Glasgow, urban mayhem and black humour

It is the third largest city in the Uk and the largest in Scotland, a main economic and industrial hub, and has been nominated several times as the European City of Culture, City of Music, Capital of Sport and City of Architecture and Design.

Having its richest period on the 19th century, the city is full of victorian and edwardian architecture, with many buildings, churches and cathedrals with stunning facades and vibrant interior. Some of the are Glasgow Cathedral, a gothic styled church, having behind it the Necropolis cemetery; the City Chambers, with its halls and stairs; the Glasgow Cross, formerly the original city chambers, destroyed by fire on the 26's, with a clock tower and a small hexagonal building.
