You step out onto George Square and the city’s stone faces seem to lean in as the van eases away, engine a soft companion. Within an hour the urban roar thins and the road opens onto the low folds of central Scotland: standing stones, ruined royal walls, and a coastline that presses its cold fingers at defensive castles.
