Things to do in the local area

The East Renfrewshire and South Lanarkshire area has no shortage of things to do during your stay at the Best Western Eglinton Arms Hotel. Whether you want culture, relaxation or excitement, we have it, so come and explore the rich history and countryside which made this area a thriving centre in Scotland.

Step back in time when you visit Scotland's magnificent ruined historic buildings and castles, learn more about the area’s history when you look around our fine museums, many of which are award winning, and spend a day at the Whitelee Windfarm - Europe's second largest windfarm with beautiful country walks. 

Outdoor lovers have no shortage of things to do with excellent walking through the Clyde Valley and countryside, golf courses that are among the best parkland courses in Scotland, and Strathclyde Country Park – an internationally renowned water-sports centre set amidst a beautiful and tranquil nature reserve.

Alternatively, there are plenty of Glasgow and Edinburgh activities just a short hop from the Best Western Eglinton Arms Hotel.
If you are at a loss for something to do why not travel into Glasgow. The city is a shopper's paradise with the largest selection of high street and designer stores in Scotland. With shopping havens such as Buchanan Galleries and Princes Square in the heart of the city you'll be spoilt for choice.

Glasgow's West End hosts a number of the city's best restaurants, cafe-bars and exclusive boutiques. Or just enjoy a stroll around Kelvingrove Park or the Botanic Gardens!
