Peter,
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:

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.
