Excursion
The Congress excursion will consist of a series of visits to famous Glasgow Museums and Landmarks.
Our coach will depart from the Hilton Glasgow Hotel at 10.00 sharp to travel the relatively short distance to the Kelvingrove Art Gallery & Museum, which opened in 1901 as part of the Glasgow International Exhibition. Glaswegians are justifiably proud of this free attraction. It features 22 themed, state-of-the-art galleries. Discover everything from art to animals, Ancient Egypt to Charles Rennie Mackintosh. The collections are extensive and internationally significant, with famous paintings by Renoir, Rembrant, Salvador Dali and, of course, 'the Glasgow Boys'.
Please note that SCCA will not be providing lunch. The Museum Restaurant serves food and drinks throughout the day and at lunchtime organ recitals can be enjoyed daily from the groundfloor and cafe. There are excellent souvenir shops in the basement, adjacent to the restaurant.
In the afternoon our coach will take us to the Riverside Museum. (Depart from Kelvingrove at 14.15) The Museum, designed by Zaha Hadid Architects, is Glasgow's multi-award winning transport museum located on the banks of the River Clyde, with over 3,000 objects on display from collections of historic vehicles to skateboards. You can walk through the reconstructed old Glasgow streets and visit the shops, bars and 'Subway'. Climb aboard, a train, tram or bus, help put out a fire with the interactive fire engine or discover Glasgow's rich shipbuilding history. There are over 90 large touch screen panels full of memories and films telling the stories behind the objects. The state-of-the-art Museum is free to enter, has a cafe and restaurant and souvenir shop.
Berthed outside you will find the Tall Ship, "Glenlee", the UK's only floating Clyde-built ship, which was built as a bulk cargo carrier in 1896. Step aboard and explore this restored Victorian Sailing Ship. This attraction is also free.
As an alternative to the visit to the Riverside Museum, a tour and whisky tasting, lasting approximately 1 hour has been arranged at the nearby Clydeside Distillery, ( https://www.theclydeside.com/book-a-tour/the-clydeside-tour/) which is housed in the Pumphouse building. It should be noted that numbers are limited for this tour. It will be a case of "first come first served" and Delegates and Officials who wish to participate must book as soon as possible and pay for their visit by 8th May 2022. Cost per person is £15.
Closing Banquet
The closing banquet, hosted by ICCF, will commence at 20.00 in the Riverside suite with pre-diiner drinks available in the Riverside Suite from 19.30
