I stayed in Govan for two months in the summer of 2004 and totally fell in love with Glasgow. I ended up living there for 3 years (though not in Govan) and still have much affection for the place. There was something that felt amazing to me that summer about this place - perhaps it was just the first time I ever properly considered living in a place that wasn't home -- but it also had something to do I think with the look/feel/sounds/smells of the city. Coming back this visit, after being away for a year, it's a bit of a jolt that first day back when I walked down into a metro station and feel that whole 2004 feeling again. Though, it's fleeting, and after two days it disappears.
