Glasgow, with about 650,000 residents, is famous for its culture, architecture, and design. Glasgow's rich and varied history stretches back almost two thousand years. People from Glasgow are known as Glaswegians. In the Victorian era, Glasgow was a major transatlantic trading port and the Clyde was the world's pre-eminent shipbuilding centre, building many revolutionary vessels such as the famous Cunard liners. In recent times, Glasgow has been reborn as a centre of style and vitality and the city is one of the liveliest and most cosmopolitan destinations in Europe. Glasgow weather is typical of Scottish weather with mild but unpredictable summer months and damp winters with infrequent snow falls interspersed with few sunny days. Glasgow is one of Europe's top 20 financial centres and is home to many of Scotland's leading businesses, forming an important part of the British economy. Glasgow is at the hub of the metropolitan area of West Central Scotland which has a total population of around 2.3 million, nearly half of Scotland's total population. Financial and business services, communications, biosciences, creative industries, healthcare, retail and tourism dominate Glasgow's economy. Glasgow has the most extensive urban rail network in the United Kingdom outside of London, with rail services travelling to a large part of the West of Scotland.
