2. This is a "third conditional" situation: a past situation that did not happen, and the result if the past situation had happened. https://www.ef.com/wwen/english-resources/engli...

Thanks for answering.
One more question.
Suppose "I" travel to Glasgow after the passage is being said.
Is ① also correct?

Even if the travel was going to happen later, it'd still be 2.

Is the reason why you say so that ① still has possibility of "my" traveling to Glasgow?
- Inglese (Stati Uniti)
It's just that it's a third conditional situation. "If you had not told me" is an impossible situation. We already know what happened: the other person told the speaker about the cancellation. So, when talking about this impossible past situation of "did not tell me", we use "would have traveled" to describe the result of that impossible situation.

Then, how about the next sentence?
If I had not broken my leg yesterday,
①I would ski next week.
②I would have skied next week.
I think ② is wrong and that ① is right.
However, should I interpret this sentence as the same pattern?

Yes, even then it's still 2. "would have -ed" is how you talk about results of impossible past actions, no matter when those results would have happened.
If he hadn't been killed by a falling rock, the explorer would've discovered Australia in the year 1500.
If he hadn't died in a car crash in 2020, John would have died in the year 2100.

Thank you very much.
Please let me ask you the last question.
How about the next sentence?
If I had not bought the expensive car last year,
①I would have much money now.
②I would have had much money now.
I think that only ① is right.
Should I also interpret this sentence as the same pattern?
Or does the temporal difference between this sentence(I would ~ "now") and the sentence above(I would ~ "next week") have any influence?

It's still just 2. It's the form of the third conditional. It doesn't matter when the second half of the sentence happens. It's a fixed grammatical form.
