The city's arts scene is world-class, with over 200 arts organisations, including the Scottish Ballet and Scottish Opera.
Surrounding Glasgow is some of the best of Scotland's scenery, from the rolling hills of the Clyde Valley to the beautiful walking country of East Dunbartonshire that borders the south-west Highlands.
