      The Clydeside Distillery

Today we visited the Clydside Distillery. There were a man who told us the history of the Whiskey and the history of the production. This building is located next to the Clyde River, and it has a museum on the inside.



The Clydeside Distillery is located within the Pumphouse building which once controlled entry into the famous Glasgow Queen's Dock. The Pumphouse was originally designed to provide hydraulic power to operate the swing bridge, servicing the commercial dock which witnessed the export of whisky with ships destined for all continents of the world.

A Very Special Day

O n Friday 30th November we had an exciting afternoon at the University of Glasgow, one of the most beautiful buildings in the city, since 1451(year of its foundation). Inside the building there's a History and Science Museum called the Hunterian Museum in which there were a lot of interesting objects and historical remains from different times in history such as old roman shoes and stuffed animals  including internal organs!! This place is worth the visit.

On 27th of November some students of my school and I left Rome to land to Glasgow in order to participate to a European project concerning the Europen citizenship and the English language. For the next three weeks we will attend an English language course in the city centre of Glasgow. This photo was taken at the very moment we arrived in Edinburgh. Look at the huge capital letters! We took a picture altogether after almost six hours of exhausting travelling.

Our trip to Scotland(1st day)

 On the 27th November my English group and I left from Rome to Glasgow to participate to a European Project. Our trip lasted 6 hours - we had to take two flights - due to a stopover in Frankfurt where we stopped for 50 minutes.When we arrived in Glasgow it was colder than we expected, but luckily there was a bus waiting for us and we arrived to the hotel almost an hour later.

A Foggy Day

When we got out of the hotel to go to school, this was the weather like that morning. I was really surprised also because temperature was -2 degrees! It was really cold during all the day and you can imagine our joy when we finally went back to the hotel after an entire day out.

On Sunday 1st  December my classmates and I visited one of the most fascinating attraction in Glasgow: The Science Museum. It wasn't the first time, I went there also last March, but I enjoyed the visit so much because I'm attending the last year of school in a Scientific Lyceum and I love everything related to science and subjects like that. After visiting the Museum, we assisted to a fantastic live show in the Glasgow Planetarium, a huge room in the museum dedicated to this kind of shows and in my opinion I can surely say that this was the most interesting part of our scientific journey in the museum because we experienced a fantastic half an hour in which we orbited around the space, passing from a planet to another one, listening to a detailed - and quite understandable - voice over commenting everything.
