    Glasgow, a gritty and creative city in Scotland, that's far more interesting than its neighbour, Edinburgh. That's the opinion of host Stephen Bailey, who guides you through the sights and sounds of Glasgow in today's episode. From underground music venues to galleries and tenement houses, Stephen explores an untouristic destination that captures many hearts. While many visitors flock to the Scottish capital, why not travel to Glasgow instead, even if it's only for ten minutes in this episode of the Kated Travel Podcast.
