During the industrial revolution, this area was one of Europe's greatest powerhouses. Times change, but Glasgow remains one of the most popular European cities: an energetic, dynamic and friendly place filled with museums and art galleries, bars, restaurants and, London apart, the most stylish shopping experience in the UK.
For ancestral researchers, a real treasure exists in the city of Glasgow. The Mitchell Library, opened in 1877, is now the largest public lending library in Europe. Its Archives and Special Collections department has a mass of information of use to researchers. Online access to some archive material is available.
