On Saturday 19th November 2011 I headed to Glasgow, Scotland.
While there I visited the Braehead Shopping Centre and Xscape, which is home to Paradise Island Adventure Golf.
Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to replay the course (having previously visited and played the two 18-hole Adventure Golf courses in May 2009).
Link to more information, photos and videos of other course visits on our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour.

Glasgow Minigolf Tour & Course Visits 89, 90 & 91
This weekend our Crazy World of Minigolf Tour headed north of the border for the first time, as we visited Glasgow.
Knowing that there are two 18-hole Adventure Golf courses at Paradise Island at Xscape Braehead I had also heard that many of the city's parks are home to Putting courses.
First off at Victoria Park we found a 9-hole Putting course (#89).
Followed by a very derelict and unique 18-hole course that was very unplayable.
Paradise Island is home to Maggie McCaw's Challenge course (#90) and the Tiki Hut Trail course (#91).
After a 36-hole draw with Emily the decider was whether either of us could win at the lucky 19th Hole, and unfortunately for me, Emily did!
After buying a Glasgow postcard I noticed that on the photo of Glasgow Green there looked to be a course next to the monument to Nelson. However, on visiting the park we found no sign of a Minigolf course.
Prior to all of the Minigolf action I fuelled up on Ham & Eggs and also spotted a Eggs & Ham sign!
All in all a very fun minigolfing weekend in a great city.
