What makes a dog walker book out in Glasgow
Glasgow is dense and dog-friendly, built on tenement flats where a midday walk is part of daily life. The West End, Finnieston, and Southside sit close to the city's big parks, and the Subway and tight grid mean you rarely need a car. The constraint is the weather, so the walkers who win are the ones who do not cancel when it is wet. Reliability builds a full standing calendar.
