- Glasgow je největší skotské město a po Londýnu a Birminghamu třetí největší ve Velké Británii. Leží v nejprůmyslovějším pásu země, mezi zálivy (ang. firths) Firth of Clyde a Firth of Forth. Žije v něm podle posledních údajů 620 000 obyvatel. Městem protéká řeka Clyde a menší řeka Kelvin. Leží přibližně 60 km západně od hlavního města Skotska Edinburghu. Městem se stalo v roce 1175, jako součást království Strathclyde. Od roku 1929 fungovalo jako samostatný správní celek a to až do roku 1975, kdy se stalo součástí kraje Strathclyde. Od roku 1996 získává opět podle nového členění status městské správní jednotky. V dnešní době je Glasgow velice turisticky populární. Po Londýnu a Edinburghu je to třetí nejnavštěvovanější město Velké Británie. Často je to také výchozí město pro turisty, kteří směřují za cíli do celého Skotska. Tomu napomáhá vyspělá infrastruktura.
- Glasgow eng. [ˈglæzgəʊ] ist mit etwa 593.000 Einwohnern die größte Stadt Schottlands und nach London und Birmingham die drittgrößte Stadt des Vereinigten Königreichs. Die Stadt bildet eine der 32 Unitary Authoritys in Schottland und liegt im Südwesten des Landes am Fluss Clyde. Im späten 19. und frühen 20. Jahrhundert hatte Glasgow mehr als eine Million Einwohner. In der Greater Glasgow Urban Area leben 1.750.500 Einwohner. Glasgow gilt im Gegensatz zur schottischen Hauptstadt Edinburgh als „Arbeiterstadt“. In Glasgow gibt es eine Kathedrale aus dem 12. Jahrhundert sowie vier Universitäten sowie die Glasgow School of Art und das Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (ehemals Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama).
- Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland and third most populous in the United Kingdom. The city is situated on the River Clyde in the country's West Central Lowlands. Glasgow grew from a small rural settlement on the River Clyde to become one of the largest seaports in Britain. Expanding from the medieval bishopric of Glasgow and the later establishment of the University of Glasgow in the 15th century, it became a major centre of the Scottish Enlightenment in the 18th century. From the 18th century the city also grew as one of Britain's main hubs of transatlantic trade with British North America and the British West Indies. With the Industrial Revolution, the city and surrounding region shifted to become one of the world's pre-eminent centres of heavy engineering, most notably in shipbuilding and marine engineering industry, which produced many innovative and famous vessels. Glasgow was known as the "Second City of the British Empire" for much of the Victorian era and Edwardian period. Today it is one of Europe's top ten financial centres and is home to many of Scotland's leading businesses. Glasgow is also ranked as the 57th most liveable city in the world. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries Glasgow grew in population, eventually reaching a peak of 1,128,473 in 1939, and was the fourth-largest city in Europe, after London, Paris and Berlin. In the 1960s, comprehensive urban renewal projects resulting in large-scale relocation of people to new towns and peripheral suburbs, followed by successive boundary changes, have reduced the current population of the City of Glasgow council area to 592,000, with 1,199,629 people living in the Greater Glasgow urban area. The entire region surrounding the conurbation covers approximately 2.3 million people, 41% of Scotland's population. Glasgow will host the 2014 Commonwealth Games and is currently bidding to host the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics.
- Glasgow es la mayor ciudad de Escocia y la tercera del Reino Unido después de Londres y Birmingham; además, es el área de autoridad unitaria más poblada y la segunda área metropolitana más poblada del Reino Unido en su conurbación Gran Glasgow tras el Gran Londres. Está situada a las orillas del río Clyde en las tierras bajas del centro-oeste de Escocia. La gente de Glasgow es conocida como Glaswegians. Asimismo, Glaswegian es el nombre con que se conoce al dialecto local de escocés. Es además uno de los 32 Consejos unitarios en que está dividida administrativamente Escocia, oficialmente denominado como City of Glasgow y, como muchos de los municipios del oeste de Escocia, es de mayoría laborista. Antiguamente, fue una “royal burgh” (ciudad real), y era conocida como la “segunda ciudad del Imperio Británico” en la época victoriana. Se erigió como un gran puerto de comercio de trasatlánticos durante la Revolución industrial. El Clyde fue uno de los más preeminentes centro mundiales de astilleros, construyéndose en él muchos de los revolucionarios y famosos buques de la línea Cunard como RMS Lusitania, RMS Aquitania, RMS Queen Mary, RMS Queen Elizabeth y el RMS Queen Elizabeth 2, y el velero real Britannia. La ciudad creció a finales del siglo XIX y principios del siglo XX hasta alcanzar una población de más de un millón de habitantes, llegando a 2.088.000 habitantes en 1931. No obstante, con el descenso de población, debido básicamente a la recolocación de gente a nuevas poblaciones como East Kilbride y Cumbernauld a las afueras de la ciudad, y los sucesivos cambios de su término municipal de los gobiernos nacionales en un intento de reducir el poder relativo de la ciudad en Escocia, la población actual de la City of Glasgow es de 592.000 según el censo de 2007. La conurbación que forman Glasgow y su área metropolitana cuenta, aproximadamente, con 2.300.000 habitantes, lo que constituye el 41% de la población de toda Escocia. Al ser un punto neurálgico de comercio, negocios, industria, medios de comunicación y transporte de Escocia, Glasgow es una gran ciudad cosmopolita y bulliciosa. Es el tercer destino turístico más visitado del Reino Unido después de Londres y Edimburgo. Asimismo, es el centro económico más importante de comercio y de venta al por menor de Escocia. Glasgow es uno de los veinte centros financieros más importantes de Europa y es la sede de muchos de los negocios a la cabeza en Escocia, lo que la hace parte esencial de la economía británica.

- Glasgow est la ville la plus grande et la plus peuplée d’Écosse et la troisième agglomération du Royaume-Uni. Elle est située dans l'ouest de la partie centrale des lowlands écossaises. La ville se trouve au bord de la Clyde, fleuve qui se jette dans le Firth of Clyde à l'ouest. Le gentilé Glaswegian désigne aussi au singulier le dialecte local. Les coordonnées approximatives du centre de la ville sont 55°52' nord, 4°15' ouest. La naissance de la ville est basée sur deux fondations médiévales, l'ancien archidiocèse de Glasgow et l’université de Glasgow en 1451. L'essor décisif surgit toutefois après les Lumières écossaises, imposant un précoce taux d'alphabétisation et une rapide transition de la maîtrise de l'outil au machinisme. À partir du XVIII siècle, Glasgow est un centre considérable du commerce transatlantique et pendant la Révolution industrielle qui est lancé au XIX siècle, l’ingénierie et la construction navale prennent le relais moteur. Appelée, après Londres, « la deuxième ville de l’Empire britannique » pendant les époques victoriennes et édouardiennes malgré sa triste réputation de ville de taudis, Glasgow reste aujourd'hui encore l’un des centres financiers les plus importants d’Europe et accueille les quartiers généraux de grandes entreprises écossaises. En 2011, Glasgow est classée 56 ville mondiale pour la qualité de vie et 44 pour la sécurité. À la fin du XIX siècle, Glasgow est la quatrième ville européennes après Londres, Paris et Berlin. En 1900, la ville compte 1 000 000 habitants. À partir des années soixante, de grands projets de rénovation poussant les Glaswegiens vers les banlieues et les « New Towns » ainsi que les changements successifs des limites administrative de la ville entraînent la diminution de la population jusqu'à 592 000 habitants alors que la population de l'agglomération atteint 1 200 000 habitants. Aujourd'hui, la population de la conurbation s'élève à environ 2,3 millions d'habitants, soit 41 % de la population de l’Écosse. Glasgow organisera les Jeux du Commonwealth de 2014.

Glasgow is als zodanig één van de lieutenancy areas en een raadsgebied (council area). De stad is een van de belangrijkste industrie- en handelssteden met onder andere grote scheepswerven. Glasgow International Airport is de luchthaven in de stad. Bovendien is het een goed uitgangspunt als men het westen van Schotland wil leren kennen. Het zeer snel toegenomen aantal inwoners bewijst wel de aantrekkingskracht van Glasgow. De hele stad is, afgezien van een klein aantal bouwwerken (in de eerste plaats Glasgow Cathedral) een product van de laatste tweehonderd jaar. Van beslissende betekenis voor de groei van de stad was het uitbaggeren van de Clyde tot een haven waar ook de grootste schepen binnen kunnen lopen. Tweehonderd jaar geleden kon men de rivier bij eb nog te voet oversteken. Het in de omgeving aanwezige kolen en ijzererts dragen aan de economische bloei bij. Na de grote bloeiperioden (Glasgow wordt begin 20e eeuw de Second city of the Empire genoemd) treed na de Tweede Wereldoorlog het verval in. Door veel investering in cultuur en architectuur komt Glasgow er weer deels bovenop en de stad wordt in 1990 als eerste niet-hoofdstad uitgeroepen tot Culturele Hoofdstad van Europa. Later in 1999 wordt de stad uitgeroepen tot Britse Stad van Architectuur en Design. Bovendien wordt Glasgow beschouwd als de op een na beste winkelbestemming in het Verenigd Koninkrijk, na Londen. De belangrijkste winkelstraat van de stad is Buchanan Street. Het gebied rond Buchanan Street, Argyle Street, en Sauchiehall Street, de zogenaamde Golden Z is vrijwel volledig autovrij. Aan deze straten bevindt zich een groot aanbod van diverse winkels en enkele enorme winkelcentra. Celtic FC en de Glasgow Rangers zijn bekende voetbalclubs uit de stad en grote rivalen van elkaar. De stad beschikt over een botanische tuin, de Glasgow Botanic Gardens.
- Glasgow er den største byen i Skottland og den tredje største i Storbritannia. Den ligger ved elven Clyde i den vestlige delen av det sentrale Skottland og utgjør sammen med flere mindre landsbyer regionen City of Glasgow. Glasgow vokste fra å være et bispesete i middelalderen, og med den senere etableringen av University of Glasgow, til å bli et sentrum for transatlantisk handel i løpet av 1800-tallet. Med den industrielle revolusjon ble byen et senter for ingeniørvitenskap og skipsbygging. I 1960-årene hadde den et befolkningstall på hele 1,1 million, og var da den fjerde største byen i Europa, etter London, Paris og Berlin. De senere år har innbyggertallet blitt nesten halvert, på grunn av blant annet endringer av bygrensene og generell nedgang i folketallet. Stor-Glasgow hadde ca. 1,1 million innbyggere i 2004. I dag er byen er kjent som Skottlands kommersielle hovedstad og er det tredje største turistmålet i Storbritannia etter London og Edinburgh. Byen er har også en rekke utdanningsinstitusjoner blant annet fire universitet som alle ligger innen 16 kilometer fra bysentrum: University of Glasgow University of Strathclyde Glasgow Caledonian University University of Paisley

O nativo da cidade é chamado, em inglês, de Glaswegian, nome que também designa o dialeto peculiar local. Povoado formado originalmente no século VI, Glasgow evoluiu a partir do bispado de Glasgow, na Idade Média, e do estabelecimento posterior da Universidade de Glasgow, que contribuiu para o Iluminismo Escocês. Desde o século XVIII a cidade tornou-se um dos principais centros do comércio transatlântico com as Américas. Com a Revolução Industrial, a cidade e a região que a cerca cresceram e acabando por torna-la um dos principais centros de engenharia e construção naval, onde foram construídas diversas embarcações famosas e revolucionárias.

A região imediatamente em torno da conurbação engloba aproximadamente 2,3 milhões de habitantes, 41% da população do país.
- Гла́зго — крупнейший город Шотландии и третий по численности населения в Великобритании. Является административным центром области Глазго. Расположен на западе центральной части Шотландии, на реке Клайд в 32 км от её устья. Основанный в середине VI века, в Средние века Глазго считался одним из важных религиозных и образовательных центров Шотландии. Промышленная революция XVIII века превратила его в один из крупных промышленных центров Великобритании (особенно в области судостроения), а в последующее столетие расцвет экономики города принял такие масштабы, что Глазго в те времена считался вторым городом Империи (после Лондона). В конце XX века, после пережитого в 1920-х — 1970-х годах кризиса, следствием которого стало резкое сокращение населения и снижение уровня жизни, властями Глазго с успехом был осуществлён ряд программ, направленных на культурное и экономическое возрождение города.
