About Glasgow
Glasgow is Scotland's biggest city and grittier than Edinburgh — working-class roots, incredible music scene, street art, and friendliest locals in the UK. The accent is thick, the pubs are loud, and the city has a chip on its shoulder about being overlooked for Edinburgh. If Edinburgh is the postcard, Glasgow is the party.
