Abstract
This chapter looks at the image of Glasgow via the late-Georgian, or Romantic-era, infatuation with literary and military figures. Building on the seminal work of Nicola Watson (Literary Tourism) and Graham Dawson (Soldier Heroes), Glasgow is shown to have fashioned itself as a centre of the British Empire.
