improve your vision. Bring your eyewear prescription to MENLO OPTICAL at 1166
University Drive, on the corner of Oak Grove
Avenue and University Drive. We carry a wide
selection of quality frames in the latest shapes,
sizes, and colors. We fill prescriptions with
lightweight, scratch-resistant lenses. Call us
at 322-3900.
P.S. Pupil size can change from 2 millimeters to 8 millimeters, which can have the effect
of changing the amount of light that enters the
eye by 30 times.
Mark Schmidt is an American Board of Opticianry
and National Contact Lens Examiners Certified
Optician licensed by the Medical Board of California.

Prehistoric packrats
The archives of climate change
appear in the oddest places —
like packrat piles dating back
millennia. This is the subject
of a free public lecture at the
U.S. Geological Survey at 7 p.m.
Thursday, Oct. 30, in Building
3 of the campus at 345 Middlefield Road.
Research ecologist Kenneth
Cole will tell how piles of vegetation hoarded by prehistoric
packrats provide clues to previous
periods of rapid climate warming.
Three sudden warming periods
over the last 20,000 years caused
the vegetation to migrate and
change, giving clues to help interpret what is going on now. For
information, call 329-5000.

Let’s Ask Ann . . .
Dear Readers,
The turmoil in our financial markets is
unsettling for a lot of would-be buyers.
Many readers want to know how the situation will affect
their ability to secure a home loan. Below are a few tips
for obtaining a mortgage.
Before you meet with a mortgage broker: 1) Obtain
a credit report, three years tax returns, and proof of
current employment. 2) Pay off credit cards & car loans
if possible. 3) Have at least a 25% down payment. 4)
To get the best rate possible, give your loan package to
at least two mortgage brokers and make sure they use
local home appraisers. Bank of America, Wells Fargo
and Princeton Financial have plenty of funds to loan
and offer excellent service.
