Nov 21, 2005; Glasgow, SCOTLAND; Glasgow is Scotland's largest city, situated on the River Clyde in the country's west central lowlands. People from Glasgow are called Glaswegians. Glaswegian is also the local dialect. The 19th century population was over 1 million people, peaking at 1.1m people in 1931, however with population decline mainly due to the large scale relocation of people to new towns on the outskirts of the city. The surrounding region of Strathclyde has a population of over 2.6 million, over half of the whole Scottish population. The murder rate in Glasgow is higher than Belfast, double that of London Ð and almost four times the EU average. The Scottish Executive's annual homicide statistics, reveal an alarming surge in murders, particularly knife deaths, which have soared to a 10-year high. Ministers have blamed the country's "booze and blade" culture. The figures show that Glasgow remains the murder capital of Scotland. Picture shows Celtic Cross at The Necropolis graveyard.
