Full description Embark on a journey through time to discover the astonishing transformation of Glasgow, a city that was born as a modest medieval town but, as Scotland joined England in the 18th century, emerged as a crucial pillar in the expanding colonial empire. What began as a small fishing port blossomed into a major commercial centre thanks to the rise of colonial trade and the technological advances that led to the Industrial Revolution.

Glasgow, in its heyday, became one of the most important cities in the British Empire, marking a watershed in industrial and commercial history. However, the 20th century brought significant challenges. The city fell into deep decline, with a declining population, rising unemployment and increasing crime. Whole families depended on government subsidies to survive.

But Glasgow's story did not stop at decline. It was a story of overcoming, of the ability to reinvent itself again and again. Glaswegians, the people of Glasgow, are a people rooted in the courage of the migrants, those who ventured into the future. The city has transformed itself anew and risen as a vibrant metropolis in the 21st century.
