List of places in Glasgow
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Glasgow is split into several different places, council wards and constituencies for the UK and Scottish parliaments, representing Glasgow, Scotland.
In addition to political boundaries, Glasgow has a variety of geographical boundaries of towns and villages now incorporated into districts of the City of Glasgow during the city's expansion in the 19th and 20th centuries.
