Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland and the fourth-largest city in the United Kingdom. It is
situated on the River Clyde in the country's West Central Lowlands. Inhabitants of the city
are referred to as Glaswegians
Glasgow grew from a small rural settlement on the River Clyde to become one of the largest
seaports in the world. Expanding from the medieval bishopric and royal burgh, and the laterestablishment 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 Great Britain's main hubs of transatlantic trade with North America and the West
Indies.
With the onset of the Industrial Revolution, the population and economy of Glasgow and the
surrounding region expanded rapidly to become one of the world's pre-eminent centres of
chemicals, textiles and engineering; most notably in the shipbuilding and marine engineering
industry, which produced many innovative and famous vessels. Glasgow is known as the"Second City of the British Empire" for much of the Victorian era and Edwardian period.
