Glasgow is located in a western-central region of Scotland known as Lanarkshire. The city was built around the River Clyde, a saltwater inlet from the Atlantic Ocean that flows south into the Firth Of Clyde.
Since the arrival of St. Kentigern in 550CE Glasgow has evolved from an ancient religious community into a thriving contemporary metropolis that contributes to industries ranging from film and television to financial and business services.
With such corporate diversity and aesthetic beauty, Glasgow is a great place to host your next team-building retreat. Consider taking your employees on a guided tour through the city or perhaps a high-speed powerboat through upon the River Clyde. There’s also a great range of indoor activities such as paint-your-own pottery, rage rooms, axe throwing and more.
