When my son lived in Glasgow, he used to head north up to the Campsie Fells whenever he felt like getting out of the city - probably the nearest easily accessible bit of upland habitat (by car), and I see that they have some red grouse records on eBird.
Alternatively, there's plenty of upland habitat by the M74 on your journey back - Lowther Hills would be worth a look, in fact based on number of eBird records this may be a better bet.
