Panning across the city, each building has been constructed manually, leading up the Royal Mile to the Castle.

Fine details have even been remembered, with the intricate design of Camera Obscura replicated impressonglmy well.

Taking hours and serious effort to create, the castle walls are clear, with the bare rocks and leafy greenery surrounding it. Even the smaller buildings inside the castle walls are in the game, with the castle itself a pretty close replica.

The video also showed the gamer's start on a construction of Glasgow, with the city centre instantly recognisable.
