Greater Glasgow and Clyde ValleyVibrant and energetic, Glasgow has become one of the most cosmopolitan cities in Europe. It has lost its rough image and has been reborn as a centre of style and vitality set against a backdrop of very impressive Victorian buildings. Glasgow was also the UK's City of Architecture and Design in 1999 and its architecture is certainly an attraction in itself. The city also has some world famous art collections and the best shopping and nightlife in Scotland. Over 200 arts organisations, including the Scottish Ballet and Scottish Opera, are based there, creating cutting-edge productions and attracting high-profile exhibitions.
Surrounding the city is some of the best of Scotland's scenery, from the rolling hills of the Clyde Valley to the stunning walking country of East Dunbartonshire that borders the south-west Highlands. Go further and you'll find many small picturesque villages and towns in the areas of Paisley, Hamilton, Biggar, Greenock, Gourock and the New Lanark World Heritage Site. All within relatively short distances from the city these places are perfect for day trips and all well worth a visit.
The region today is broken down in seven council areas, Glasgow City, Inverclyde, East Dunbartonshire, North Lanarkshire, South Lanarkshire, East Renfrew and Renfrewshire respectively.
This combination is the industrial heartland of Scotland where the population is at its most dense. This is where the world famous shipyards, steel works, coal mining, engineering, steam locomotives and tobacco brought fame to the nation. Workers from the North and Ireland flocked to the area for the jobs, which, in the early days were in abundance, thus making the region a hive of industry. Of course not all the region was or is industrial, for much agriculture and tourism played and still plays a great part with the River Clyde at its centre. Just think of the Clyde Valley fruit farms and orchards with their wonderful produce and the hardworking farming communities supplying the daily needs of the country.
