Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland and third most populous in the United Kingdom. It is situated on the River Clyde in the country's west central lowlands. Owing to its location, Glasgow is one of Scotland's areas with the mildest climate.

Glasgow has seen more changes in the past years than most other cities in the UK. From a declining industrial centre with a pessimistic attitude about its future, Glasgow has turned into a prosperous European city and a popular tourist destination.
