The Alamo Guest House, Glasgow
The Alamo Guest House is a beautifully preserved 1880s Victorian townhouse located in the heart of Glasgow’s vibrant West End. Built by craftsmen Thomas Hill and William S. Johnson, the structure was a feat of engineering; to combat the soft, silty ground near the River Kelvin, Hill famously drove 40-foot pine logs into the earth to provide a solid foundation for the masonry.
Lonely Planet + 1 more“The Alamo may not sound a peaceful spot, but that’s exactly what this great place is. Opposite Kelvingrove Park, it feels miles from the city’s hustle, but several of the best museums and restaurants in town are close by.”
