Not the turrets and chimneys of a fairytale castle peeking above the trees in a remote Scottish woodland, but the James Watt North Building, originally home to the Engineering Department of Glasgow University, as seen from the nearby Kelvin Way. Designed in a Scots Baronial style by J.J. Burnet with J. Oldrid Scott, it was built in the early 1900s.

3. Talk to the locals: As the slogan says, People Make Glasgow, and Glaswegians are generally a friendly bunch. If you're lost, they'll happily give you directions. If you want to know more about something, they'll happily tell you. Of course, it might not be completely accurate (or even remotely correct!), but Glaswegians never let a little thing like the truth get in the way of telling a good story!

With the universities starting up again for another academic year, here's three bits of advice for those who are new to Glasgow:

1. Always look up: Glasgow has some amazing architecture, but you have to look up to really appreciate it.

2. Avoid getting stuck in a university bubble: Glasgow is an amazing city, but you have explore it to truly appreciate it, so make sure you get out and see as much of it as possible.

Westdel on Queen's Place in the Hyndland area of Glasgow. Designed by George Washington Browne, it was built in 1890 for Robert MacLehose, who ran the Glasgow University Press and whose initials are inscirbed on its date plaque. At one time, Westdel had a bedroom designed by Charles Rennie MacKintosh, but this is now in the University's collections.
