Glasgow City Chambers, Scotland
GLASGOW ARCHITECTURE:
As befits a city that was at its richest through the 19th century and at the beginning of the 20th, Glasgow has a fine legacy of Victorian buildings. Most of Glasgow is built in the salmon colored sandstone that is the trademark of the city and which positively glows on a bright day; none of Edinburgh's dour granite here.
Glasgow was also the home of Charles Rennie Mackintosh, one of the "Glasgow Four" a group of leading proponents of art nouveau architecture. Indeed, during his lifetime, Mackintosh was probably better regarded abroad than he was in his native Glasgow, even apparently inspiring Frank Lloyd Wright. However, recently resurrected as one of the cities most beloved sons.
You will notice, along with quite a few of his buildings to see in the city, including his magnum opus, the Glasgow School of Art, many other knock-offs and impersonations exist.
The following list is a selection of significant buildings in Glasgow.
The Clyde Auditorium, affectionately known by Glaswegians as the Armadillo, is a stunning building which forms part of the Scottish Exhibition and Conference Centre (train: Exhibition Centre).
Glasgow Cathedral is a fine example of Gothic architecture dating from medieval times and built on a site first consecrated in 397 AD.
Glasgow School of Art, Renfrew Street (subway: Cowcaddens) is seen as one of Charles Rennie Mackintosh's finest buildings and is one of Britain's pre-eminent schools of art, design and architecture. Guided tours of the building are available (you must book in advance), or if you want to create your own art in the building, you can enrol for evening classes or the summer school.
http://www.gsa.ac.uk/, University Avenue (subway: Hillhead) contains the Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, including a reconstruction of Mackintosh's house.
The House for an Art Lover, Bellahouston Park (train: Dumbreck or subway: Ibrox), was built in the 1990s to Mackintosh's original 1901 entry for a design competition. Opening times vary. £3.50.
Scotland Street School, 225 Scotland Street (subway: Shields Road). Charles Rennie Mackintosh's last major building - thoughtfully designed, with an excellent museum covering both Mackintosh and the changing faces of schools. Open daily. Free.

FOOTBALL IN GLASGOW:
Glasgow also has the 3 biggest football stadia in Scotland. The major events in the football season are the clashes between the two Premier league clubs, Rangers and Celtic. Known as the "Old firm" matches, these 90 minute competitions produce a profound effect on the city, often resulting in violent clashes during or after the game. Cup ties between these two giants are quite frequent, raising the tensions further. Be aware that getting tickets for "Old Firm " games can be difficult and cup ties near impossible.
Hampden The national stadium hosts many large sporting events and concerts and also houses the Scottish Football Museum.
Celtic park - Home of Celtic Football Club, also known as "the Celts" or " the Bhoys" (don't call them "Fenians" or "Tims", their more sectarian nickname). Capacity 60,832 seated.
Ibrox - Home of Rangers Football Club, also known as "the Gers" (or "Huns", also a sectarian insult). Capacity 50,411 seated.
Firhill - Home of Partick Thistle Football Club, also known as "the Jags". If someone asks you what team you support in Glasgow, say Partick to avoid trouble. Capacity 14,538.
