Forge Retail Park — Attraction in Scotland

Hard to write a review for this place as it has a bunch of shops of varying quality. Best I can say is if you are driving, keep your wits about you, there is some sort of one way system in operation but no one seems to know exactly how it operates or who gas right of way. Pedestrians regularly don't use the zebra crossings and it feels like sometimes they hide behind the slightly overgrown bushes before jumping out although to be fair, they might just be short rather than in hiding.

If you like the sound of that as a driving challenge, you can play it on extra hard by going in on a day when Celtic have a home game - the park has a no football traffic policy that doesn't work and the roads and roundabouts nearby contain even more of those hiding/small pedestrians I spoke about but dressed in green and white camouflage to help blend into the...

I do like a Whopper, but their fries are nothing compared to...

There are some great essential shops here, some fast food, some main high street shops, but it's not going to offer you anything exciting, local, or boutique.

I only go to the gym, and it's the sort of place you're going to hear weird noises at night. But it's good for what it does.

Much like other similar retail parks around Glasgow. It needs a little government intervention, investment, and thought for the future. I believe this place can be a local favourite again with...
