Scottish Snapshots is a series of short posts about places I visited in 2013 but didn’t write about at the time

Wandering round Glasgow’s Botanic Gardens is something of a Boxing Day tradition for us – see also 2011’s entry. You can spend ages without getting wet in the Kibble Palace and the hothouses. The former has great statuary as well as greenery and splashes of colour:
