The University of Glasgow was founded in 1451, and along with its contemporary institution, the University of St Andrews, it formed the Kingdom of Scotland's equivalent to Oxbridge. One of the country’s ancient universities, the fourth-oldest in the English-speaking world, it’s ranked amongst the top 100 universities of the world. Its main campus is located on Gilmorehill, in the West End and is currently the only university in Scotland with a full range of professional departments in Law, Medicine, Veterinary Medicine and Dentistry. The magnificent Main Building of the University, designed in Gothic style by Sir George Gilbert Scott, is one of the city's best known landmarks and is a joy to walk around. Attractions include the Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, the Macintosh House and the Zoology Museum. Make the most of its visitor centre and book yourself a guided tour of this impressive seat of learning.
