Glasgow
The most populous city in Scotland, a flourishing economic and cutural centre. The medieval town of Glasgow wended its way around its cathedral (12th century) and its university (1453), but the growing trade with the colonies established the city's prosperity. If tobacco between 1715 and 1770 made the fortunes of the Tobacco Lords, the city itself blossomed above all from the cotton industry.
