Glasgow is a music city that takes it tunes very seriously with there being a wide range of great record shops to explore no matter the kind of genre you are searching for.
The city has produced several huge acts such as Simple Minds, Franz Ferdinand and Primal Scream, with some setting out on their musical discovery browsing through the racks of records stores in their younger days.
Although vinyl records may have made a ‘comeback’ in recent years, the revival came too late for many shops with Glasgow having bid farewell to many great record shops which had been part of the city's identity for years.
So, whether you are looking to take shelter for the rain or are in search of an album you've not quite yet been able to get your hands on - here is a list of fourteen of the best record shops in Glasgow.
