Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum - Departing Edinburgh, we travel through Scotlandâs Central Belt to Glasgow, our largest city and former industrial powerhouse of the Empire. Here there is time to visit the magnificent Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, which opened in 1901 and is still one of the top visitor attractions in Scotland.
