Envols – names University of Glasgow as one of the eight most beautiful campuses in Europe. (9 July, 2025)

The campus of the University of Glasgow, Scotland

“Nestled on the banks of the River Kelvin, the University of Glasgow is one of the city’s most charming locations. One of the UK’s leading educational establishments, it was founded in 1451 under James II of Scotland.

Its iconic clock tower overlooks lush gardens with the river running through them. The main building houses the Hunterian Museum. It features collections of minerals, fossils and an exhibition devoted to Charles R. Mackintosh, a major figure in Scottish Art Nouveau.”

Glasgow University was originally located in the city’s High Street – the main campus moved to Gilmorehill in Glasgow’s West End in 1870.

New developments at University of Glasgow Campus include the Woolfson Medical Building 2002, The James McCune Learning Hub, Clarice Pears Building and Advanced Research Unit. (More information about campus developments)
