#Team14: Challenge Accepted

Seeking proof that the host city of the XX Commonwealth Games is in fact as friendly as they claim, I set the people of Glasgow a challenge to show me the sights on my first ever visit. They didn't disappoint, there's no doubting they'll be excellent hosts this summer. Here's my photo diary of everything I managed to cram into 24hours...

"Fáilte gu Alba" – the Gaelic translation

We whizzed past this friendly sign

First stop, some culture at Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum

...where you can see what a wild haggis looks like

The best fuel in all the land

Some Glasgow 2014 official venue spotting

There's plenty of green in the city, perfect for a run or cycle

These flags are proudly displayed all over Glasgow
