guide to glasgow

location
Glasgow Prestwick International Airport is conveniently situated for side trips. Take your car hire to neighboring areas such as the burgh of Ayr. This area is home to Alloway, the birthplace of poet Robert Burns. The famous golf resort of Turnberry is also nearby. Travellers looking to hit the links will delight in playing any of the three excellent courses here.

history
Glasgow’s early history was centered around the University of Glasgow, which was founded in 1451 as the second university in all of Scotland. During the 18th century, Glasgow played an important role as the main thoroughfare for tobacco trade between Europe and the United States. When the tobacco trade waned, Glasgow filled its economic void with textile manufacturing, shipbuilding, and involvement in the steel and coal industries. This industrial development brought many labourers to the area, and the population swelled, only to be ravaged by four different cholera outbreaks in the second half of the 19th century. The ensuing decades saw Glasgow steady itself by providing Britain with much of its munitions for the two world wars. The city was named the United Kingdom’s City of Architecture & Design in 1999, and later became the European Capital of Sport for 2003.

things to see
Glasgow is home to several outstanding museums, the most unique of which may be the Burrell Collection, originally put together by successful industrialist Sir William Burrell. Relentlessly eclectic, this gallery features everything from works by Cezanne and Renoir to medieval furniture and Chinese porcelain pieces. Of particular note are the breathtaking tapestries, some of which date back to the 13th century and cover an entire wall. Glasgow’s Gallery of Modern Art is the most popular contemporary art museum in Scotland, and specializes in pieces that focus on social issues.

nightlife
Glasgow’s nightlife offers an alluring mix of old-school taverns and modern lounges and clubs. If history is what you’re looking for, The Horse Shoe pub hasn’t changed much at all since the late 1800s. It also boasts the longest bar in the United Kingdom. Head for The Tunnel if you’re in search of a more festive night. This club hosts the city’s biggest gay night, and draws many famous DJs.
