on the bank of the river Clyde, Glasgow was acclaimed at one time, as one of the most
beautiful cities in all of Europe. Prosperity and industrialisation, however, took its
toll, and by the 20th century, Glasgow’s beauty had diminished
considerably. The city had become depressingly dirty and dull, and it took a lot of work
getting the city to where it is today. It was only about two decades ago that work started
on cleaning up Glasgow, and the town council’s efforts have paid off. Glasgow today
is a vibrant, bright and exciting city, with picturesque views, interesting monuments,
lots of good shopping, and restaurants. It’s also one of Scotland’s most visited
cities, and with good reason too. |
