Huntarian museum and River Cruise

We spent time in the morning with Noel's daughter  at the Huntarian Museum, situated in the lovely old Glasgow uni grounds. The museum started as the extensive collection of assorted things of Dr William Hunter, born in 1718, a noted anatomist and obstetrician. Hence lots of preserved bits of flesh in glass bottles.  There was much more including an interesting display of the Roman occupation of Scotland.

After that we walked down to the Riverside Museum of Transport that we had visited last year . As an aside, goats cheese is prevalent on menus at a similar price to ordinary cheese.  We went on a cruise of  a section of the Clyde. It was interesting to learn of the history of some of the old buildings and the newer buildings.  We saw the major shipyards, once the foremost in the world (according to the guide) , then fallen into disuse, and now being used again.  We saw 1/4 of an aircraft carrier hull almost ready to move to the next stage of its construction.

We enjoyed a delicious meal and good conversation with N's daughter and her partner in the evening.
