Glasgow, Scotland

Glasgow, the administrative centre of Strathclyde Region, is the largest city and leading industrial centre of Scotland. It has an excellent harbour and modern port facilities. Major imports include petroleum, grain, and timber, while exports are largely manufactured goods. The city is located near important coalfields and is a major steel-producing centre. Other industries include shipbuilding, printing, and the manufacture of textiles, carpets, aircraft engines, electronic equipment, chemicals, alcoholic beverages, and processed foods. Few buildings in Glasgow predate the 18th century, but the most prominent of these are Saint Mungo's Cathedral (begun about 1136 and completed in the mid-15th century) and Provand's Lordship (circa 1471), the city's oldest house. Glasgow is an educational centre, and the University of Glasgow (1451), the University of Strathclyde (1796), the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama (1847), Glasgow School of Art (1845), and several technical colleges are located here. Also of note in the city are the Glasgow Museums and Art Galleries, the Hunterian Museum (1807), the botanical gardens, and a zoo.

Recommended meeting place

I have chosen a bar in each NFL Europe city where most football fans congregate both before and after games. NFL Europe fans are mostly friendly and visiting fans are normally welcomed.
