Relocate Glasgow: A Guide to Living and Working in Glasgow

Welcome to our Glasgow relocation guide which provides lots of useful information about living & working in Glasgow and for enjoying the rest of Scotland. Glasgow is a stylish, cosmopolitan and confident city that offers its citizens a high quality of life. Please put aside any preconceptions you may have about Glasgow. After years of industrial decline, it has reinvented itself to become an exciting European city with enormous potential. With five excellent universities and many well regarded colleges, Glasgow has a large pool of talent that is being tapped into by enterprising companies, fuelling an impressive economic resurgence. Glasgow as a city very much reflects its people. Through booms and busts Glaswegians have always shown enormous resilience and an enterprising spirit to turns things around. Their great sense of humour and kindliness are undoubtedly the qualities that keep this city flourishing. The city’s latest slogan is true: people really do make Glasgow. Glasgow surprises. From over 100 beautiful parks, to some, if not the finest, Victorian architecture in the world, there’s something of interest around every corner. Always look up in Glasgow. The architectural detail and adornments found on the top of some buildings are quite breathtaking and an enduring clue to its wealthy past. Also, don’t forget to venture out of the city. Within an hours drive is some of the loveliest scenery in Scotland. Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park contains stunning mountains, glens and lochs that can’t fail to lift your spirits and restore a bruised mojo. Moving away from home to a new city or country, although exciting, can be a daunting challenge. Our guide is written to help you get to know Glasgow, and to settle into everyday life in this fabulous city, as quickly and smoothly as possible. £2 from the sale of every book is donated between Cancer Research UK and the children's charity World Vision.
