SCOTS IN GLASGOW - Why Glasgow?

Glasgow is one of Europe’s most vibrant and cosmopolitan cities, home architectural treasures, and on the doorstep of Scotland’s glorious countryside.

 

Glasgow is one of Europe’s most vibrant and cosmopolitan cities, home to the art nouveau architectural treasures of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, and on the doorstep of Scotland’s glorious countryside.
 
The former ship-building powerhouse has undergone an economic and cultural renaissance and in 2004 it was re-branded as Glasgow: Scotland with style.  The editor of US travel magazine Frommer’s voted Glasgow one of the top ten, ‘must-see’ up and coming destinations for 2006.
 
More than £1 billion is being invested to transform the riverfront into a stylish business, residential and leisure area, and this summer the world-famous Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum re-opened after a £27.9 million renovation.
 
Glasgow is a shopper’s paradise and was voted Britain’s top retail destination after London’s West End in the Experian 2004 Retail Ranking. The main shopping thoroughfare, Buchanan Street, has been voted one of the world’s top retail destinations.
 
The pristine splendor of the Ayrshire coast and Robert Burns country, and Loch Lomond and the Trossachs - the gateway to Scotland’s world-famous Highlands – are less than an hour’s drive from Glasgow.
 
Scotland is the home of golf, and some of the world’s finest Open championship courses such as Royal Troon and Turnberry are just an hour away from the city. Sample a dram in some of Scotland’s celebrated whisky distilleries, or visit some of our hauntingly beautiful castles – all within easy access of Glasgow.
 
Glasgow International Airport, serving more than 100 destinations, is 8 miles from the city centre. There are 17,000 rooms to suit all budgets and the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre is the UK’s largest integrated meeting venue and is located near the city centre.
 
Glasgow is brimming with confidence and style and is in the running to host the 2014 Commonwealth Games.
