Tink, Peter, I'd say great, or fantastic rather than many. The word does have many as a literal meaning, but I think the intension behind it here is great as it can also mean "Big". Cheers now.

As nearly as I can determine, the phrase means, "The many sights of Gleska".
The word muckle is the sticking point, but the folowing web page sheds some light: http://www.thefreedictionary.com/muckle

"the muckle sichts o' Glesca"
As heard on Ma Big Kilmarnock Bunnet. See below for listen link and lyrics. http://www.sightconnections.com/MyBigKilmarnockBunnet.m3u
Ma Big Kilmarnock Bunnet
Fin I was aff to leave the ploo I said to Fairmer Broon, The money that I hae workit for Will you kindly lay it doon, This very day I mean to be In Glesca toon by half past three, I've been a o'er lang a gackie in the country.
Chorus: Wae ma big Kilmarnock Bunnet As I ran to catch the train, I'll never forget the trick that was played on me by Sandy Laing, He said "mind Jock when ye get tae the toon speir ye for Katie Bain, ma Loon, she bides at number eighty street in Glesca." Chorus:
Now, when I stepped down off the train the first young man I met, I speired at him quite cheerily, "can ye show me eighty street," He says, "Dae ye tak me fur a mug" wae that he got me on the lug, And said, "Young man, ye'll meet yer match in Glesca." Chorus:
I met up wae a bonny lass dressed in a strippet frock, She said tae me right cheekily, "Hello is that you, Jock? Yer big Kilmarnock's awfy plum come oan and staun us a doddle o' rum, And I'll show tae you the muckle sichts o' Glesca." Chorus:
Now the lassie in the strippet frock and her neebur Katie Bain, As long as I live I hope that I will never see them again, They left me wae ma breeks and shirt and big Kilmarnock covert wae dirt, Wae rowin in the muckle streets o' Glesca. Chorus:
