Glasgow has excelled at putting on exhibitions and festivals since the very first Empire Exhibition in 1888.

100 years later the city surpassed itself, putting on its world acclaimed Garden Festival.
Built on 100 acres of landfill at the Prince's Dock on the southern bank of the Clyde, it attracted more than four million visitors in the 150 days it was open between April and September 1988.
More than 300,000 plants, shrubs and trees were planted in newly deposited top soil, much of which had been dredged from the river.
The once desolate expanse of the old dock was transformed into a landscape dream of colours and smells surrounding and intertwining the six major themed areas.
It spilled out from the central 'rendezvous' point at the heart of the festival and there was something for all the family to be seen and enjoy.
Many people visited more than once and some even went every day because there was always something new to see or which had been missed on a previous visit.
People strolled along the numerous paths or were transported by the narrowgauge railway, trams or the barge across the dock.
Major attractions included the 240 ft Clydesdale Bank Anniversary Tower and the Coca-Cola Roller ride.
But for many visitors, it was not the displays, rides, restaurant or shops that drew them, but the wonderful atmosphere provided by the people themselves enjoying a great day which for many was simply out of this world.
