D.A.F.C Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Meadowbank stadium, a castle, a half finished monument, silly students showing off in the summer, pointless trams and everyone going to posh schools what else do you need? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dorlomin Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 London at 5? There are a lot of positives and a hell of a lot of negatives to London. But beauty? They skyline has been ruined by rubbish like the Walkie Talkie and the Cheese Grater, while the older buildings are too dispersed to be really beautiful. A mixture of the Luftwaffe, the 60s burtalists and the 2000s starchitects make it an aesthetic bomb site. Purely on looks Edinburgh is a very distinct city, the rock and the castle give it a world class silhouette and all that Georgian architecture make it the kind of place these lists cream themselves over (Bath is another good example). But on those kind of grounds Cape Town and Sydney pisses all over it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sloop John B Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Are there many cities that the residential areas this nice? it may be filled to the brim with posh c***s but New Town and Stockbridge are lovely to look at. Even Leith has got it's act together. Not to mention, the view from Blackford hill is just glorious. Edinburgh is superb at hiding away the shitheaps to the side unlike Glasgow.

banana Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Edinburgh is an absolute fucking toilet. Over the years I've shared certain classic threads with folk born and living beyond these borders and islands, they always go down well. Every now and again it's posts like this that remind me how awesome P&B is. Succinct, outright self-national-depreciating trolling hyperboled without apology, wee swearie included. Top class.

Hedgecutter Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 London at 5? There are a lot of positives and a hell of a lot of negatives to London. But beauty? They skyline has been ruined by rubbish like the Walkie Talkie and the Cheese Grater, while the older buildings are too dispersed to be really beautiful. I've always thought that the one thing which London lacks is a characteristic skyline which most other notable cities have. Although theres plenty of notable buildings whether it's St Paul's, Westminster or the Gherkin, they're just too spread out to have a decent effect. Edinburgh on the other hand has a decent, historic one with the castle, St Giles, the Walter Scott memorial etc all a stone throw from one another. Edinburgh is superb at hiding away the shitheaps to the side unlike Glasgow. Elitism makes nicer looking cities. This. Plane, train or automobile, you're travelling through somewhere rather nice to reach the centre. The only people who need to go through any toilet zone are the people who live there. Also, is this not part of the reason that Trainspotting was such a success in the way that visitors saw it as some sort of utopia before being hit with harsh reality? Certainly wouldn't have had the same effect in Glasgow given the opppsite 'not surprised' perception. a half finished monument These are big business. Oban lives off of one.

Boostin' Kev Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Edinburgh is pretty unique certainly for the UK in that the closest visitors will come to seeing the underbelly is beggars on Princes St. Possibly a few characters toward Foot of the Walk if they decide to walk to the Shore but theyll have no real reason to find themselves in the shittier parts of west, north and south of the city.
