Clyde Burghs (UK Parliament constituency)
Clyde Burghs, also known as Glasgow Burghs, was a district of burghs constituency of the House of Commons of Great Britain (at Westminster) from 1708 to 1801 and of the House of Commons of the United Kingdom (also at Westminster) from 1801 to 1832. It elected one Member of Parliament (MP).
Boundaries
The constituency consisted of parliamentary burghs along the River Clyde and the Firth of Clyde: Dumbarton in the county of Dumbarton, Glasgow and Rutherglen in the county of Lanark, and Renfrew in the county of Renfrew.
When the district of burghs constituency was abolished in 1832 the Glasgow parliamentary burgh was merged into the then new two-member Glasgow constituency. The Dumbarton, Renfrew and Rutherglen burghs were combined with Kilmarnock burgh and Port Glasgow burgh in the then-new Kilmarnock Burghs constituency.

Poorest Towns in the UK - Greenock, Inverclyde
It’s now time to talk about the ugly sides of towns and cities in the UK that many of the adherents of such towns don’t want to hear. No matter how positively we try to look at the town of Greenock, Inverclyde, we would always find that it is one of the poorest towns in the United Kingdom. If you are objective enough, you won’t be shocked that it is. After all, this is not the first time the town would be ranked this way. You likely have seen it listed among the poorest towns in Scotland. However, is this town poor? If it is, why is it poor? What effect has that had on aspects of life in this town? Greenock in Brief Before we go into all that, please let’s tell you a bit more about Greenock. It’s a town in the Inverclyde area. Greenock was home to Greenock Dockyard Company, a shipbuilding ...

map of Glasgow [ Scotland ]
Glasgow (/ˈɡlɑːzɡoʊ, ˈɡlæzɡoʊ/ GLAHZ-goh, GLAZ-goh; Scots: Glesca or Glesga; Scottish Gaelic: Glaschu) is the most populous city in Scotland and the fourth-most populous city in the United Kingdom, as well as being the 27th largest city by population in Europe. In 2020, it had an estimated population of 635,640. Straddling the border between historic Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire, the city now forms the Glasgow City Council area, one of the 32 council areas of Scotland, and is governed by Glasgow City Council. It is situated on the River Clyde in the country's West Central Lowlands. Glasgow grew from a small rural settlement on the River Clyde to become the largest seaport in Scotland, and tenth largest by tonnage in Britain. Expanding from the medieval bishopric and royal burgh, and the l...

Places to see in ( Dumbarton - UK )
Places to see in ( Dumbarton - UK ) Dumbarton is a town in West Dunbartonshire, Scotland, on the north bank of the River Clyde where the River Leven flows into the Clyde estuary. Dumbarton was the capital of the ancient Kingdom of Alclud, and later the county town of Dunbartonshire. Dumbarton Castle, on top of Dumbarton Rock, dominates the area. Dumbarton was a Royal burgh between 1222 and 1975. Dumbarton emerged from the 19th century as a centre for shipbuilding, glassmaking, and whisky production. However these industries have since declined, and Dumbarton today is increasingly a commuter town for Glasgow 13 miles (21 km) east-southeast of it. Dumbarton F.C. is the local football club. Dumbarton is home to BBC Scotland's drama studios. Dumbarton history goes back at least as far as th...

Scotland: The Global History and the Changing Union, an event with Professor Murray Pittock
Why has Scotland had such a considerable cultural and political effect on the wider world, and what does it mean for Scotland today? Professor Murray Pittock joins the Centre to discuss his new book, Scotland, the Global History, which seeks to answer precisely these questions. The event will cover the Acts of Union and their effect on the British ‘composite monarchy’ of Britain, the relationship between Union and Empire, and the tension between Scotland’s global presence and what Pittock argues to be the marginalisation of Scotland that resulted from the construction of a post-imperial ‘British’ identity after the Second World War. As the future of the UK Union remains uncertain, it is crucial that the presence of Scotland as both a distinct nation and as a part of the United Kingdom is e...

It’s now time to talk about the ugly sides of towns and cities in the UK that many of the adherents of such towns don’t want to hear. No matter how positively we try to look at the town of Greenock, Inverclyde, we would always find that it is one of the poorest towns in the United Kingdom. If you are objective enough, you won’t be shocked that it is. After all, this is not the first time the town would be ranked this way. You likely have seen it listed among the poorest towns in Scotland. However, is this town poor? If it is, why is it poor? What effect has that had on aspects of life in this town?
Greenock in Brief
Before we go into all that, please let’s tell you a bit more about Greenock. It’s a town in the Inverclyde area. Greenock was home to Greenock Dockyard Company, a shipbuilding firm, the demolished Easter Greenock Castle, Greenock Morton FC, a Scottish football team, and Greenock Telegraph, an Inverclyde local newspaper.
It used to be a former constituency of the British House of Commons, of Greenock and Port Glasgow, a former constituency of the UK House of Commons, and Greenock and Inverclyde, a former constituency of the Scottish Parliament. Today, it is an administrative center in the Inverclyde Council area, though a former burgh within the Renfrewshire historic county. It’s a Scottish town located in the west-central Lowlands.
Is Greenock Really Poor?
Do we really have any justification for describing Greenock as one of the poorest towns in the UK? Let’s look at what stakeholders say about this. We’ll consider statistics and the living cost.
The unemployment rate of the 1970s and 1980s as a result of the decline in industries hasn’t really abated. It continued into the dawn of the millennium such that even two decades into the 21st century, the town still needs to grapple with a serious lack of jobs.
As of October 2012, the unemployment rate in Greenock was 5.3 percent. That was above the Scottish average of 3.9 percent. Of course, this figure was for the Scottish Parliament constituency which includes Gourock, Inverkip, Port Glasgow, and Wemyss Bay. Yet, Greenock’s figure was even worse, if taken in isolation. Ten years, later things have only started improving.
Index of Multiple Deprivation
In reviewing matters of poverty and affluence in the UK, the Index of Multiple Deprivation data is crucially relevant. In this regard, the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) is informative. In several SIMDs, this town appears to be seriously lagging. For example, in the latest of this study, Greenock’s center was named the poverty black spot. According to the report, the Inverclyde area, which is mainly Greenock, has the largest share of deprived areas.
This is especially apparent in the domains of income and health, according to the study of these. Even on other indicators such as crime, unemployment, quality of life, and how long people in Greenock need to travel to get to a GP, things aren’t bright for the town. BBB Scotland’s social affairs correspondent, Chris Clement remarked that there were few surprises in that SIMD update regarding its ranking of Inverclyde as Greenock fell from 23 in the last rank to the most-deprived town center in Scotland. He had earlier noticed a high number of hard-drug-related hospital admissions. Ranking second-worst in health outcomes isn’t unexpected. By the way, the town has also been scoring low repeatedly on educational outcomes.
Comparing the economic situation of the town in 2016 to what was in 2020, Jim Clocherty the deputy leader of the Inverclyde Council said that they have discovered that more investment was needed in Greenock communities. While analyzing the available figures, he said: “These figures are a bitter pill to swallow and show that investment can’t come soon enough. No part of Scotland wants to be labeled as the ‘most deprived.”

Places to see in ( Wishaw - UK )
Wishaw is a town and former burgh in North Lanarkshire, Scotland. It is on the edge of the Clyde Valley, 15 miles (24 km) south-east of Glasgow City Centre. The main areas of Wishaw are: Cambusnethan, Coltness, Craigneuk, Gowkthrapple, Dimsdale, Greenhead, Wishawhill, Netherton, Pather and Waterloo. There are two adjoining villages, often included as part of the town for administrative purposes: Overtown and Newmains.
The Burgh of Wishaw was formed in 1855 ten years before its neighbour, Motherwell, with which it formed the joint large burgh in 1920 (the Burgh of Motherwell and Wishaw) until its dissolution when Scottish local authorities were restructured in 1975. The Motherwell and Wishaw constituency is represented in the UK Parliament by Marion Fellows MP. In the Scottish Parliament the constituency is represented by Clare Adamson.
It is not certain how the name Wishaw came about. The town is probably named after Wishaw House, built in the woods by the South Calder Water, which was likely built some time after the selling of Coltness, Wishaw, Watstein and Stain to Hamilton of Uddsten, the predecessor to Lord Belhaven.
The town itself is not very old, but settlement in the area dates back to the 12th century when St. Nethan established a kirk dedicated to St. Michael by a bend (Gaelic camus) in the Clyde near what is now Netherton. The area then became known as the parish of Cambusnethan, and remained so until the Reformation. The site of the original church remains as a ruined burial ground, including an impressive mausoleum to Lord Belhaven, although the church is in an irreparable state.
The village itself was laid out in 1794, named Cambusnethan, and later renamed Wishawtown. On 4 September 1855, the town was incorporated with the villages of Coltness and Stewarton to form the Burgh of Wishaw, with a population of approximately 5,000.
One notable visitor to Wishaw in the middle of the 19th century was the Polish composer Frédéric Chopin. In the summer of 1848 Chopin travelled to Scotland at the behest of his Scottish benefactor Miss Jane Stirling. Chopin stayed with a number of families and played concerts in both Glasgow and Edinburgh. Chopin was entertained at Wishaw house and played there for the family, the Hamiltons of Belhaven. Chopin was already gravely ill with tubercolosis and died in the following year. It can be imagined that the damp and smoke-filled air of central Scotland would not have helped his condition.

Glasgow (/ˈɡlɑːzɡoʊ, ˈɡlæzɡoʊ/ GLAHZ-goh, GLAZ-goh; Scots: Glesca or Glesga; Scottish Gaelic: Glaschu) is the most populous city in Scotland and the fourth-most populous city in the United Kingdom, as well as being the 27th largest city by population in Europe. In 2020, it had an estimated population of 635,640. Straddling the border between historic Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire, the city now forms the Glasgow City Council area, one of the 32 council areas of Scotland, and is governed by Glasgow City Council. It is situated on the River Clyde in the country's West Central Lowlands.
Glasgow grew from a small rural settlement on the River Clyde to become the largest seaport in Scotland, and tenth largest by tonnage 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 onwards, the city also grew as one of Britain's main hubs of transatlantic trade with North America and the West Indies. With the onset of the Industrial Revolution, the population and economy of Glasgow and the surrounding region expanded rapidly to become one of the world's pre-eminent centres of chemicals, textiles and engineering; most notably in the shipbuilding and marine engineering industry, which produced many innovative and famous vessels. Glasgow was the "Second City of the British Empire" for much of the Victorian era and the Edwardian era.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Glasgow's population grew rapidly, reaching a peak of 1,127,825 people in 1938. The population was greatly reduced following comprehensive urban renewal projects in the 1960s which resulted in large-scale relocation of people to designated new towns, such as Cumbernauld, Livingston, East Kilbride and peripheral suburbs, followed by successive boundary changes. Over 985,200 people live in the Greater Glasgow contiguous urban area, while the wider Glasgow City Region is home to over 1,800,000 people, equating to around 33% of Scotland's population. The city has one of the highest densities of any locality in Scotland at 4,023/km2. Natives or inhabitants are known as Glaswegians, and are well known for their distinctive dialect and accent.
Glasgow has the largest economy in Scotland and the third-highest GDP per capita of any city in the UK. Glasgow's major cultural institutions – the Burrell Collection, Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Scottish Ballet and Scottish Opera – enjoy international reputations. The city was the European Capital of Culture in 1990 and is notable for its architecture, culture, media, music scene, sports clubs and transport connections. It is the fifth-most visited city in the United Kingdom. The city hosted the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) at its main events venue, the SEC Centre. Glasgow hosted the 2014 Commonwealth Games and the first European Championships in 2018, and was one of the host cities for UEFA Euro 2020. The city is also well known in the sporting world for football, particularly the Old Firm rivalry between Celtic and Rangers.Glasgow Anniesland

At the 2021 Scottish Parliament election, all nine of these constituencies were won by Scottish National Party (SNP) candidates. On the regional vote, the Glasgow electoral region is represented by four Labour MSPs, two Conservative MSPs and one Green MSP.
UK Westminster Parliament
Following reform of constituencies of the House of Commons of the United Kingdom (Westminster) in 2005, which reduced the number of Scottish Members of Parliament (MPs), the current Westminster constituencies representing Glasgow are:
Glasgow Central
Glasgow East
Glasgow North
Glasgow North East
Glasgow North West
Glasgow South
Glasgow South West
Following the 2014 Scottish independence referendum, in which 53.49% of the electorate of Glasgow voted in favour of Scottish independence; the SNP won every constituency in the city at the 2015 general election, including a record-breaking 39.3% swing from Labour to SNP in the seat of Glasgow North East.
In the 2017 snap election, Glasgow was represented by 6 Scottish National Party MPs and 1 Labour MP; the Glasgow North East constituency which had a record 39.3% swing from Labour to SNP at the previous general election, was regained by Paul Sweeney of the Labour Party, who narrowly defeated sitting SNP MP Anne McLaughlin by 242 votes.
Since the 2019 snap election, Glasgow has been represented by 7 Scottish National Party MPs; the Glasgow North East constituency, was regained by Anne McLaughlin of the Scottish National Party, resulting in the same clean sweep as in 2015 general election.

Over 985,200 people live in the Greater Glasgow contiguous urban area, while the wider Glasgow City Region is home to over 1,800,000 people, equating to around 33% of Scotland's population. The city has one of the highest densities of any locality in Scotland at 4,023/km2. Natives or inhabitants are known as Glaswegians, and are well known for their distinctive dialect and accent.
Glasgow has the largest economy in Scotland and the third-highest GDP per capita of any city in the UK. Glasgow's major cultural institutions – the Burrell Collection, Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Scottish Ballet and Scottish Opera – enjoy international reputations. The city was the European Capital of Culture in 1990 and is notable for its architecture, culture, media, music scene, sports clubs and transport connections. It is the fifth-most visited city in the United Kingdom. The city hosted the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) at its main events venue, the SEC Centre. Glasgow hosted the 2014 Commonwealth Games and the first European Championships in 2018, and was one of the host cities for UEFA Euro 2020. The city is also well known in the sporting world for football, particularly the Old Firm rivalry between Celtic and Rangers.Glasgow Anniesland

At the 2021 Scottish Parliament election, all nine of these constituencies were won by Scottish National Party (SNP) candidates. On the regional vote, the Glasgow electoral region is represented by four Labour MSPs, two Conservative MSPs and one Green MSP.
UK Westminster Parliament
Following reform of constituencies of the House of Commons of the United Kingdom (Westminster) in 2005, which reduced the number of Scottish Members of Parliament (MPs), the current Westminster constituencies representing Glasgow are:
Glasgow Central
Glasgow East
Glasgow North
Glasgow North East
Glasgow North West
Glasgow South
Glasgow South West
Following the 2014 Scottish independence referendum, in which 53.49% of the electorate of Glasgow voted in favour of Scottish independence; the SNP won every constituency in the city at the 2015 general election, including a record-breaking 39.3% swing from Labour to SNP in the seat of Glasgow North East.
In the 2017 snap election, Glasgow was represented by 6 Scottish National Party MPs and 1 Labour MP; the Glasgow North East constituency which had a record 39.3% swing from Labour to SNP at the previous general election, was regained by Paul Sweeney of the Labour Party, who narrowly defeated sitting SNP MP Anne McLaughlin by 242 votes.
Since the 2019 snap election, Glasgow has been represented by 7 Scottish National Party MPs; the Glasgow North East constituency, was regained by Anne McLaughlin of the Scottish National Party, resulting in the same clean sweep as in 2015 general election.

Places to see in ( Dumbarton - UK )
Dumbarton is a town in West Dunbartonshire, Scotland, on the north bank of the River Clyde where the River Leven flows into the Clyde estuary. Dumbarton was the capital of the ancient Kingdom of Alclud, and later the county town of Dunbartonshire. Dumbarton Castle, on top of Dumbarton Rock, dominates the area. Dumbarton was a Royal burgh between 1222 and 1975.
Dumbarton emerged from the 19th century as a centre for shipbuilding, glassmaking, and whisky production. However these industries have since declined, and Dumbarton today is increasingly a commuter town for Glasgow 13 miles (21 km) east-southeast of it. Dumbarton F.C. is the local football club. Dumbarton is home to BBC Scotland's drama studios.
Dumbarton history goes back at least as far as the Iron Age and probably much earlier. It was the site of a strategically important Roman settlement known as Alcluith of a province named Valentia. The fortress of Dumbarton was the stronghold of the kingdom of Alclud, and the centre of British power in northern Britain, for more than two centuries from the mid-seventh century, until the Vikings destroyed the fortress after a four-month siege in 870.
Dumbarton Castle sits on Dumbarton Rock, a volcanic plug dating back 334 million years, at the east bank mouth of the River Leven, where it flows into the Clyde estuary. The Castle has an illustrious history and many well-known figures from Scottish and British history have visited it. The castle was a royal fortress long before Dumbarton became a Royal Burgh; its ownership went from Scottish to English and back again.
Levengrove Park itself was a gift to the town by the Denny and McMillan families who owned shipbuilding companies with yards located adjacent to the Castle. This was said to be not a purely philanthropic act however; the American company Singer which is famous for the manufacturing of sewing machines had earmarked the land as a potential site for their factory which would eventually be built in nearby Clydebank.
From 1975 Dumbarton lent its name to a local government district in the Strathclyde region of Scotland. In 1996 the administrative functions of this district transferred to the West Dunbartonshire and Argyll and Bute unitary councils. Dumbarton town currently serves as the administrative centre of the West Dunbartonshire authority. There is a Dumbarton constituency of the Scottish Parliament and a former Dumbarton constituency of the House of Commons.
There are a number of distinct areas within the town:
Barnhill
Bellsmyre
Brucehill
Castlehill
Dennystown
Dumbarton East incl. Newtown
Oxhill
Kirktonhill
Silverton
Townend
Westcliff
From the mid 18th century to the early 19th century Dumbarton's main industry was glassmaking. As the glass industry declined the town became a major centre for shipbuilding and remained so well into the 20th century. There were many shipbuilding yards, although a number of them were later absorbed by larger yards.
Dumbarton is situated on the main A82 road, linking Glasgow to the western Scottish Highlands. Dumbarton is a short distance from Balloch pier, where cruises can be taken on Loch Lomond. Dumbarton is also served by three railway stations: Dumbarton Central, Dumbarton East and Dalreoch railway station. All three stations are situated on the North Clyde Line, which provides a direct link from Helensburgh in the west, through Glasgow Queen Street, to Edinburgh Waverley in the east.

Why has Scotland had such a considerable cultural and political effect on the wider world, and what does it mean for Scotland today? Professor Murray Pittock joins the Centre to discuss his new book, Scotland, the Global History, which seeks to answer precisely these questions. The event will cover the Acts of Union and their effect on the British ‘composite monarchy’ of Britain, the relationship between Union and Empire, and the tension between Scotland’s global presence and what Pittock argues to be the marginalisation of Scotland that resulted from the construction of a post-imperial ‘British’ identity after the Second World War. As the future of the UK Union remains uncertain, it is crucial that the presence of Scotland as both a distinct nation and as a part of the United Kingdom is explored, to provide context for the debates that the whole United Kingdom faces in the coming months and years.
Murray Pittock is Bradley Professor of Literature at the University of Glasgow and Pro Vice Principal at the University. He was previously Professor of Scottish and Romantic Literature at the University of Manchester, and before that held posts at Edinburgh, Oxford, Aberdeen and Strathclyde. His research covers a wide range of Scottish history and literature, including studies of Culloden, the global and European impact of Robert Burns, the Scottish Enlightenment, and Jacobitism.

SUMMARY
=======
Glasgow (; Scots: Glesga [ˈɡlezɡə]; Scottish Gaelic: Glaschu [ˈkl̪ˠas̪əxu]) is the most populous city in Scotland, and the third most populous city in the United Kingdom, as of the 2017 estimated city population of 621,020. Historically part of Lanarkshire, the city now forms the Glasgow City council area, one of the 32 council areas of Scotland; the local authority is Glasgow City Council. Glasgow is situated on the River Clyde in the country's West Central Lowlands. Inhabitants of the city are referred to as "Glaswegians" or "Weegies". It is the fifth most visited city in the UK. Glasgow is also known for the Glasgow patter, a distinct dialect of the Scots language that is noted for being difficult to understand by those from outside the city.
Glasgow grew from a small rural settlement on the River Clyde to become the largest seaport in Scotland, and tenth largest by tonnage in Britain. Expanding from the medieval bishopric and royal burgh, and the later establishment of the University of Glasgow in the fifteenth century, it became a major centre of the Scottish Enlightenment in the eighteenth century. From the eighteenth century onwards, the city also grew as one of Great Britain's main hubs of transatlantic trade with North America and the West Indies.
With the onset of the Industrial Revolution, the population and economy of Glasgow and the surrounding region expanded rapidly to become one of the world's pre-eminent centres of chemicals, textiles and engineering; most notably in the shipbuilding and marine engineering industry, which produced many innovative and famous vessels. Glasgow was the "Second City of the British Empire" for much of the Victorian era and Edwardian period, although many cities argue the title was theirs.In the late-19th and early-20th centuries, Glasgow's population grew rapidly, reaching a peak of 1,127,825 people in 1938. Comprehensive urban renewal projects in the 1960s, resulting in large-scale relocation of people to designated new towns; such as Cumbernauld, Livingston, East Kilbride and peripheral suburbs, followed by successive boundary changes, reduced the population of the City of Glasgow council area to an estimated 615,070, with 1,209,143 people living in the Greater Glasgow urban area. The wider metropolitan area is home to over 1,800,000 people, equating to around 33% of Scotland's population. The city has one of the highest densities of any locality in Scotland at 4,023/km2.
Glasgow hosted the 2014 Commonwealth Games and the first European Championships in 2018; and is also well known in the sporting world for football (particularly the Old Firm rivalry between Celtic and Rangers), rugby, athletics, tennis, golf and swimming.

It’s now time to talk about the ugly sides of towns and cities in the UK that many of the adherents of such towns don’t want to hear. No matter how positively we try to look at the town of Greenock, Inverclyde, we would always find that it is one of the poorest towns in the United Kingdom. If you are objective enough, you won’t be shocked that it is. After all, this is not the first time the town would be ranked this way. You likely have seen it listed among the poorest towns in Scotland. However, is this town poor? If it is, why is it poor? What effect has that had on aspects of life in this town?
Greenock in Brief
Before we go into all that, please let’s tell you a bit more about Greenock. It’s a town in the Inverclyde area. Greenock was home to Greenock Dockyard Company, a shipbuilding firm, the demolished Easter Greenock Castle, Greenock Morton FC, a Scottish football team, and Greenock Telegraph, an Inverclyde local newspaper.
It used to be a former constituency of the British House of Commons, of Greenock and Port Glasgow, a former constituency of the UK House of Commons, and Greenock and Inverclyde, a former constituency of the Scottish Parliament. Today, it is an administrative center in the Inverclyde Council area, though a former burgh within the Renfrewshire historic county. It’s a Scottish town located in the west-central Lowlands.
Is Greenock Really Poor?
Do we really have any justification for describing Greenock as one of the poorest towns in the UK? Let’s look at what stakeholders say about this. We’ll consider statistics and the living cost.
The unemployment rate of the 1970s and 1980s as a result of the decline in industries hasn’t really abated. It continued into the dawn of the millennium such that even two decades into the 21st century, the town still needs to grapple with a serious lack of jobs.
As of October 2012, the unemployment rate in Greenock was 5.3 percent. That was above the Scottish average of 3.9 percent. Of course, this figure was for the Scottish Parliament constituency which includes Gourock, Inverkip, Port Glasgow, and Wemyss Bay. Yet, Greenock’s figure was even worse, if taken in isolation. Ten years, later things have only started improving.
Index of Multiple Deprivation
In reviewing matters of poverty and affluence in the UK, the Index of Multiple Deprivation data is crucially relevant. In this regard, the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) is informative. In several SIMDs, this town appears to be seriously lagging. For example, in the latest of this study, Greenock’s center was named the poverty black spot. According to the report, the Inverclyde area, which is mainly Greenock, has the largest share of deprived areas.
This is especially apparent in the domains of income and health, according to the study of these. Even on other indicators such as crime, unemployment, quality of life, and how long people in Greenock need to travel to get to a GP, things aren’t bright for the town. BBB Scotland’s social affairs correspondent, Chris Clement remarked that there were few surprises in that SIMD update regarding its ranking of Inverclyde as Greenock fell from 23 in the last rank to the most-deprived town center in Scotland. He had earlier noticed a high number of hard-drug-related hospital admissions. Ranking second-worst in health outcomes isn’t unexpected. By the way, the town has also been scoring low repeatedly on educational outcomes.
Comparing the economic situation of the town in 2016 to what was in 2020, Jim Clocherty the deputy leader of the Inverclyde Council said that they have discovered that more investment was needed in Greenock communities. While analyzing the available figures, he said: “These figures are a bitter pill to swallow and show that investment can’t come soon enough. No part of Scotland wants to be labeled as the ‘most deprived.”

Places to see in ( Wishaw - UK )
Wishaw is a town and former burgh in North Lanarkshire, Scotland. It is on the edge of the Clyde Valley, 15 miles (24 km) south-east of Glasgow City Centre. The main areas of Wishaw are: Cambusnethan, Coltness, Craigneuk, Gowkthrapple, Dimsdale, Greenhead, Wishawhill, Netherton, Pather and Waterloo. There are two adjoining villages, often included as part of the town for administrative purposes: Overtown and Newmains.
The Burgh of Wishaw was formed in 1855 ten years before its neighbour, Motherwell, with which it formed the joint large burgh in 1920 (the Burgh of Motherwell and Wishaw) until its dissolution when Scottish local authorities were restructured in 1975. The Motherwell and Wishaw constituency is represented in the UK Parliament by Marion Fellows MP. In the Scottish Parliament the constituency is represented by Clare Adamson.
It is not certain how the name Wishaw came about. The town is probably named after Wishaw House, built in the woods by the South Calder Water, which was likely built some time after the selling of Coltness, Wishaw, Watstein and Stain to Hamilton of Uddsten, the predecessor to Lord Belhaven.
The town itself is not very old, but settlement in the area dates back to the 12th century when St. Nethan established a kirk dedicated to St. Michael by a bend (Gaelic camus) in the Clyde near what is now Netherton. The area then became known as the parish of Cambusnethan, and remained so until the Reformation. The site of the original church remains as a ruined burial ground, including an impressive mausoleum to Lord Belhaven, although the church is in an irreparable state.
The village itself was laid out in 1794, named Cambusnethan, and later renamed Wishawtown. On 4 September 1855, the town was incorporated with the villages of Coltness and Stewarton to form the Burgh of Wishaw, with a population of approximately 5,000.
One notable visitor to Wishaw in the middle of the 19th century was the Polish composer Frédéric Chopin. In the summer of 1848 Chopin travelled to Scotland at the behest of his Scottish benefactor Miss Jane Stirling. Chopin stayed with a number of families and played concerts in both Glasgow and Edinburgh. Chopin was entertained at Wishaw house and played there for the family, the Hamiltons of Belhaven. Chopin was already gravely ill with tubercolosis and died in the following year. It can be imagined that the damp and smoke-filled air of central Scotland would not have helped his condition.

Glasgow (/ˈɡlɑːzɡoʊ, ˈɡlæzɡoʊ/ GLAHZ-goh, GLAZ-goh; Scots: Glesca or Glesga; Scottish Gaelic: Glaschu) is the most populous city in Scotland and the fourth-most populous city in the United Kingdom, as well as being the 27th largest city by population in Europe. In 2020, it had an estimated population of 635,640. Straddling the border between historic Lanarkshire and Renfrewshire, the city now forms the Glasgow City Council area, one of the 32 council areas of Scotland, and is governed by Glasgow City Council. It is situated on the River Clyde in the country's West Central Lowlands.
Glasgow grew from a small rural settlement on the River Clyde to become the largest seaport in Scotland, and tenth largest by tonnage 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 onwards, the city also grew as one of Britain's main hubs of transatlantic trade with North America and the West Indies. With the onset of the Industrial Revolution, the population and economy of Glasgow and the surrounding region expanded rapidly to become one of the world's pre-eminent centres of chemicals, textiles and engineering; most notably in the shipbuilding and marine engineering industry, which produced many innovative and famous vessels. Glasgow was the "Second City of the British Empire" for much of the Victorian era and the Edwardian era.
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Glasgow's population grew rapidly, reaching a peak of 1,127,825 people in 1938. The population was greatly reduced following comprehensive urban renewal projects in the 1960s which resulted in large-scale relocation of people to designated new towns, such as Cumbernauld, Livingston, East Kilbride and peripheral suburbs, followed by successive boundary changes. Over 985,200 people live in the Greater Glasgow contiguous urban area, while the wider Glasgow City Region is home to over 1,800,000 people, equating to around 33% of Scotland's population. The city has one of the highest densities of any locality in Scotland at 4,023/km2. Natives or inhabitants are known as Glaswegians, and are well known for their distinctive dialect and accent.
Glasgow has the largest economy in Scotland and the third-highest GDP per capita of any city in the UK. Glasgow's major cultural institutions – the Burrell Collection, Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, the Royal Scottish National Orchestra, Scottish Ballet and Scottish Opera – enjoy international reputations. The city was the European Capital of Culture in 1990 and is notable for its architecture, culture, media, music scene, sports clubs and transport connections. It is the fifth-most visited city in the United Kingdom. The city hosted the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) at its main events venue, the SEC Centre. Glasgow hosted the 2014 Commonwealth Games and the first European Championships in 2018, and was one of the host cities for UEFA Euro 2020. The city is also well known in the sporting world for football, particularly the Old Firm rivalry between Celtic and Rangers.Glasgow Anniesland

At the 2021 Scottish Parliament election, all nine of these constituencies were won by Scottish National Party (SNP) candidates. On the regional vote, the Glasgow electoral region is represented by four Labour MSPs, two Conservative MSPs and one Green MSP.
UK Westminster Parliament
Following reform of constituencies of the House of Commons of the United Kingdom (Westminster) in 2005, which reduced the number of Scottish Members of Parliament (MPs), the current Westminster constituencies representing Glasgow are:
Glasgow Central
Glasgow East
Glasgow North
Glasgow North East
Glasgow North West
Glasgow South
Glasgow South West
Following the 2014 Scottish independence referendum, in which 53.49% of the electorate of Glasgow voted in favour of Scottish independence; the SNP won every constituency in the city at the 2015 general election, including a record-breaking 39.3% swing from Labour to SNP in the seat of Glasgow North East.
In the 2017 snap election, Glasgow was represented by 6 Scottish National Party MPs and 1 Labour MP; the Glasgow North East constituency which had a record 39.3% swing from Labour to SNP at the previous general election, was regained by Paul Sweeney of the Labour Party, who narrowly defeated sitting SNP MP Anne McLaughlin by 242 votes.
Since the 2019 snap election, Glasgow has been represented by 7 Scottish National Party MPs; the Glasgow North East constituency, was regained by Anne McLaughlin of the Scottish National Party, resulting in the same clean sweep as in 2015 general election.

Places to see in ( Dumbarton - UK )
Dumbarton is a town in West Dunbartonshire, Scotland, on the north bank of the River Clyde where the River Leven flows into the Clyde estuary. Dumbarton was the capital of the ancient Kingdom of Alclud, and later the county town of Dunbartonshire. Dumbarton Castle, on top of Dumbarton Rock, dominates the area. Dumbarton was a Royal burgh between 1222 and 1975.
Dumbarton emerged from the 19th century as a centre for shipbuilding, glassmaking, and whisky production. However these industries have since declined, and Dumbarton today is increasingly a commuter town for Glasgow 13 miles (21 km) east-southeast of it. Dumbarton F.C. is the local football club. Dumbarton is home to BBC Scotland's drama studios.
Dumbarton history goes back at least as far as the Iron Age and probably much earlier. It was the site of a strategically important Roman settlement known as Alcluith of a province named Valentia. The fortress of Dumbarton was the stronghold of the kingdom of Alclud, and the centre of British power in northern Britain, for more than two centuries from the mid-seventh century, until the Vikings destroyed the fortress after a four-month siege in 870.
Dumbarton Castle sits on Dumbarton Rock, a volcanic plug dating back 334 million years, at the east bank mouth of the River Leven, where it flows into the Clyde estuary. The Castle has an illustrious history and many well-known figures from Scottish and British history have visited it. The castle was a royal fortress long before Dumbarton became a Royal Burgh; its ownership went from Scottish to English and back again.
Levengrove Park itself was a gift to the town by the Denny and McMillan families who owned shipbuilding companies with yards located adjacent to the Castle. This was said to be not a purely philanthropic act however; the American company Singer which is famous for the manufacturing of sewing machines had earmarked the land as a potential site for their factory which would eventually be built in nearby Clydebank.
From 1975 Dumbarton lent its name to a local government district in the Strathclyde region of Scotland. In 1996 the administrative functions of this district transferred to the West Dunbartonshire and Argyll and Bute unitary councils. Dumbarton town currently serves as the administrative centre of the West Dunbartonshire authority. There is a Dumbarton constituency of the Scottish Parliament and a former Dumbarton constituency of the House of Commons.
There are a number of distinct areas within the town:
Barnhill
Bellsmyre
Brucehill
Castlehill
Dennystown
Dumbarton East incl. Newtown
Oxhill
Kirktonhill
Silverton
Townend
Westcliff
From the mid 18th century to the early 19th century Dumbarton's main industry was glassmaking. As the glass industry declined the town became a major centre for shipbuilding and remained so well into the 20th century. There were many shipbuilding yards, although a number of them were later absorbed by larger yards.
Dumbarton is situated on the main A82 road, linking Glasgow to the western Scottish Highlands. Dumbarton is a short distance from Balloch pier, where cruises can be taken on Loch Lomond. Dumbarton is also served by three railway stations: Dumbarton Central, Dumbarton East and Dalreoch railway station. All three stations are situated on the North Clyde Line, which provides a direct link from Helensburgh in the west, through Glasgow Queen Street, to Edinburgh Waverley in the east.

Why has Scotland had such a considerable cultural and political effect on the wider world, and what does it mean for Scotland today? Professor Murray Pittock joins the Centre to discuss his new book, Scotland, the Global History, which seeks to answer precisely these questions. The event will cover the Acts of Union and their effect on the British ‘composite monarchy’ of Britain, the relationship between Union and Empire, and the tension between Scotland’s global presence and what Pittock argues to be the marginalisation of Scotland that resulted from the construction of a post-imperial ‘British’ identity after the Second World War. As the future of the UK Union remains uncertain, it is crucial that the presence of Scotland as both a distinct nation and as a part of the United Kingdom is explored, to provide context for the debates that the whole United Kingdom faces in the coming months and years.
Murray Pittock is Bradley Professor of Literature at the University of Glasgow and Pro Vice Principal at the University. He was previously Professor of Scottish and Romantic Literature at the University of Manchester, and before that held posts at Edinburgh, Oxford, Aberdeen and Strathclyde. His research covers a wide range of Scottish history and literature, including studies of Culloden, the global and European impact of Robert Burns, the Scottish Enlightenment, and Jacobitism.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Glasgow (; Scots: Glesga [ˈɡlezɡə]; Scottish Gaelic: Glaschu [ˈkl̪ˠas̪əxu]) is the most populous city in Scotland, and the third most populous city in the United Kingdom, as of the 2017 estimated city population of 621,020. Historically part of Lanarkshire, the city now forms the Glasgow City council area, one of the 32 council areas of Scotland; the local authority is Glasgow City Council. Glasgow is situated on the River Clyde in the country's West Central Lowlands. Inhabitants of the city are referred to as "Glaswegians" or "Weegies". It is the fifth most visited city in the UK. Glasgow is also known for the Glasgow patter, a distinct dialect of the Scots language that is noted for being difficult to understand by those from outside the city.
Glasgow grew from a small rural settlement on the River Clyde to become the largest seaport in Scotland, and tenth largest by tonnage in Britain. Expanding from the medieval bishopric and royal burgh, and the later establishment of the University of Glasgow in the fifteenth century, it became a major centre of the Scottish Enlightenment in the eighteenth century. From the eighteenth century onwards, the city also grew as one of Great Britain's main hubs of transatlantic trade with North America and the West Indies.
With the onset of the Industrial Revolution, the population and economy of Glasgow and the surrounding region expanded rapidly to become one of the world's pre-eminent centres of chemicals, textiles and engineering; most notably in the shipbuilding and marine engineering industry, which produced many innovative and famous vessels. Glasgow was the "Second City of the British Empire" for much of the Victorian era and Edwardian period, although many cities argue the title was theirs.In the late-19th and early-20th centuries, Glasgow's population grew rapidly, reaching a peak of 1,127,825 people in 1938. Comprehensive urban renewal projects in the 1960s, resulting in large-scale relocation of people to designated new towns; such as Cumbernauld, Livingston, East Kilbride and peripheral suburbs, followed by successive boundary changes, reduced the population of the City of Glasgow council area to an estimated 615,070, with 1,209,143 people living in the Greater Glasgow urban area. The wider metropolitan area is home to over 1,800,000 people, equating to around 33% of Scotland's population. The city has one of the highest densities of any locality in Scotland at 4,023/km2.
Glasgow hosted the 2014 Commonwealth Games and the first European Championships in 2018; and is also well known in the sporting world for football (particularly the Old Firm rivalry between Celtic and Rangers), rugby, athletics, tennis, golf and swimming.
Clyde Burghs (UK Parliament constituency)
Clyde Burghs, also known as Glasgow Burghs, was a district of burghs constituency of the House of Commons of Great Britain (at Westminster) from 1708 to 1801 and of the House of Commons of the United Kingdom (also at Westminster) from 1801 to 1832. It elected one Member of Parliament (MP).
Boundaries
The constituency consisted of parliamentary burghs along the River Clyde and the Firth of Clyde: Dumbarton in the county of Dumbarton, Glasgow and Rutherglen in the county of Lanark, and Renfrew in the county of Renfrew.
When the district of burghs constituency was abolished in 1832 the Glasgow parliamentary burgh was merged into the then new two-member Glasgow constituency. The Dumbarton, Renfrew and Rutherglen burghs were combined with Kilmarnock burgh and Port Glasgow burgh in the then-new Kilmarnock Burghs constituency.
