Glasgow Facts
Scotland is one of the most beautiful and diverse countries in the world, so it is reputed.
The City of Glasgow is one of the primary cities in Scotland and the largest. It is located in the County of Lancashire.
Glasgow is very rich in culture and heritage.
Glasgow was famous for shipbuilding and known as the shipbuilder to the world. The South Bank of the River Clyde, in the Glasgow district of Govan, has been at the heart of the Scottish shipbuilding industry, in the past.
The famous Fairfield Ship Yard was founded by William Elder, in 1864. Elder was a talented marine engineer who helped to ensure vessels used fuel more efficiently, which facilitated longer voyages at sea.

The architecture of Glasgow City is unique and highly noted for its 19th Century Victorian architecture.
In the early 20th Century Charles Rennie Mackintosh developed the ‘Glasgow Style’, which permeates throughout Glasgow’s City Centre.
Two notable architectural landmarks are the Provand's Lordship (15th Century) and the 13th-century St. Mungo's Cathedral.
Glasgow is located in the South and Central Region of Scotland and near to the beautiful and large Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park.
Transportation is available to suit all travel plans by air, rail, ferry and coach and are easy to book direct online.
The International Airport is located 6 miles west of Glasgow City near to the town of Paisley, in the heart of the Glasgow Region.
Scotland hosts a variety of international events from sporting, musical and natural heritage, with a comprehensively planned programme annually, so there is always something of specific interest going on which attracts many to visit Glasgow.
Much life revolves around the River Clyde, which has been modernised with notable buildings of beauty being built along its banks. The old complements the new well through the many bridges, which traverses the River Clyde.

Glasgow is also famed for Glasgow University, with a history of many famous alumni, people and inventors, not least James Watt who the SI unit of power, the Watt, was named after him.
The City of Glasgow is well endowed with statues of famous Glaswegians throughout, with the very tall column in George’s Square being the renowned Sir Walter Scott Monument.
Glasgow University’s numerous architecturally beautiful buildings sprawl out into the many suburbs of Glasgow. Many come to the City purely to visit the University of Glasgow, such is its reputation.
Sir Walter Scott’s statue towers above
George Square and is surrounded by ground level statues of people who
have influenced the lives of others globally, on a sunny day in Glasgow.
Perhaps a place to sit and ponder adventures and innovations of your
own.

Around Glasgow
Scenery and wildlife is always nearby, with its ever-changing picturesque highlands and lowlands landscapes during the weather-rich seasons. Make certain you check-out the ‘Scottish Outdoor Access Code’ before you go, in order to help keep Scotland special.
Renowned for its Whisky, Scotland ‘Spirit’ may be discovered through its many distilleries.
Loch Lomond is a short drive from Glasgow, with its breath-taking views and is very photogenic.
Between Glasgow and Edinburgh there is a popular train route and many wonderful scenic views to enjoy along the way. Because of Edinburgh’s relative close proximity and frequent transport links, it is easy to get to, and ideal as a day-trip out from Glasgow.
I produced the book “Glasgow Landscapes, A Photographic Glimpse” with ‘where to go in Glasgow’ in mind. I very much enjoyed walking the streets of Glasgow town centre and along the banks of the River Clyde. There was much to photograph and to see and do. The book forms part of my series ‘Places to Visit’ and if you are planning to visit the City of Glasgow it gives a lot of ideas for what is worth going off the beaten track to discover about its hidden secrets.
The Glaswegian weather whilst dry, during my visit, was mostly overcast with grey skies. However, this didn’t stop my pleasure and enjoyment of spotting its photogenic beauty, which I have shared with you in this photographic record of what I discovered. I found Glasgow’s architecture of particular note. Glasgow is a place of much interest and delight. The City of Glasgow is also a centre of learning giving a wide breadth of opportunities.
The book is available in several formats from Amazon and other book retailers.
