Exploring Glasgow's Unique Areas
Glasgow is made up of many different districts, each with its own history and community. These areas vary a lot in size and how many people live there. For example, areas like Govanhill and Partick are quite busy with lots of people living close together. Other places, like Govan, might feel a bit more spread out.
