Why is it named Argyll Hotel Glasgow?
Even though the hotel has ‘’Argyll’’ in the name, it’s not located within the county of Argyll. Glasgow belongs to the historic county of Lanarkshire. But good to know is that Glasgow is close to Argyll. And Argyll, also known as the ‘’coast of the Gaels’’ is a beautiful county that includes multiple isles. It’s filled with history as it once was a medieval bishopric as well as an early modern earldom and dukedom.
You probably already feel this coming: I highly recommend you to visit the country of Argyll, too! So there is a lot to see and do from your hotel. But how is the hotel itself?
