    I'm going to Glasgow next week for work, first time in SCOOTland. What's good?

    I was thinking of going on a tour of Hampden, is there anything else worth doing?

    I wasn't taken with Glasgow at all.

    Went reasonably regularly for work but this was a long time ago. Taxi dropped us off at a Rangers pub once, got out of there very quickly.

    On the other hand I enjoyed Edinburgh hugely.

    Hope this helps.

    Has anyone ever left Glasgow thinking 'what a lovely place'.

    Edinburgh is fantastic, I agree.

    One would hope or expect it has transformed itself from its previous reputation.

    Urban regeneration and all that. Look at Belfast. Once was the time when people just wouldn’t, now it is a very popular weekend destination.

    I know friends who in the past have gone there for various events – football, Pressure @ The Arches – but their TripAdvisor thoughts would not be of use to the ordinary person.

    whats interesting to me, at a certain point the scots kicked all the peasants off the land. back in

    19th c, they really did. They were like, nope, sorry, your way of living is marginal and, by the way, aesthetically unappealing. You're messing up the landscape. That's why Scotland so unspoilt today. Need to do the same in Utah, Arizona imo.
