While many landmarks from centuries ago still stand today, Glasgow has changed massively over the last few hundred years. Images taken in the city from around the turn of the 20th century, for example, show recognisable streets and buildings such as George Square and the Glasgow Necropolis that on the surface don't look all that dissimilar to how they do in 2023.
