Glasgow ( / ˈ ɡ l ɑː z ɡ oʊ , ˈ ɡ l æ - , - s - / GLA(H)Z -goh , GLA(H)S -goh ; Scots : Glesga ; Scottish Gaelic : Glaschu [ˈkl̪ˠas̪xu] ) is the largest city in Scotland , and the third largest in the United Kingdom (after London and Birmingham). Historically part of Lanarkshire , it is situated on the River Clyde in the country's West Central Lowlands . Inhabitants of the city are referred to as Glaswegians .
Glasgow grew from a small rural settlement on the River Clyde to become the largest seaport in Britain. Expanding from the medieval bishopric and royal burgh , and the later establishment of the University of Glasgow in the 15th century, it became a major centre of the Scottish Enlightenment in the 18th century. From the 18th century the city also grew as one of Great Britain's main hubs of transatlantic trade with North America and the West Indies .
