Howay Bonnie Lads, hadaway an shite, canny bag a Tudor, divvent dunch us, pet


etc etc

Haven't been for years. Thinking of heading there tomorrow with the missus and my folks. No time to trail through the tourist info site and trip advisor etc (or am I just a lazy sod?) and only going to have from mid morning to lateish afternoon there tomorrow anyway.

Any (Viz? ) top tips from you locals for things of culture to see for a few hours to keep 4 adults (2 early 40s, 2 early/mid 60s) occupied.

Have a wander down to the quayside. There are good pubs/restaurants, nice bridges to look at and you can have a look around the Sage building and the Baltic gallery.... and I think it's all free

Ta very much for the replies

Them bords look canny enough to me like, y knaa, bonny lad. Way aye.

Went to the Baltic. Still can't 'get' contemporary art but don't mind having a look once in a blue moon. Impressive building and setup.

Also went to the Sage - impressive in and out.

Then went for a wander by the quayside. It pi55ed down. A lot.

Made a nice change and kept me ma happy
