About Glasgow
Sometimes described as Britain's finest Victorian city, today's
Glasgow is the result of determination by the citizens themselves to
make the most of its architecture, heritage and culture. Excitement
and awareness steadily grew over the last decade. Glasgow became a
venue for stimulating new developments such as the Burrell Collection,
then host for a major Garden Festival followed by the accolade of
Cultural Capital of Europe in 1990. In 1999 it was the European City
of Architecture & Design, and this has led to the current Lighthouse
project.
Glasgow is a popular place for tourists and other visitors. The See
Glasgow web site is a useful
tourist guide.
If you plan to dine out, take in a show or just look around, the Glasgow Guide will provide you with up-to-date information.
