Welcome to Glasgow, virginia

You will find us nestled in the mountains

Glasgow, Virginia, is nestled between the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, bounded by the James and Maury Rivers in Rockbridge County. Early settlers, filled with dreams and hopes, arrived in this land of promise as early as the 1730s. Today, Glasgow is a wonderful small town that offers natural beauty, outdoor activities, and a welcoming community.

Glasgow is a short drive to Natural Bridge State Park and approximately 20 minutes from historic downtown Lexington, Virginia. It spans 1.5 square miles, with roughly 1,100 residents calling Glasgow home.
