Grace Fallon uses her social media to share the latest and greatest things to do in and around Glasgow – from foodie finds to delicious drinks spots.

We asked her to name just three spots she always finds herself heading back to.

Millport

Close to my heart, Millport is my favourite place to go for a weekend or even just a day trip. The last few years have seen some new businesses open that have really made it the place to be. With its relaxed atmosphere and nostalgic factor for me, it’s always going to be my number one.

Pollok Country Park

Located close to Shawlands in Glasgow’s Southside, Pollok Park is an absolute gem. You’ve got gorgeous woodland walks, the walled garden, the Burrell Collection, Pollok House when it hopefully finishes its refurb later this year, and my favourite thing of all – Highland cows! It’s the perfect place to spend a Sunday.

Peacock’s Ice Cream

There are plenty of flavours to choose from. Image: Grace Fallon

Quite a new find for me but I’m already obsessed. Peacock’s is another Glasgow Southside special with a beautiful shop in Battlefield where they have incredible North American style ice cream. The flavours are all so delicious and creamy but my absolute favourite is Gold – caramelised white chocolate ice cream with crunchy pistachio pieces. It’s award-winning for a reason.
