These include James Kelman, William Boyd, Louse Welsh and the late, great William McIlvaney to name but a few."

So far so good. Just completed my very first semester at this uni and, to be honest, I can't complain too much. Every time I feel stressed, I just visit the beautiful Gilbert Scott Building to get some Hogwarts vibes and feel motivated again. Love it.

The scenery reminded me of the Harry Potter world I had imagined before my visit. As I got used to it, I even started to feel that it looked a bit like my own university campus. I still wonder if I should have bought the limited-edition whisky at the gift shop. The museum also had many impressive exhibits.

The campus is absolutely stunning — the Gothic-style buildings make you feel like you’ve stepped into a movie set (almost like Hogwarts!). It’s not only beautiful but also full of history, and the views from the university grounds are breathtaking.

An absolutely stunning campus to visit! The University of Glasgow feels like stepping into history – the architecture is breathtaking, with its Gothic towers and beautiful cloisters that look like something out of Harry Potter. The Hunterian Museum and the university grounds are free to explore, and the views over the city are amazing. Even if you’re not a student, it’s a must-see attraction when visiting Glasgow. If you're visiting with kids, like I did, it's definitely an inspiration for them.

The University of Glasgow is absolutely stunning and feels like stepping into another world. As a Harry Potter fan it is hard to believe no scenes were filmed here because the architecture is magical. For any tourist this is the most essential place to visit in Glasgow and it truly leaves a lasting impression.

This is a beautiful university and we were glad that were able to visit this on our say trip. The architecture is stunning. We were there during graduation and it was great to see the graduates celebrating with their family and friends.
