Answer 2

Because of the development of tenemental properties, all th Scottish cities are small for their populations when compared to English cities of similar populations.

When we speak of "London" we are really talking about the London conurbation rather than the City of London (which is just a single square mile in area). Prior to 1964, "London" was generally ean the area of the [then] London County Council.

As CITIES, Glasgow is larger than London, both in area and population.

I would hazard a guess that the largest UK city in area is Birmingham.

(On a side issue, surely the Allander is a tributary of the Kelvin, which itself is a tributary of the Clyde, flowing into it near Partick)

Gaelic; or Glesca/Glesga in Scots) is the largest city in Scotland. The City of Glasgow is the most populous unitary authority area. It is situated on the River Clyde in the country's west central lowlands. People from Glasgow are known as Glaswegians; Glaswegian is also the name of the local dialect popularly referredto as the "Glasgow Patter".

Glasgow's importance as an urban centre derived ultimately from the medieval Bishopric of Glasgow and the later establishment of the University of Glasgow, which contributed to the Scottish Enlightenment. From the 18th century the city had become a hub of transatlantic trade with the Americas. With the Industrial Revolution, the city and surrounding region grew to become one of the world's pre-eminent centres of heavy engineering and shipbuilding,[1] constructing many revolutionary and famous vessels. Glasgow was known as the "Second City of the British Empire" in the Victorian era or colloquially referred to as No Mean City (due to the tough attitude of its citizens).[2] Today Glasgow is Scotland's largest and most economically important commerce and retail centre.[3] It is one of Europe's top 16 financial centres and home to many of the country's leading businesses.

In the late 19th and early 20th centuries Glasgow grew to a population of over one million, and was the third city in Europe to exceed this number of inhabitants, after London and Paris.[4] In the 1960s large-scale relocation to new towns in the outskirts of the city, followed by successive boundary changes, have reduced the current population of the City of Glasgow to 578,790[5] although 1,749,154[6] live in the urban area surrounding the city, based on the 2001 census. Around 2,300,000[7] people live in the Greater Glasgow conurbation, defined as the City of Glasgow and the surrounding region.
