I've lived in both Glasgow and Edinburgh so people are always asking me which one was a better experience. I thought it only right to write this list of the eight biggest differences between two of Scotland's biggest cities.
Glasgow vs Edinburgh is an age-old debate - as old as the cities themselves no doubt.
The old tired idea is that Glasgow is more authentic and raw, whereas Edinburgh is seen as a lot more prim and proper - on a surface level this can be construed as true, but there's so much more to both cities than that.
It's my hope that when some starry-eyed young person with their life ahead of them is considering moving to Scotland, whether it be to work, visit, or study, that they can find this article and decide which city is for them.
That being said, you can always visit both - a train is just 45 minutes and old reliable, the 900 bus, runs regularly all through the night between the two cities.
Take a look below at 8 of the biggest differences between Edinburgh and Glasgow - as described by someone who has lived in both cities.
