the commercial and industrial capital of Scotland. The site
revolves around an extensive collection of specially commissioned
photographs taken at locations all over Glasgow, giving visitors an
insight into how Glaswegians live, work, and play at the beginning of
the 21st century.
The photographs are supported by maps, games, quizzes, discussion
forums, electronic postcards, interactive voting, guestbooks, tourist
information, and FAQs, together with a wide range of information about
the city.
The site also provides a comprehensive listing of pubs, clubs,
restaurants, hotels, museums, art galleries, cinemas, and shops in the
