The name Glasgow was originally the Gaelic "Gleas chu", which means "dear green place". It wasn't always an industrial and commercial centre and many centuries ago it was but a village.
It was green because of its wet climate. That's why the cotton industry started in the west, the damp climate kept the cotton from drying out!
