Still, a little geography never hurt anyone.
It was hard to find a map of Glasgow that wasn't too busy. Here's a fairly good one:
The Clyde River of course runs through the city of Glasgow. It's the third largest river in Scotland and the ninth longest river in the UK and too far down on either of those lists to probably ever come up as a trivia question.
From all of the maps, it looks like Glasgow is mostly on the north side of the river. I know some of the poorer areas (like the Gorbals, which is semi-infamous) are south of the river. Here is a whole website dedicated to educating tourists about sights to see south of the Clyde.
Paddy mentions going to St. Columbkille's Church with her mother. I wasn't familiar with this saint but evidently he's a big deal in Scotland and Ireland. According to an eponymous US church, he is one of the great saints of Ireland and the first missionary to Scotland. His name is Gaelic for "dove of the church."
