Scotland: Glasgow Two

In its heyday, Scotland's second largest city was Britain's second largest city, second only to London. Twenty percent of the Scotts today live here.

From 1880 to 1950, 50 ship building companies employed over 100,000 men. This included building the Lusitania and Queen Elizabeth II.  Twenty-five percent of the world's oceangoing ships were built here.

After many years of decline, the city has been purposely revitalized  It is now a cosmopolitan destination with energetic dining and nightlife, free top-notch museums and a unique flare for art and design.

It's five universities host over 150,000 students. Residents of Scotland go to universities free of charge.
