Hello,

What comes to your mind If you think about scotland? I would Like to Go to Glasgow one day. Is it fun or Not? How are the people there?

I've just been to Edinburgh a couple of times. It's gorgeous, and the people there are too. They seem like a friendly, funny lot. There is that tough exterior stereotype, which I didn't see much in Edinburgh, but it's maybe more apparent in other cities.

I encountered zero anti Fenian bigotry, but I know it's a thing in Scotland. Probably not as bad as the North, but it exists. Easy to avoid those scumbags though.

Very like Finland. Except for the people and the terrain.

Nicer than Finland but harder to understand the accents.

Glasgow is great city for a weekend break. You can get quite cheap Ryanair flights and hotel this time of year. Friday night is the best for nightlife, a lot of people come out early or straight from work. Sunday nights are a bit dead in comparison. The people are very friendly and welcoming for the most part. Edinburgh has some nice history but it was rammed anytime I went there and you would need to book things like the castle in advance. I would prefer Glasgow and it's people more myself.

That's all you need to know about Glasgow.

Great city

Glasgow city centre is beautiful. Just don't venture out from it.

Edinburgh is far better city. Better people.

spent time in both cities. No negative experiences. Was staying with a friend in the Queen’s Park area in Glasgow a few times. Near to a train station and lots of nice restaurants and takeaways nearby as well as a nice park. Easy to get into the city. People were friendly.

Dated a girl from Kirkliston in Edinburgh. Visited and same experience.
