Glasgow

A more modern part of Scotland with fewer historical sites.

Glasgow is the largest city with an industrialized port. The city is known for its famous architecture by Charles Rennie Macintosh, who designed many of its buildings. The Merchant City (older part of town) was once a pivotal part of Scotland’s iron production following the American Industrial Revolution and the innovation of James Watt. Glasgow has changed into a shipbuilding culture encompassing a more modernized city. Glasgow with its local universities is also exciting with its excellent nightlife provided by a college town environment.
