PB 4.2 Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 1 minute ago, Honest_Man#1 said: Love Glasgow. Like Edinburgh for a visit as well, although if you prefer Edinburgh to Scotland’s biggest and best city, then pack up and move to England. Basically a bigger Edinburgh. Why anyone has mentioned any of the other utter irrelevances I have no idea (Dundee ffs). Taking a linear approach to the population census data from circa the 1950s would suggest Edinburgh takes over as the largest population sometime in the next decade or so. Space in Edinburgh is limited to the north and east by water so I doubt it will ever happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerberus Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Edinburgh is basically just Princes Street. Once you've seen that you're done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bairnardo Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Not sure whats more cringey... People arguing about/taking some sort of credit for the place they live, or people from several miles outwith Glasgow trying to get in on the act. Quick check of google maps would indicate I can drive into the centre of Glasgow from Larbert faster than someone from Greenock can. Seems to me like living in a leafy suburb close to the Glasgow/Edinburgh rail line and about 2 minutes drive away from the motorways East and West is about right, since I have easy routes to anywhere I need and more importantly, dont have to stay there. Congratulations Larbert/Stenhousemuir dwellers of P&B. Winners. (Polmont dwellers may also take a bow) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chomp my root Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 I'd be all for an independent Glasgow, save the rest of us funding their giros and healthcare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinkinFighter Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Worked in Edinburgh for a year, quite liked the place. Been working in Glasgow for 3 years and prefer it. The short commute helps I guess. Can't be arsed going through each cities good and bad points. However I reckon Edinburgh would be nicer to live in.

Princes street is possibly the worst part of Edinburgh. Shite shops, no bars and full of fucking arseholes wandering about with their maps and cameras.

Shandon Par Posted February 20, 2018 Share Posted February 20, 2018 Glasgow is comparable to places like Newcastle or Sheffield. Big former industrial towns. Comparing it to Edinburgh is like saying “Who is best; Grado or Floyd Mayweather?”. Each have their respective admirers but they operate in different stratospheres.

I far prefer Edinburgh to Glasgow. Royal Mile, Princess Street, Water of Leith, Stockbridge, the Meadows, Old Leith; all lovely places to stroll around.
