Like a friend in a foreign city, The Locals' Guide to Glasgow is a new departure in travel guides. Based around interviews with local legends, the book gives a fresh insight from a diverse range of people living there. In addition, tips on where to stay, eat, drink and party are sandwiched between recommendations for romantics, winter retreats and food fanatics.

Where other guides need a holiday in itself just to read them cover to cover, we ve cut to the chase to give you the best bits Glasgow has to offer.
