Why Glasgow?

Once a thriving port city, Glasgow is now better known for its cultural and educational prowess. Home to the Scottish Ballet, Scottish Opera, the BBC’s Scottish Symphony Orchestra and Royal Scottish National Orchestra and the National Theatre of Scotland to name but a few institutions, you’ll also find one of the largest reference libraries in Europe - the Mitchell Library.

Shipbuilding is still an important part of the city’s economy, though many of the jobs in the area are now found in the financial, communications, creative, healthcare and biosciences fields. With so many universities in the area, it’s unsurprising that higher education is also a major employer in the area. It is, therefore, a great place to work, and its local amenities and relatively low cost of living make it an attractive place to live, too.

If you live, work or study in Glasgow and need somewhere safe to store your belongings, equipment or business archives, we have four stores in and around the city. Safestore Glasgow North is not far from Alexandra golf course and Safestore Glasgow Central is close to Glasgow Caledonian University; south of the River Clyde you'll find Safestore Southside and Safestore Rutherglen.
