Glasgow has made a major mark on world history, driven innovation, industry and culture from the city and exported talented people who made their mark all over the world.
People make Glasgow - that’s true as any slogan can be, that’s why today we wanted to celebrate some of the greatest Glaswegians ever.
Take a look below at 16 of the most influential Glaswegians of all time.
13. Benny Lynch
Scottish flyweight boxing champion Benjamin Lynch (1913-1946). Born in Glasgow, he joined an amateur boxing club called the LMS Rovers and was spotted at a boxing saloon in the Gorbals by manager Samuel Wilson. After a series of contests, he beat contender Jackie Brown in Manchester in September 1935 to become Scotland’s first world boxing champion. | Getty Images
14. Sir William Burrell
Sir William Burrell was one of the world's great art collectors. He and his wife Constance, Lady Burrell, created a collection of over 8,000 artworks which they gave to their home city in 1944, in what has been described as 'one of the greatest gifts ever made to any city in the world'. | Burrell Collection
15. Alexander Reid
Alexander Reid was a close-friend of Vincent Van Gogh and one of the most influential art dealers to come out of Glasgow - if it wasn't for Reid's early support, it's possible that Van Gogh may have never came to the world's attention. | Kelvingrove Art Gallery and Museum
16. Deborah Kerr
Born in a maternity hospital in the west end of Glasgow, Deborah Kerr moved to Hollywood in the 1940s and became one of the most celebrated actresses. She was nominated six times for Academy Awards - for ‘Edward, My Son’, ‘From Here to Eternity’, ‘The King and I’, ‘Heaven Knows Mr. Allison’, ‘Separate Tables, and ‘The Sundowners’. | FilmPublicityArchive/United Arch
