About Glasgow
Glasgow is Scotland's largest city, built on the River Clyde, which made it a major centre for shipbuilding and trade. Today it is known for its Victorian and art nouveau architecture, including the work of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, its live music scene, museums such as Kelvingrove, and two of Scotland's best-known football clubs. It is also a base for trips to Loch Lomond and the Highlands.
Glasgow follows Greenwich Mean Time, UTC+0, in winter and British Summer Time, UTC+1, in summer, so it always matches Edinburgh and London. Being far north, it has short winter days, with sunset before 4pm in December, and long light evenings in June. It is one hour behind most of continental Europe.
