Scotland is blessed with some of the most breathtaking scenery in the world and it is well worth taking some time to explore its treasures. Glasgow, home city of
Glasgow Caledonian University is loaded with things to do: clubs, pubs, restaurants, cinemas, shopping, parks, museums and many places close to explore.
Glasgow is the largest and wealthiest city in Scotland. It contains almost 20% of the Scottish population — yet still enjoys the UK’s richest concentration of parkland. The name “Glasgow” is taken from Scotland’s traditional language, Gaelic, meaning “dear green place”. The River Clyde, which runs right through the city, has been
central to some of the city’s history down the decades; particularly the period when Glasgow was considered to be the second city of the British Empire and ships were built to bring popular products and prosperity here. Today, there are people of many nationalities who enrich the experience of life in Glasgow, resulting in a tolerant, cosmopolitan city attuned to the needs of its communities.
