Glennifer Braes Country Park

On our previous visit to Glasgow we found a wonderful "campsite" right in town, in the Burrell Collection's carpark in Pollok Park. Quiet. Secluded. Convenient. Bus service within a few hundred feet. Almost free. We arrived in the afternoon, deposited a coin in the pay-and-display, leveled the camper, and settled down for an enjoyable evening prior to touring some new sites in Glaswegia. We were beginning to think about dinner when the Park Ranger drove up, surmised what we were up to, and informed us, very politely, that, despite the absence of signage, over-night parking was not allowed. The police would be around to visit after dark, he said. Fortunately, Vicki had identified a back-up location, in the suburb of Paisley, west of Glasgow, high on a ridge overlooking the Clyde Valley. We liked the Glennifer Braes Country Park well enough that we spent three nights there. We drove to the Burrell and House for an Art Lover and used the Silverburn Shopping Center P&R for getting to the downtown. Oh yes, our stay in Glasgow was notable for another reason: we got the Grey Wanderer washed and waxed; for L7! It is now the White Wanderer.
