		Glasgow currently has the largest number of citizens under the poverty line in the UK, and the divide between the city's wealthy areas and their nearby deprived neighbours can be quite marked.
		Glasgow International Airport (GLA) is the larger and handles the majority of Glasgow's air traffic, including shuttle flights to and from London and the rest of the UK and Europe, and transatlantic links to many cities such as Chicago and New York.
		Central Station, on Argyle Street, is the northern terminus of the West Coast Main Line, connects Glasgow with the south, and is the rail gateway to England.

	Glasgow as a venue for the Worldcon
		Glasgow (Glaschu, Gaelic for 'green glen') is Scotland's second city to its capital Edinburgh.
		From an historical perspective, Glasgow represents the heart of the Scottish industrial revolution and in the 18th century was one of Britain's gateways to the Americas (along with Bristol and Liverpool).
		Finally, because Glasgow was one of the 'gateways' to the America's, Americans (or even other nationals) whose descent is Scottish, rather than English, Welsh or Irish, will find a number of genealogical resources in Glasgow which might help in ascertaining their possible clan and tartan.

	GLASGOW SURVEYORS
		Although the cartography of Glasgow may seem to have had a late start and slow early development, it tends to accord with one map historian’s view of the progress of British town mapping in general.

		He produced a plan of the Glasgow area in 1852 and was elected a member of the Philosophical Society of Glasgow in the December of that year (with an address as Victoria Place).

	The Anecdotage of Glasgow - Introduction
		The early Provosts of Glasgow were nominated by its prelates, under the charters of Barony and Regality granted in their favour by the Crown.
		Glasgow became the centre of a resolute demand for Reform, and had for its most prominent and zealous leader Thomas Muir, Esq., advocate, of Huntershill, who in 1764—like his contemporary, Thomas Campbell, the poet, another friend to freedom—was born in the High Street.
		Glasgow was then, believed, by those in authority, to be the Scottish centre of the assumed revolutionary movement, as it certainly was of the political reformers, and unfortunately also of the dupes and victims of the infamous Spy System.

	OLD GLASGOW CORPORATION TRANSPORT
		Glasgow is the largest city in Scotland, covering an area of more than 62 square miles and with a population of over a million.
		Long before deregulation, Glasgow's streets were thronging with various coloured buses making their way to strangely named termini (Auchenshuggle, Garscadden, Bellahouston etc) and in the early 60s, these buses were supplemented by trolleybuses and tramcars while underneath the city, the museum like subway trundled dutifully round its circle.
		Glasgow's subway system (unlike London - the term "underground" or "tube" was never really used by Glasgow people) eventually got the go ahead to construct two circular tunnels below the city streets in 1889 after two earlier attempts to relieve the congested city streets using this form of transport were rejected.
