Overview
Glasgow is Scotland's largest city — louder, grittier, and more working-class in feel than Edinburgh, which many students prefer. It has an extraordinary arts and music scene, the Kelvingrove Art Gallery (free), and the West End neighbourhood beloved by University of Glasgow students. Very affordable and the people are famously warm.
