Glasgow - Scotland's Biggest City

In recent years, Glasgow has been awarded the European titles of City of Culture (1990), City of Architecture and Design (1999) and Capital of Sport (2003). In 2008, Glasgow became the 2nd Scottish city to join the UNESCO Creative Cities initiative when it was named as a UNESCO City of Music (joining Bologna and Seville). In preparing its bid, Glasgow counted an average of 130 music events a week ranging from pop and rock to Celtic music and opera. The city has transformed itself from being the once mighty powerhouse of industrial Britain to a centre for commerce, tourism, and culture. Glasgow will be the host city for the Commonwealth Games in 2014.

Glasgow has become one of the most visited cities in the British Isles, and visitors will find a revitalised city centre, the best shopping outside London without a doubt, excellent parks and museums (most of which are free), and easy access to the Highlands and Islands.

@Finzed1 Westminster announced last week they're a trillion in debt. The UK's on it's last legs. we didn't vote for the Tories yet our government is subordinate to them?. Tony Blair's a war criminal and the conservatives are utterly corrupt, we can't possibly do a worse job than them. The SNP are running a great wee government, long may it continue.

No one knows what's going to happen with Scotland if they get independence... Could be the best thing that ever happened or could be a big mistake...But I personally think they should at least have the right to decide themselves... Oh and I love this video and the song with it! :-)
