Glasgow’s history dates back almost 1,500 years, to the time it was founded by St. Mungo. Much of the city that remains today hails from the time when it was one of the world’s greatest industrial centres. Though it is only relatively recently that it has shaken off the post-industrial slump that ravaged so many great cities. In 1990 it became Britain’s first ever European Capital of Culture, and with that, its reputation as an arts & cultural centre was proclaimed to the world. The city has much to offer: its museums, architecture and shops being among the highlights.
