A mother has been voted Glasgow's 87th most popular tourist attraction after being accidentally registered on TripAdvisor.
Mary Johnston, 60, from Bellahouston, in the south side of Glasgow, was given four five star ratings on the popular review website. A smiling photo of Ms Johnston accompanied her ranking which saw her sandwiched between 88th placed gig venue - The Hydro - where Beyonce recently performed - and 86th Ruchill Park, which is said to offer 'the best view in Glasgow'.
Trip Advisor’s automatically generated text asks users on the website: 'Been to Mary Johnston? Share your experiences!' Ms Johnston is rated far higher than many of the 163 attractions listed in the Scottish city.
One TripAdvisor, Perrierdoumbe, wrote in his review of Mary: 'This attraction wasn’t in the guidebooks but is fun for all the family if you’re a fan of people called Mary or rotationally-challenged photos. 'The doorman seemed a bit grumpy though and didn’t seem to want to let us in.'
Jon Pavelin wrote: 'I’ve met other Mary Johnstons around the world but never a sideways one. Mary, put the kettle on, i’m on my way round after work the night. Top banana.' But when Ms Johnston, who has two grown-up children, found out she was on the website she was horrified and blamed a glitch in the system for her being signed up.

Re: Glasgow tourism hotspot
I'm surprised Glasgow has 86 more popular "attractions" ahead of her really. Or any at all for that matter. I bet #5 is "Wales".
