We have many oddball traditions in this country, but one we'd never let go of is afternoon tea - better still, a boozy one. Cake, sandos, Champagne... what's not to love? Whether you're organising a hen do or celebrating a special occasion, the city is home to some of the finest midday wining and dining. So next time you fancy some cream scones and bubbly at 3pm (eh, that's us every afternoon), check out our guide to afternoon tea in Glasgow.
