The Greater Glasgow area is the largest urban area in Scotland,
comprising the biggest chunk of the country's population. Set on the banks of
the River
Clyde, Glasgow is the industrial
and financial heart of this lively domain, historically renowned for its shipbuilding
prowess. The architecturally impressive city showcases modern designs side-by-side with Victorian masterpieces and bustles day and night with eclectic restaurants,
traditional pubs and world-class shops. Its enviable collection of museums and
galleries includes the famous Burrell
Collection and Kelvingrove
Museum, and the city is also home to the University
of Glasgow, one of the largest tertiary institutes in the United
Kingdom.
Reaching into the surrounding hills of the Clyde Valley, the suburbs and towns
of Greater Glasgow enable the best of both worlds with rolling countryside and
energetic urban hubs just a stone's throw away. The area is renowned for rural
and riverside walks and numerous picturesque golf courses. Less than an hour
from the city of Glasgow near Lanark, travellers will find the New
Lanark Mill Heritage Site—a restored 18th-century cotton mill village,
while one of the U.K.'s most celebrated walks—West
Highland Way—starts from Milngavie just east of Glasgow. Tourists can
visit Robert Burns' birthplace near Abington, or trace the remains of the Roman
Antonine Wall in Bearsden.
