Some of the ones I highly recommend may make people say "Huh!?" But they're the sights that might just make your day. For example, Glasgow's Tenement House offers a chance to drop into a perfectly preserved, 1930s-era, middle-class residence. The National Trust for Scotland bought this otherwise ordinary row home, located in a residential neighborhood, because […]
