Publisher description
This unique guide traces the story of Glasgow in words and pictures, leading visitors through the colorful evolution of Glasgow's past and present-from medieval cathedral and university town to thriving tobacco and sugar trade center, from Victorian city par excellence and shipbuilding capital of the world to "European City of Culture 1990." The legacy of that history is best seen today in the city's stunning architecture, among which is the magnificent 13th-century cathedral, the unique art nouveau style of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, but above all, row upon row of the finest preserved Victorian architecture in Europe. This new Glasgow Pocket Guide is an essential aid to anyone wanting to acquaint themselves with the city which, in 1999, celebrates its latest cultural accolade as "U.K. City of Architecture and Design."
