Glasgow
Glasgow sits on the Clyde in west central Scotland and holds around 632,350 people, with more than a million in the Greater Glasgow urban area and a density of 3,562 people per square kilometre against a Scottish average of 70. It is smaller now than it once was: the peak was 1,127,825 in 1938, and the urban renewal of the 1960s moved much of that population out to new towns. What is left is a Victorian merchant city built on shipping and Clyde money, and the collections that money paid for — Kelvingrove, the Burrell, the Hunterian — are what a first visit is usually built around.
