I first learned about the University of Glasgow as a boy when I read the James Herriot book All Creatures Great and Small. Mr. Herriot, or James Alfred “Alf” Wight, OBE FRCVS, to use his real name, attended veterinary school there. I was able to visit the university for the first and only time just over a decade ago in 2008. Any time I visit a new city, I try to go to whatever college is nearby, but the Herriot books made this a destination of choice. Time was not on my side and I was unfortunately not able to visit the Veterinary school which is a couple of miles away in Bearsden. But, I did get to have a look around the Gilmorehill campus in the West End of Glasgow which was a short subway ride from where I was staying and attending a conference. The architecture is remarkable! I had a quick look about, bought a t-shirt, and did a tour of the Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum next door. I wanted to come back and have a better look around, and still hope I can some day, but for now that was the extent of my experience.
