Off to Glasgow again!

After all this preparation and anticipation, I’m finally on my way to Glasgow again! This time I’m travelling with my girlfriend, which will make the trip even more enjoyable.
Our Megabus arrived quite on time, is not too full, the power plug is working—unlike the USB plug—and it’s only a little bit too warm. I’ve had worse. 😉

In a little under a month I’ll be in glorious Glasgow again! I actually haven’t been to the Necropolis yet my previous trips, so that most certainly is on our to-do list this time.

Our Megabus buses are booked, as is our hotel room — unfortunately Euro Hostels was already full this time — so all we have to to is pack and go.

Although I still have to find a nice venue to watch the results of the Scottish Independence Referendum come in, I’m sure I’ll get that sorted well in time!

Where to best experience the Scottish Independence Referendum in Glasgow?

Being an aspiring historian and very interested in all things Scottish, I don’t want to miss out on what is quite possibly  going to be an historic moment: the Scottish Independence Referendum. So with only 99 days to go before Thursday 18 September, I started making arrangements for a trip to Glasgow during that week.

Apparently polling stations will open until 10pm. Should I expect any to see results that same night already, or only the next day?

And when the results do come in, what would be a the perfect place to watch them in Glasgow? I usually avoid pubs with big screens, but I suppose almost anything will nicer than just watching the telly in my hostel room. 🙂 I’d prefer a place that isn’t specifically tied to any political party, although — being kilted and all — I will probably fit in better with crowd that mainly voted yes…

So, any suggestions, yesscotlandayeforscotlandindyrefglasgowfoodie, l-aoreilly, fuckyeahglasgow, oh-glasgow or anyone else?
