You are treated like you are the most important person while you are here. We chose to book dinner here as well as we were celebrating my wife's birthday early. The attention to detail that this staff puts into place is extraordinary! It was our best stay while in Scotland by far.

If someone is looking for a recent review then this Stadium is great, the seats are better than…read moresome other stadiums I've been to, the price is £20 for adult £10 for 65+ £10 for U18 so the prices are great. You can sit where you want which is a huge plus, I think more Stadiums should do that. At half time you can buy stuff and got pitchside. Take pictures next to the pitch. It's great, I recommend it!

First-Hand Experience: More info about my personal experience at this stadium - even though I go to Hamilton fairly regularly when on tour or travelling, I've only visited this stadium once, and I wasn't impressed. I actually thought the old one was a little more grand and fitting for a club of this size. The facilities are shiny and new, but just not big enough. And the turf grass makes you feel like you're at a training match. I will go back and see the stadium a second time, though, as I always try and visit stadiums whenever I drive through towns. So when I was doing my first tour of Scotland in 2011, I also hit up every single stadium in the country. My obsession with footy (soccer to Americans) is the reason. Every stadium review - like all my reviews - are based on first-hand personal experience, usually from multiple visits. As recently as Fall 2014, when I was "stuck" in UK for 3 months, I went to most of them yet again while travelling. I have pictures of me at many of them, which I will post later. Also, when back in Scotland I plan to take more pix, and add more stadia! So watch this space! *** return to regular review *** This is the new stadium of Hamilton Academical, and it's very modern and cute. It's in their red and white colours and holds just 6k people since opening in 2001. It currently has "Tigerturf" which sounds fun but is actually just plastic. In fact, the only reason the stadium has 6k capacity is that it's the league minimum. The stand that took it up to 6k is a temporary one. It's a fine new stadium though and serves the purpose.

Situated down what seems like a wee back-road in Uddingston, the Castle Rooms is a function suite…read morefor events hire. It's located right behind the Tunnocks factory. Don't trust your maps, just sneak up the back way! I went here for a friend's 21st, and was really impressed with the function room. It was held in the Mill Suite, which is a downstairs suite with 2 rooms, a coatroom, and bathroom facilities. The main room consists of a bar, a seating/lounge area, and a dance floor with long tables situated at either side. It's a lovely room, very clean, modern, and welcoming. It'd be a lovely place to hold any milestone birthday, engagement party, wedding reception, etc. The prices of drinks at the bar were pretty reasonable, and space to relax or to mingle and chat. The dancefloor is a good size - definitely plenty of room for all your friends' and families' embarrassing dance moves, and all those dance-along favourites like the (heeeey) Macarena! This is definitely the kind of place I'd think of hiring for any big special occasion.

One of last years trends for me (before the weather kicked in) was going to as many museums and…read moreparks as possible in and around Glasgow. Partly because its inexpensive and because it's a good way to see Scotland with my Finnish girlfriend. Our National Trust for Scotland memberships served us well in here, a place I haven't been for around 15 years. It's terrifying how much I can still remember. As well as the museum of the Scottish explorer David Livingstone, which houses alot of his own personal belongings, there is a play park and gorgeous woodland garden that is a joy to stroll around. My luck being my luck, it wasn't the warmest day on record so we spent more time indoors than out. If I ever have kids, I will bring them here and tell them stories about when my Dad took me here oh so many years ago. Free to all, with an admission charge for the museum itself. National Trust for Scotland members go free.

Nice looking place at the bottom of Blantyre, The building itself is impressive. With a huge statue…read moreof Livingstone outside being attacked by a lion. however the museum itself inside is quite boring. Certainly not worth the entrance fee. There is some interesting stuff about the abolishing of slavery, and a replica of his tomb. There is also some of Livingstones diaries and medical equipment on display, (and a disturbing looking thing for cutting holes in skulls!!) The tea room is well priced and and has a good menu. A lot of the building seems shut off the the public, like old classrooms and stuff and they could maybe make more of this. His red shirt he wore when he met HM stanley is on display. ( I presume its not a replica!!!) The surrounding area is nice and a lovely park to walk in , but the asking price of £6 is bit steep for what this museum offers if you ask me.

Junglee Fun is a children's soft play centre with a difference. Of course there is a cracking play…read morearea for little kiddies which has the usual things you would expect such as ball pits and slides. The difference being thay Junglee Fun also has a pretty decent cafe for mimmies and daddies to chillax in while their little monsters get rid of some excess energy. Rather than the usual cup of tea in a Styrofoam cup affair as most soft play centres have, Junglee Fun sells yummy homemade soups, sandwiches ans proper frothy coffee in actual cups! there is also free wifi if you fancy taking your laptop along and getting some work done confident that your kids are having loads of fun in a safe environment. As well as soft play Junglee Fun also offers a variety of other activities depending on when you go such as face painting, dressing up or music and arts classes. I would say that Junglee Fun would mostly appeal to toddlers and of course, big kids like me!
