Glasgow is a port city on the River Clyde in Scotland's western Lowlands. It's famed for its Victorian and art nouveau architecture, a rich legacy of the city's 18th–20th-century prosperity due to trade and shipbuilding. Today it's a national cultural hub, home to institutions including the Scottish Opera, Scottish Ballet and National Theatre of Scotland, as well as acclaimed museums and a thriving music scene.
Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland, and third largest in the United Kingdom. Historically part of Lanarkshire, it is now one of the 32 council areas of Scotland. Glasgow is situated on the River Clyde in the country's West Central Lowlands. Inhabitants of the city are referred to as Glaswegians.
Glasgow grew from a small rural settlement on the River Clyde to become the largest seaport in Britain. Expanding from the medieval bishopric and royal burgh, and the later establishment of the University of Glasgow in the 15th century, Glasgow became a major centre of the Scottish Enlightenment in the 18th century. From the 18th century the city also grew as one of Great Britain's main hubs of transatlantic trade with North America and the West Indies.
With the onset of the Industrial Revolution, the population and economy of Glasgow and the surrounding region expanded rapidly to become one of the world's pre-eminent centres of chemicals, textiles and engineering; most notably in the shipbuilding and marine engineering industry, which produced many innovative and famous vessels. Glasgow was the Second City of the British Empire for much of the Victorian era and Edwardian period, although many cities argue the title was theirs.
Glasgow hosted the 2014 Commonwealth Games and is also well known in the sporting world for the football rivalry of the Old Firm between Celtic and Rangers. Glasgow is also known for Glasgow patter, a distinct dialect that is noted for being difficult to understand by those from outside the city.
Glasgow has a large urban transport system, mostly managed by the Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT). The city has many bus services; since bus deregulation almost all are provided by private operators though SPT part-funds some services. The principal bus operators within the city are: First Glasgow, McGill's Buses, Stagecoach West Scotland and Glasgow Citybus. The main bus terminal in the city is Buchanan bus station.
Glasgow has the most extensive urban rail network in the UK outside of London with rail services travelling to a large part of the West of Scotland.

Keane - Interview at Holmwood House - 18th September 2012
Dusk has fallen, the trees are rustling as they settle into the gathering darkness and from a nearby vegetable patch the dull thud of a spade shovelling dirt rings out.
After a few scrapes and morbid scratchings, the wood on wood bang of a mallet can be heard as a wooden cross is thumped determinedly into damp soil.
It's marking a long, tapered mound of earth, raised just alongside a bed of sweet-pea and carrots. For those not in the know, it looks like the final resting place of a tall, oddly shaped human being.
For those with a sense of humour, it looks as though someone just buried a giant parsnip.
Luckily for the people who are gathering to watch the grim spectacle however, this grave is empty, the gravedigger is an actor and the whispering sounds from the gothic looking house behind them are not from the undead but from the very much alive band Keane.
Have you seen the grave out there? laughs Tom Chaplin, their vocalist. One unlucky punter is going to get buried alive tonight. In fact, where's our manager? We haven't seen him in a while...
Beside him, his bandmate Richard Hughes giggles like a naughty school boy: We could just leave him here in Scotland.
The lads are seated in antique chairs on an antique rug in front of an antique fireplace under the watchful, and extremely unnerving gaze of an antique rocking horse.
We're at Holmwood house in Glasgow doing a bit of a haunted house event, explains Richard cheerfully.
It's inspired by the video for our single Disconnected which was basically a six minute horror film set in a creepy house.
Tonight is a childhood nightmare come true - it's pretty creepy. Some friends of ours have put together this pretty intricate story of family and murders and strange goings-on in this building.
Competition winners will show up and get taken round the house. It should creep them out a bit and then we'll 'finish them off' with some of our music.
The two of them break out into unstoppable laughter, both clearly in their element that they get to creep around a National Trust property scaring people.
The band have crossed the national border to launch their brand new single Disconnected from their fourth studio album Strangeland due to be released worldwide on October 8.
Tim wrote it (Disconnected) when he was on holiday after an argument with his wife, explains Tom. So in a way it comes from a dark place.
I didn't know that, chirps in Richard.
Yeah, it's true, Tom laughs. But the video idea for Disconnected was the brainchild of a guy call Juan Bayona. He did a film called The Orphanage which was very creepy that I'm sure people will remember.
We thought it would be nice to do something that would leave you psychologically scarred after you see it.
We shot it in a weird spooky house in Barcelona and it's like nothing else we've ever been involved in.
Yeah, agrees Richard. The cast were absolutely amazing, I mean they're proper actors and it shows. It was really really fun.
I mean at one point we were on this balcony and looked out and there was someone digging a grave, and Tom was like 'That looks like a grave, umm'...
Tom snorts: I really thought it was some guy next door genuinely burying someone - but then they pointed out that it was actually part of the shoot.

Glasgow, Visit Britain - Unravel Travel TV
Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland and is often referred to as Scotland with Style. An elegant place, some of the architecture here is amongst the finest in Britain. Many of these magnificent structures were built during the nineteenth century, when the city was an industrial powerhouse and remain as impressive as when they first appeared. Nowadays less industrial, the city has reinvented itself as a centre for leisure...pleasure...and shopping. It's packed full of trendy bars, chic cafes and restaurants. Getting around the city is easy on foot or by taking the subway. It links major cultural attractions such as the gallery of Modern Art and the hugely popular Kelvingrove art gallery and museum. Work began on the current Glasgow School of Art building in 1896 by famed local architect and designer, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, who was known for his art-nouveau style. The Riverside Museum shows the futuristic style of Pacific Quay, the Clyde Auditorium resembles interlocking ships hulls. At its height, one in five of the world's ships was built here in Glasgow...including the Royal Yacht Britannia. Glasgow's architects created the tenement block, a uniquely Scottish form of housing. The home of Scottish football is Hampden Park, venue for the London 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games, in the stylish city in the beautiful Clyde Valley.
