 The city of Glasgow has been chosen as 
 the United Kingdom nomination for      
 European City of Culture 1990.         
                                        
 The nomination, announced by the Arts  
 Minister, Mr Richard Luce, is the only 
 one from the European Community and is 
 almost certain to be approved.         
                                        
 Last year's choice was Athens and the  
 current city of culture is Florence.   
                                        
 Festivals and special events in the    
 city could bring in up to £10 million. 
                                        
 Among the other British contenders were
 Cambridge, Cardiff and Edinburgh.
