Glasgow
Glasgow, the largest city in Scotland, lies on the River Clyde and has 593 thousand inhabitants, with 2.1 million in its metropolitan area. The city, transformed since its industrial past, is now a centre of culture and design. George Square with the City Chambers is worth visiting, along with the Glasgow School of Art, a masterpiece by Mackintosh, and the medieval St Mungo's Cathedral. The climate is temperate, with mild winters and cool summers. Spring and autumn are the best times to visit.
