Glasgow is one of the liveliest and most cosmopolitan destinations in Europe. The city has been reborn as a centre of style and vitality set against a backdrop of outstanding Victorian architecture. Glasgow boasts world famous art collections, the best shopping in the United Kingdom outside London, and the most vibrant nightlife in Scotland.

Scotland’s largest city, and the third most populous city in Britain, Glasgow owes its rapid development during the Industrial Revolution to its situation on the Clyde, only 20 miles from the sea, and surrounded by coalfields. Its prosperity had begun earlier, in the 17th century, when Port Glasgow, on the Clyde estuary, began to handle a flood of goods from the new world. Heavy industry shipbuilding developed in the 19th century. The city’s underground, reopened by the queen 1979, is now one of the most modern in the world, and its airport lies seven miles to the west. In Pollok Park, three miles outside the centre, the fabulous Burrell collection of paintings, sculpture and other works of art is housed in an award-winning building.

Glasgow Cathedral, begun in the 12th century and completed at the end of the 15th, is considered the finest example of pre-reformation Gothic in Europe. The city’s university was established as early as 1451 and treasures in its Hunterian Art Gallery include paintings by Rembrandt, Rubens and Whistler. The Hunterian museum is based on the wide-ranging collections of an 18th century surgeon. Glasgow has several outstanding art galleries and museums, including: the Glasgow Art Gallery and Museum; Haggs Castle, a museum for children; Peoples Palace, containing a visual record of the history and life of the city. The area's rural pursuits are every bit as magical. From the spectacular coastal hills around Inverclyde and the country parks, historic towns and heritage sites of Renfrewshire and Lanarkshire, to the sheltered woodlands of the Clyde Valley, Greater Glasgow and Clyde Valley is Scotland in miniature.
