“Glasgow is extraordinary to me. I walk, cycle or sit in the city every day. I like to sit beside the river, dreaming about the Glasgow that was and perhaps the Glasgow that never was. Those imaginary scenarios become the songs.” | AFP via Getty Images
6. Paul Buchanan
"It's difficult to be objective when you're hopefully a part of it. I guess what really clinches it for me is my fellow Glaswegians - they're the glue that keep it together. The architecture is fabulous, the greenery and the art gallery. It's the people, everybody just treats you the same." | The Scotsman
7. Ricky Ross.
Although born in Dundee, Ricky Ross has adopted Glasgow as his home. Speaking to The Scotsman he said: “I think I was destined to come to Glasgow. There's just something about the place which hooks you in. It's something to do with the spirit of the people. I don't think you can understand it until you live here.” Photo: Michael Gillen
