Currently Scotland’s most populous city, Glasgow is a city located on the river Clyde in the West Central Lowlands of Scotland. Its situation on the Clyde allowed it to become a major center of shipbuilding in the Industrial Revolution. It is home to the University of Glasgow, one of Scotland’s four ancient universities, founded in 1451.
