Going to Glasgow for a week

Well, Looks like we are going to Scotland again in September. I am really looking forward to it this time as I will be contacting my cousins as well as doing my family research on Ancestry.com
My sister and another friend are joining my partner Matt and I for the journey so I will be able to show her the very house my grandparents rented when my dad was very young. 
Any tips on Where to go (locally) and what to do would be appreciated.

Back from Scotland

Back from Scotland and I had the great opportunity of seeing a lot of Macintosh Buildings in Glasgow as well as seeing the more historic castles and churches all the way to Edinburgh. 
I have to say the highlight was when I was able to see my dad's primary school and then the house that he grew up in until they moved to the US when he was 12 years old.  (My dad lived until he was only 38 when he died of a heart attack in 1982) 
I had no idea of the view from atop the hill behind his house where you can see the foot of the highlands.
