I'm loving this saucy Scottish banter. The jury is still out though, which one of the city sucks rear end the most?

I like both cities a lot, actually. Glasgow has its share of immensely ugly architecture but it's a good, vibrant place now. Edinburgh smells of spam and has some good restaurants. Hibs and Hearts are both shite.

Aberdeen's nice I hear, the shimmery city? This lady did a presentation on it and said it had loads of hills with an old town underneath or something (like Gotham or Futurama?) it sounded quite cool to be honest.

The silver city! More often than not it's just the plain old grey city when the mica isn't shining in the radioactive granite. Not sure what she's referring to re: undercity. If she was talking about a city of savage troglodytes, she may have been thinking of Dundee.

Aberdeen is a funny place because it's stuck in the 80s, much like supporters of its football team.

Just stay in the West end and pretend the rest doesn't exist.

Yea Edinburgh wins hands down on looks but I know where I want to be on a night out. Glasgow is friendlier and without the breeze. Though I would still live in Edinburgh. Lets be honest what the 3rd best city in Scotland Dundee, Aberdeen or Inverness? Yea no thanks.(Sorry if you live there)

If I remember correctly Chas she said there were hills and the old city was built at the bottom of the hills whilst the current city is effectively bridging over the gaps between the hills, meaning there's effectively an undercity. She had visual aids to help out mind maybe I'm not explaining very clearly.

It sounded plausible at the time to be honest.

South Ayrshire is sort of like a scum overflow. The fact that it has some mediocre municipal golf courses can't save it from the overwhelming amount of arseholes who would rather support the Old Firm than their local teams.

I've only been there a couple of times. It seems OK. Has a big castle.

There's meant to be a particular cafe that's quite famous with a cellar where you can essentially see a bit of the old city. It sounded charming to be honest.

Its unrelentingly grey and depressing . Every loving building is made of granite. Every one. Locals still give you directions which include "turn left at the big grey building". It's also become really expensive because the oil industry is booming again. The beaches are amazing though, shame its usually -20 and hurricane force winds on them.

Go see the wallace monument and the castle.
