People Make Glasgow. It’s kind of our motto - and it might seem like a bit of cringe-worthy marketing, but it’s true.
Whether you’re a new arrival who’s only recently moved to the city, a life-long Glaswegian still living here, or a Glasgow wean living somewhere far from home: you know that this is your city.
In the interests of finding out the people and places that Glasgow folk call to mind when imagining the city, we asked the question and we got a massive response - over 1,000 of you shared your own personal reflections on the city.
Thank you to all who took the time to share their experiences, memories, and anecdotes.
We got some amazing responses, but we managed to whittle it down to the 19 most popular answers from amongst our readers. So without further ado, here’s what Glaswegians think of when they think of Glasgow.

18. Billy Connolly
The Big Yin needs to introduction, and we shouldn’t have to tell you why he’s on this list. Billy Connolly embodies Glasgow. His humour, his kindness, and his attitude are all as Glaswegian as they come. | Photo by Tim Whitby/Getty Images for BFI
19. Finnieston Crane
The Finnieston Crane is the lasting legacy of Glasgow’s shipbuilding trade - and has remained a steadfast part of Glasgow’s skyline for years. It reminds us of Glasgow, and the people who made Glasgow: us. Picture: John Devlin | The bridges of the River Clyde and the Finnieston Crane, Glasgow. Picture: John Devlin
