Luggage
There are several locations where you can leave your bags if you arrive before your hotel or Infiniti Properties apartment is ready, or your flight is a long time after check out.
Several websites, including BagBnB and Stasher offer paid services to take your bags in the Glasgow area.
There is a luggage drop service at Glasgow Central Train Station (map).
If none of these options work for you, you might be able to use our office to leave your luggage if you are staying with us in an Infiniti Properties apartment, available from AirBnB or Booking.com. The address is Infiniti Properties, 1016 Argyle Street, Glasgow G3 8LX on the western edge of the city, 10 minutes by taxi but on the way to the airport. This would only be available as a service between 9 am and 5:30 pm weekdays and it is best to contact us in advance for this.

The bus and trains should get you to the city centre in around 15 – 20 minutes.

Places of natural beauty and great scenery in Scotland
On of Scotland’s most notable features is its landscape and breathtaking views. We also have a few man-made spots truly worthy of that Instagram moment. Here are some of our favourites in or around the city of Glasgow.
Loch Lomond
Access this most beautiful loch (lake) by bus or train from Glasgow city centre. Enjoy the gentle sun or misty rain, each with their own show-stopping effects. Surrounded on all sides by dramatic mountains, you can also access nearby Ben Lomond.
Ben Lomond
The most southern Munro (a Scottish mountain over 3000 feet or 914 metres approximately), Ben Lomond is actually a relatively easy walk for those with reasonable fitness. Accessed from Rowardennan car park. With a well-paved track that many tourists follow each day, this is an easy way to get stunning view over Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park, if the weather permits. Please always take care when climbing Scottish mountains, as weather can change quickly and they can hold dangers for the unprepared. Find safety tips, and more info on Ben Lomond at Walkhighlands.
Pollok Country Park
Home to the Burrell Collection (currently under refurbishment at time of writing), this park has many miles of walking, playing fields, children’s play, and activities. Visit the historical Pollok House, and step back in time.
Beloved by the locals, Pollok Park is a great way to escape to the country, whilst staying in the south side of Glasgow!
Glasgow Botanic Gardens
Containing graceful Victorian greenhouses, the Botanic Gardens are a pleasant change of pace in Glasgow’s West End.
