Glasgow is the largest city in Glasgow City council area and sits on the banks of the River Clyde in west Scotland. It grew from a medieval market town into a powerhouse of 19th‑century shipbuilding and trade, leaving a rich legacy of Victorian and art nouveau architecture; landmarks range from the ornate Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum to the green spaces and concentrations of cultural life in the West End.

It’s socially and culturally vibrant, known for music, festivals and intense sporting loyalties, and combines a proud industrial past with a modern reputation for design, arts and a warm, distinctive local character.
