Here's 15 reasons why Glasgow is the best city in Britain not only for Glaswegians, but for tourists, workers, and just about anyone
We all know Glasgow is the greatest city in the United Kingdom - but today we wanted to put together this to prove just why Glasgow is the best city in Britain.
Many people argue that Glasgow should be the capital of Scotland - today we're arguing that Glasgow should be the capital city of Britain, perhaps Europe, or the world even! (Maybe not that far).
As much as we love Glasgow - we as Glaswegians love to moan about it - so much so that it's easy to forget what we love so much about it in the first place.
You are likely to get a much warmer welcome in Glasgow than any other city in the UK we'd argue. Many of us will remember of course Glasgow as a cultural hub, dating back to the days when we were the first British city to be named as European City of Culture in 1990.

5. Sir Billy Connolly
Edinburgh may have Sean Connery, Dundee may claim James Cosmo, and of course Aberdeen have um... Anyway, Glaswegian icon Billy Connolly is beloved by Scots the world over - bringing much much laughter and joy to generations of folks. The man is a living embodiment of the Glasgow patter, and proves that Glasgow produces some of the best people Britain have ever seen. Photo: Tristan Fewings/ Getty
6. Incredible historic music venues
From the Barrowlands to King Tuts and everywhere in between, Glasgow is home to a huge range of incredible venues that have played to host to some of the biggest artists Britain has ever produced. From the very beginnings of artists like Oasis, Sam Fender, and Lewis Capaldi - to hosting international artists like David Bowie and Elton John - Glasgow has the best venues in Scotland, hands down.

7. The best museums
While London may have massive international museums like the Tate - can they compete with the charm oozed from spaces like Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum, the People's Palace and Winter Gardens, or the Burrell Collection? We think not (although we may be a little biased).
8. Fantastic food and drink
Glasgow's food and drink scene is out of this world - not only is it recognised often in the prestigious Michelin Guide - but it is also incredibly cross-cultural. You can get an authentic Scottish meal just as easily as you can grab a aromatic Indian curry, a tasty Vietnamese Pho, or a moreish West African Jollof Rice. Photo: The Gannet
