Which Glaswegian are we talking about the stylish, the designer the trendy, the artist, the Govanites, the westenders, the southsiders, the yuppies, the neds, the eastenders, the musicians, the actors, the educated, the non-eduacated, middle, working upper class? The Indian, Chinese, Polish, African, German. the glaswegian does not conform to the stereotype once applied.
Glasgow is an amazing city to live in and visit, yes there are problems but show me a city where there isn't. Over the years Glasgow has re-moulded itself in to a stylish, european city, It has regenerated it's passed and is concentrating on moving the city forwards. It's a great city and one worth a visit.

hi there i'm from scotland. iv'e lived in different english towns and been made most welcome , i would think it's who you are as a person not where you're from, but scotland is known for it's warmth towards people from all over the world. scotlands beauty is tremendous too. the ayshire coast right down to drumfries and galloway is breath taking. the ayrshire poeple are incredibly freindly, a lot of english live here in girvan (i moved here from glasgow ) including my next door neighbour, and they love the people here!! about an hour and a half away from glasgow is Inverary, absolutely stunning scenery, and then there is edinburgh which is just something else again and after all Sean Connery came from here!!. The GHOST tours are fantastic!! I would say it's not quite as bad as it's painted and isn't there a bad element around no matter WHERE you come from?? visit. You can't judge a thing until you've experienced it. visit scotland and see for yourself!! bye for now.

I originally come from the north of Scotland and absolutely love Glasgow. The people are friendly - bit noisy sometimes. Not all of them are drink swilling neds (although there are a few). Easy seen most of the answers come from the English who seem to think they are the greatest things since slices bread and cant seem to get over the fact the won the World Cup once.

i'm from nearby, but I moved across to Edinburgh, and love it here. Shriek! Kill me now! So anyway...
I think Glasgow sees the world as divided into Glasgow, and everywhere else. I think the football/religion stuff is a scourge. But those are the only bad bits I'd care to mention. The rest is good. Taken right, it can be an energetic and inspiring place. For example, when was the last time you heard of a home-grown Edinburgh band being a huge success? Me neither.

I'm English and I haven't got anything against you guys at all. Never been but I've heard that Edingburgh's beautiful, as is the rest of the country for that matter, and I'd love to go. You've also got a tremendous cultural, scientific and intellectual history to be proud of. Glasgow's got a bad rep but I've never been there so what would I know?

My mom is Glaswegian and my whole fam is from Scotland. I love the Scots!!!!!! I love how friendly they always have been. The English have always come across a little snooty every time I have been there. I can't ever wait for the train ride up north to get to Scotland.

Love Scotland, love the Scots...Stayed in Glasgow for some hours only, and I thought it was great. The Scots are so friendly and warm, unlike their alcoholic and pretentious neighbours.
GO SCOTLAND!!!
