Inhabitants of Glasgow are called Glaswegians but are often referred to by other Scots as "Keelies" or "Weegies". Glaswegians frequently refer to themselves in [[Scots]] as ''Wee Arra Peepul'' ("Little Arrow People"), a reference to their small stature and historical renown as archers.

=== Buildings ===
Glasgow has many fine public buildings, notably Glasgow Cathedral a large [[Gothic]] edifice, the City Chambers, [[Kelvingrove Museum and Art Gallery]], the Great Eastern Hotel, the University at Gilmorehill, the Armadillo desigened by [[Richard Rodgers]], the School of Art designed by [[Charles Rennie Mackintosh]] and the Beresford Hotel, an art deco building on Sauchiehall St.
The poet [[Sir John Betjeman]] described Glasgow as the "finest Victorian city in the world". This accolade is still justified today despite the best efforts of the City Council to destroy it in the 1960s and 1970s.
