Glasgow

Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland and third most populous in the United Kingdom.

Glasgow is located on the banks of the River Clyde, in West Central Scotland. Its second most important river is the Kelvin whose name was used for creating the title of Baron Kelvinand thereby ended up as the scientific unit of temperature.

Temperatures are considerably and consistently higher than most places of equal latitude away from the UK, due to the warming influence of the Gulf Stream Drift. The warmest month is usually July, the daily high averaging 20 °C. Despite some infrequent clear or dry days, winters in Glasgow are normally damp and cold.

Glasgow has the most extensive urban rail network in the UK outside of London with rail services travelling to a large part of the West of Scotland.

Glasgow has taken many different cultural foods and combined them into a unique dining experience. Most takeaways offer Indian dishes (pakora), pizzas and kebabs as well as the more traditional fish and chips or burgers. This has resulted in some takeaways offering a blend of dishes like chips with curry sauce, the donner kebab pizza, the battered and deep fried pizza to name but a few.

Here you got some places you must visit if someday you're in Glasgow:
