Hi everybody,
Could you please help me with articles? I´m not sure about it in following sentences:


- The city of Glasgow is attractive particularly for admirers of
(no article) architecture.

- I recommend you going for a walk from the Cathedral to George Square to see the City Chambers – the impressive town hall built in classic italian style.

- The castle and the surrounding area offer an excellent panorama of the Trossachs National Park.

- The picturesque village of Elie became a favourite place of Edinburghers.

- It is a typical village of the East Neuk with its whitewashed houses and colourful flowers by the windows.

- Visit the British Golf Museum to explore the history of this sport and famous players.

- The palace is built in a Renaissance style.

- You will be impressed by the life-size figures of all the employees of a medieval kitchen.

- The church is dominated by a magnificent 15th-century tower.

- Its peak offers a unique panorama of the Firth of Forth.

- To make the itinerary unique, I added the possibility of playing golf, dancing traditional Scottish dances and participating in the Highland Games in North Berwick.

- I succeeded in presenting the Scottish Lowlands as a great destination for the (or: your) holiday.

Thank you for your help.

Thank you for your help.

I wonder what is the difference between The impressive town hall is built in (no article) classic Italian style and The palace is built in a Renaissance style.

Thank you again:-)

No real difference, I think (although I am not familiar with the whole range of styles to choose from).  The intent of all of these is the same:


The impressive town hall is built in classic Italian style, The palace is built in a Renaissance style.
The impressive town hall is built in a classic Italian style, The palace is built in Renaissance style.
