Glasgow is one of Europe's most exciting and beautiful destinations, which combines the energy and sophistication of a great international city with some of Scotland's most spectacular scenery.

The city's Victorian skyline - with its neo-classical spires and glowing sandstone - blends seamlessly with the 18th century Merchant City, sensuous art nouveau and the minimalist glass and titanium of contemporary Glasgow.

Glasgow built its wealth in the eighteenth century through the tobacco, sugar and cotton trade. Then in the nineteenth century and early part of the twentieth, Clydeside was the world's leading manufacturer of ships and locomotives and Glasgow became known as the 'Second City of the Empire'.
