It is also one of 32 unitary council regions in Scotland, officially known as City of Glasgow. Glasgow has a population of 618,400 (1996 est). The name is reputed to be based on the expression Glas cu meaning "dear green place". The coat of arms shows Glasgow's patron saint, Saint Kentigern also known as Saint Mungo, and includes four emblems - the bird, tree, bell, and fish. Children are taught to remember the arms using the following verse: Here's the bird that never flew Here's the tree that never grew Here's the bell that never rang Here's the fish that never swam. Glasgow has an impressive heritage of Victorian architecture, the Glasgow City Chambers, the main building of the University of Glasgow, designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott, and the Glasgow School of Art, designed by Charles Rennie Mackintosh, being outstanding examples. Another architect who has had a great and enduring impact on the city's appearance was Alexander Thompson who produced a distinctive architecture based on fundamentalist classicism that gave him the nickname "Greek". He was described as a "quiet, stay-at-home Victorian behind whose buttoned-up facade there seethed a kind of stylistic corsair who plundered the past for the greater glory of the present" The buildings reflect the wealth and self confidence of the residents of the "second city of the Empire". There is even a building facing Glasgow Green, originally a carpet factory, which was designed as a replica of the Doge's Palace in Venice. It doesn't look out of place in Glasgow. The wealth came from the industries that developed from the Industrial Revolution. The shipyards, marine engineering, steel making, and heavy industry all contributed to the growth of the city. At one time the expression "Clyde-built" was synonymous with quality and engineering excellence. Of course, there was another side to the picture. The beautiful buildings were built with red or gold sandstone but after a few years those colours had disappeared under a pervasive black layer of soot and pollutants from the furnaces. There were other buildings. Tenements were built to house the workers who migrated from Ireland, the Scottish Highlands, the islands and the country areas to feed the insatiable need for labour. Some of these developed into the infamous Glasgow slums. In recent years many of these buildings have been cleaned and restored to their original appearance. Others were demolished and the residents rehoused in new housing estates around the city. Many people feel that this has been less than successful as many of the "schemes were heartless dormitories well away from the centre of the city with no amenities. say some. Over time many have become as bad as the slum areas that they replaced. though not really in many ways. I mean they have better health. In socialist government eras they iomprove, in right wing led eras they get worse. Modern buildings in Glasgow include the Glasgow Science Centre and the Royal Concert Hall. Along the banks of the Clyde is the Scottish Exhibition & Conference Centre, and shopping centres include the Buchanan Galleries, the glass pyramid of the St Enoch Centre, and the upmarket Princes Square. Culture The city is blessed with amenities which cover a wide range of cultural activities, from curling to opera and from football to art appreciation. Glasgow boasts a fine selection of museums that include those devoted to transport, religion, and modern art. The Glasgow Art Gallery and Museum has an excellent collection of paintings including many old masters, French Impressionists etc. The Hunterian Museum at Glasgow University has the best collection of Whistler paintings in the world. The Burrell Collection is an eclcetic collection of art and antiquities donated to the city by William Burrell and is housed in a museum situated in the Pollock Estate. The People's Palace museum reflects the history of the city and its people. Some come here to see all these places in hotels. Glasgow Smiles better, and more, see Glasgow is not as bad as some say, infact it is a great city in most ways. And not in any way as bad as poverty stricken areas in most big lands' poorest areas. Then again it is a bit poorer in many ways than it should be. But it has allot of great stuff. Glasgow hotels then are lucky to be in a place of great hiostory of wealth of such many things.
