  • Govan is a district and former burgh in the southwestern part of the City of Glasgow, Scotland. It is situated 2.5 miles (4.0 km) west of Glasgow City Centre, on the south bank of the River Clyde, opposite the mouth of the River Kelvin and the district of Partick. According to medieval legend, Constantine, a 7th-century King of Strathclyde, founded a monastery under the rule of Columbanus in Govan. During the Middle Ages, Govan was the site of a ferry which linked the area with Partick for seasonal cattle drovers. In the 18th and 19th centuries weaving and coal mining were important and in the early 19th century shipbuilding emerged as Govan's principal industry. In 1864, Govan gained burgh status, and was Scotland's fifth largest burgh. It was incorporated into the city of Glasgow in 1912.

  • Govan er et område og tidligere burgh i den sydvestlige delen av Glasgow i Skottland. Det ligger omtrent fire kilometer vest for sentrum i Glasgow på den sydlige elvebredden av Clyde, på motsatt side av utløpet for elven Kelvin og Partick. Govan ble grunnlagt i det 6. århundre. I middelalderen var stedet brukt som fergested for frakt av tamfe over elven, i løpet av det 18. og 19. århundre ble gruvedrift og veving dominerende næringer. I begynnelsen av det 19. århundre ble også skipsbygging en stor industri, i likhet med flere andre byer langs Clyde. Govan ble burgh i 1867 og var det femte største burgh i Skottland før det ble innlemmet i Glasgow i 1912. Alex Ferguson og Gordon Brown ble begge født i Govan.
