Glasgow, United Kingdom

Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland and third most populous in the United Kingdom. The city is situated on the River Clyde in the country's west central lowlands.  Glasgow grew from the medieval Bishopric of Glasgow and the later establishment of the University of Glasgow, which contributed to the Scottish Enlightenment.  With the Industrial Revolution, the city and surrounding region has become one of the world's pre-eminent centers of engineering and shipbuilding.
