Art and culture are important in Glasgow life
where galleries and museums are in abundance - most with free admission.
A choice of over 20 includes the world's first Museum of Religion and
the renowned Burrell Collection in Pollok Park. No visit would be complete
without experiencing the city's shopping with high street stores, designer
labels, and speciality outlets to explore, with welcome pit-stops in the
first class cafe culture around the Italian Centre, Merchant Square, Gallery
of Modern Art or the Buchanan Galleries.
Glasgow grew from the medieval Bishopric of Glasgow and the later establishment
of the University of Glasgow in the 15th century, which subsequently became
a major centre of the Scottish Enlightenment in the 18th century. From
the 18th century the city also grew as one of Britain's main hubs of transatlantic
trade with British North America and the British West Indies. With the
Industrial Revolution, the city and surrounding region shifted to become
one of the world's pre-eminent centres of Heavy Engineering, most notably
in the Shipbuilding and Marine engineering industry, which produced many
innovative and famous vessels. Glasgow was known as the "Second City
of the British Empire" for much of the Victorian era and Edwardian
period. Today it is one of Europe's top twenty financial centres and is
home to many of Scotland's leading businesses. Glasgow is also ranked
as the 57th most liveable city in the world.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries Glasgow grew to a population
of over one million, and was the fourth-largest city in Europe, after
London, Paris and Berlin. In the 1960s, comprehensive urban renewal projects
resulting in large-scale relocation of people to new towns and peripheral
suburbs, followed by successive boundary changes, have reduced the current
population of the City of Glasgow unitary authority area to 580,690, with
1,199,629 people living in the Greater Glasgow urban area. The entire
region surrounding the conurbation covers approximately 2.3 million people,
41% of Scotland's population.
