Blythswood Hill where the Art House stands, has long been associated with artists and the colourful types who frequent the area. If shopping is what you've come for, then a five minute stroll down to Buchanan Street is a must. Princes Square offers exquisite surroundings with restaurants, bars - and beautiful shops. The newly opened Buchanan Galleries is a shoppers delight. Another five minutes and the Italian Centre, with its pavement cafes and restaurants, provides all one could wish for in designer couture.
