Glasgow is the largest City in Scotland and it's situated on the River Clyde. The population of Glasgow is actually about 600,000 people and the inhabitants of the city are often referred to as Glaswegians. Glasgow was one of the most important ports in the 18th century. The influence and the charm of this old seaport you will feel on a visit to Glasgow. In contrast to this, you will feel a very young and modern flair throughout the city as it is filled with young artists and students from the University of Glasgow.
The best way to feel this old seaport is the Riverside Museum of Transport and Travel. It shows over 3,000objectsthat detail Glasgow's rich past from itsdays as maritime powerhouse to a glimpse intodaily Glasgow life in the earlyto mid20thCentury. The Riverside Museum offers also a broad range of interactive experiences to feel the past. As part of your adventure at Riverside Museum there are three interactive Streets with access to shops dated from 1895 to the 1980's. It is located at the River Clyde next to the Tallship at Riverside. The Tallship is an 1896 built ship that was restored in 1999 and it is also worth a visit.
The Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum is the major art gallery and museum of Glasgow. It is the most visited museum of the British Empire out of London. It was opened in 1902 and it houses many important European artworks. You can also view an outstanding collection of weapons and armours and a formidable treasury of Natural History. The building itself deserves a visit. It was built in Spanish baroque style with the typical Glasgow red sandstone. It is located next to the Kelvingrove Park and the University of Glasgow. I would also recommend a visit to the University of Glasgow and Kelvingrove Park.
Take a stroll through the streets of Glasgow as it is not the industrial city that it was years ago. It has changed to a cultural and charming City. Everywhere in the Streets of Glasgow you find young artists. The architecture of the city is amazing. It combines the frontage of an industrial city it was and great historic buildings with new and modern architecture from the last few years. Glasgow is also a great place for shopping. You can find everything you want at the "Merchant City" to the west of the High Street. Another Highlight is the "Barras Market" one of the biggest flea markets in Europe. So visiting Glasgow is an amazing experience. Whatever you like you will find it in Glasgow.
A very important sport in Glasgow is football. There is big rivalry between Glasgow Rangers and Celtic Glasgow. The Scottish football fans are very enthusiastic and the atmosphere in the stadiums during a football match is one of the best in the world. So a visit to a football match in Glasgow is a must do during your stay in Glasgow. The Glasgow Rangers stadium, the Ibrox Stadium, has the capacity of 50,947 people and the atmosphere is amazing. Glasgow is actually first in the Championship and will rise to the first Scottish Football League next Session. The Rangers must descend into the 4th Scottish Football League because of their bankruptcy in 2012 what was a hard time for all Rangers fans. You can visit the trophy room at the Stadium where you can feel the glory history of the Rangers. The other opportunity you have is to visit the Stadium of Celtic Glasgow the big rival of the Rangers. The amazing Celtic Park with a volume of 60,355 seats is definitely worth a visit. It was the favoured stadium in the United Kingdom in 2003. Celtic has dominated together with the Rangers now for more than 100 years the Scottish Football. The atmosphere in both Stadiums is really amazing and you really have to visit at least one of these attractions during your visit of Glasgow.
Sport in Glasgow offers much more than only football. One example of this diversity are the Glasgow Tigers. The Speedway team in Glasgow. Motorcycle Speedway is a part of motorcycle sport where four up to six riders compete on 4 rounds at an oval course. The motorcycles have no brackets and only one gear. It is a very amazing spectacle to see how these guys drive at about 70 mph without any brackets on a dirt route. The Glasgow Tigers are a part of the British Premiere League and race at Saracen Park. It is not a very popular sport in Europe but an amazing experience for everyone who was ever at a race.
For a great opportunity to recover Glasgow, let us talk about our different Scotland tours.

About Mellish's Reading & Writing
Books I recommend to friends. - Thomas Pynchon's 'Bleeding Edge.' I enjoyed this more than any of his other works, probably because it's so funny, though Gravity's Rainbow is his masterpiece. - Sergio De La Pava, 'A Naked Singularity.' Words fail me how good this is. - Bruce Sterling: 'Distractions', 'Holy Fire' and 'Heavy Weather' are all excellent. I know he's world famous, but I still think he's underrated. - Ben Okri's 'The Famished Road' is superb and deserved the Booker Prize it won. - Iris Murdoch's 'The Sea, The Sea' is magnificent. - Hillary Mantell's 'Wolf Hall' is fantastic. - W.G. Sebald's 'The RIngs of Saturn' (not at all sci-fi) is so mind-bogglingly good it is guaranteed to make you weep with envy. - Philip K Dick's 'A Scanner Darkly' is exceptional. - John Barth's 'The Sot-Weed Factor' is the funniest work of genius I've ever read. - Flann O'Brien. 'The Dalkey Archive' and 'The Third Policeman' are wonderful. 'At Swim-Two-Birds' is beautiful.

Our summer Thursday night parties continue and tonight we welcome two respected label showcases for Aufnahme + Wiedergabe as well as Sonic Groove Records. Mathis Mootz aka The Panacea is a prolific German electronic musician and DJ. Under the name Panacea, he released a string of dark drum and bass singles 1996, followed by the LPs Low Profile Darkness in 1997 and Twisted Designz in 1998. Working and collaborating tirelessly throughout the 90s and 00s, releasing on top labels such as Milles Plateaux, Ant-Zen and more. In 2005, Mootz revived the Force Inc. label, changing his name to The Panacea. He has since returned to somewhat darker sounds, releasing a number of singles on Position Chrome, as well as UK labels Outbreak and Offkey Records, the latter run by UK producer Raiden and specializing in Techno-DNB. British born, Vienna based producer Mahk Rumbae aka Codex Empire has been creating challenging experimental electronic music for 25 years as one half of industrial/experimental band Konstruktivists as well as solo and side-projects. His most recent release on Sacred Court is the "Precipice" EP from last December. The history of Adam X dates back to 1990 in New York City, where he teamed up with his brother Frankie Bones in running the first all-techno record shop in America 'Groove Records (later named Sonic Groove Records)' with DJ Heather Heart joining ownership shortly after. Throughout the 90s and into the first half of the millennium, the Sonic Groove retail outlet was one of the top techno record retailers for DJs & vinyl collectors across the world. Now one of the longest techno labels running, Sonic Groove refuses to push the sounds of the past, instead preferring to define the sound of the future. Known in contemporary times globally for his pioneering working in crossing the parallel of techno and industrial music, Adam X is also behind the production of the well known deep sci-fi techno project "Traversable Wormhole" on CLR. aufnahme + wiedergabe was established in 2011 by Philipp Strobel and Gabriel Brero in Berlin, Germany. Philipp Strobel is also co-founder of Endorcism and DEATH # DISCO, Berlin-based institutions in the modern era of industrial musc and EBM. [a + w] recently rose to notice in Berlin clubs on the strength of releases by artists like Phase Fatale, BLUSH_RESPONSE, Ancient Methods, SΛRIN, and others, but the label has a strong catalogue going back to 2011 that evidences Strobel's unflinching dedication to the continued pursuit of all things dark, hard and mysterious in modern music. The push out of the industrial niche towards techno dancefloors came at the time when many artists were exploring similar crossovers, but [a + w] has stayed true to its roots even as its roster continues to evolve. Exactly one year after his last gig in our home, we welcome Philipp back to the decks.
