| Glasgow ...Scotland with style | |||
| |||
| |||
 lasgow, one of Scotland's most important cities and Europe's most exciting and beautiful destinations, combines the energy and sophistication of a great international city with some of Scotland's most spectacular scenery.
The local area is rich in history and heritage and each of its delightful country towns and villages has its own fascinating tale to tell. A short drive south of the city is the Clyde Valley Tourist Route, which makes its picturesque way to the upper reaches of the River Clyde and the World Heritage Site of New Lanark. 
To the west are Renfrewshire and the town of Paisley with its medieval Abbey, Museum and Art Galleries, which features the world's largest collection of the famous 'Paisley Pattern' shawls. Inverclyde's coastal towns enjoy spectacular panoramas across the Clyde Estuary to the Argyll Hills while Milngavie's Mugdock Country Park to the north of Glasgow includes a stretch of the long distance footpath, the West Highland Way.
Glasgow is an architectural dream: Victorian red & honey sandstone, Italianate steeples and medieval spires sit harmoniously with neo-gothic towers, the sensuous Art Nouveau of Charles Rennie Mackintosh and the titanium, glass and steel of the contemporary city. Glasgow has an amazing portfolio of more than twenty museums and galleries - many of them free - including the unique Burrell Collection, stunning Mackintosh House and cool and contemporary Gallery of Modern Art. 
Glasgow is a large, lively and vibrant city, remaining busy throughout the year.Visiting Greater Glasgow is always an eventful experience. No matter when you arrive you'll find live performances, festivals and entertainment fifty-two weeks of the year. Productions by Scottish Opera, the RSNO Summer Proms and the West End Festival as well as the smooth sounds of Glasgow International Jazz Festival, the rousing Hogmanay Celebrations and Celtic Connections are just some of the vibrant annual events, which reinforce its reputation as one of Europe's leading cultural capitals.
