Glasgow City, Council area in Glasgow, Scotland

Glasgow City stretches along both banks of the River Clyde, extending 20 miles from the river mouth on Scotland's western coast.

The settlement evolved from a religious community established by Saint Kentigern in 550 CE into Scotland's primary maritime trade center by the 18th century.

The Kelvingrove Art Gallery, Glasgow Cathedral, and multiple theaters across the city present Scottish heritage through exhibitions, performances, and architectural elements.

The Glasgow City Council provides digital services for residents to manage tax payments, report municipal issues, and request local government assistance.

The name Glasgow originates from Brittonic words meaning green hollow, which influenced the city's traditional nickname as The Dear Green Place.

Location: Scotland

Part of: Glasgow and Clyde Valley City Region, Greater Glasgow and Clyde

GPS coordinates: 55.85000,-4.25000
