Outing to Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum - Thursday 21st September 2017


On Thursday 21st September, we had a very successful final outing for 2017, when 58 pensioners departed from a wet Edinburgh on the Big bus. We had a leisurely coffee stop at the Mackinnon Mills near Coatbridge, where we all had time for some retail therapy. We then travelled on to Glasgow to the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, arriving in time for the half hour Organ recital at 1pm. The Organist played a variety of music including songs from the musicals.
Although we ended up with a lovely sunny day in Glasgow the wind was quite cold and with so much to see at Kelvingrove we did not venture elsewhere. The bus driver was lucky as he was able to park at Kelvingrove for the whole time we were there, so it was an easy departure to Grangemouth for High Tea. This was at the Leapark Hotel and most said they thought it was one of the best yet. Thanks to everyone involved in organising our summer coach outings this year
