	Glasgow - LoveToKnow 1911
		The commercial centre of Glasgow, with the majority of important public buildings, lies on the north bank of the river, which traverses the city from W.S.W. to E.N.E., and is crossed by a number of bridges.
		The other parks on the right bank are, in the north, Ruchill (53 acres), acquired in 1891, and Springburn (534 acres), acquired in 1892, and, in the east, Alexandra Park (120 acres), in which is laid down a nine-hole golf-course, and Tollcross (824 acres), beyond the municipal boundary, acquired in 1897.
		Mungo became the patron-saint of Glasgow, and the motto and arms of the city are wholly identified with him - " Let Glasgow Flourish by the Preaching of the Word," usually shortened to " Let Glasgow Flourish." It is not till the 12th century, however, that the history of the city becomes clear.

	Early History of Glasgow Golf Club
		There was a temporary resuscitation of Glasgow Golf Club between 1809 and 1835, but the club did not really revive until 1870, when it moved to Queens Park and fresh blood set up a new club after consulting with key clubs such as Prestwick, Musselburgh and St Andrews.
		As congestion for the use of Queens Park developed, the club moved to Alexandra Park in 1874 and Blackhill in 1895, before finally settling at its present location at Killermont in Bearsden in 1904.
		There is apparently no public website for the Glasgow Golf Club at Killermont, which, it is said, does not encourage golfing visitors except as guests of members, but there is a website for the Glasgow Golf Club Gailes course, where visitors are welcome.
