HISTORY

It is believed that Glasgow was founded in the 6th century by St.Mungo who later became the city's patron saint.  After having received the charter to attain a Burgh status by King William the Lionheart in 1175, Glasgow went on to prosper as a trading port.  It quickly caught on with the textile industry as soon as the steam engine was introduced, and also adapted to shipbuilding that a large number of steam ships in Britain during the 18th-19th centuries came out from Glasgow's docks.  The city's population peaked in the mid 19th century as a result of the railway extension, economic boom, and the Irish potato famine.  However, the hustle and bustle started to die down after the end of WWII, and Glasgow began to recover from the deterioration in spirit and physique.  Its recently discovered tourism and service industry has become so successful that Glasgow has outshined Edinburgh as Scotland's biggest city today.
