I am a Glasweigan through and through, I was born in the east and now live in the south of the city and did most of my socialising in the west, so I think I know the city very well, and like all major cities it has it good and bad, but the good far outweighs the bad, most of us would welcome you into our city and stop and help if you had aproblem unlike some places where people are so wrapped up in themselves they would just walk on by even if all you wanted was some directions glasweigans are always willing to go out of their way to help others
so dont judge a city by what you hear about it, come and visit and judge it from your own perspective you wont be disappointed

I lived in Glasgow for four years and love the city. I come from a very small village and moving to Glasgow was scary at first but you soon get used to it. Glasgow has loads of great shops, restaurants and bars. Yeah, there are a few nutters but that is just like everywhere else in the world. Maybe you should stop forming opinions from scenes of naff films and live a little more.

Come on...Glasgow is like anywhere else in the world - the roughies have a different time in the day to do their particular business, and in parts far away from tourist areas. Y'know...if people have a need to test the 'hardness' of cities they usually come off worst. Glasgow possesses beauty, like anywhere else -could be you've been watching too much Taggart.
Martina...you're telling lies. My partner is from Belfast, and we've both been to see her mum several times - and she lives just off the Newtownards Road...as a half-breed Catholic I was a wee bit scared in the beginning, but like most other cities, realise they can be heaven if you respect the mores of that particular community.

I have been to Glasgow many times and have found the people to be very friendly and helpful,unfortunately every town/city has their few who bring the others down.

Who cares? Think your hard, go do boxing. I think your taking the p*** and you know Glasgow.
Brigadoon is Gene Kelly farting around in a kilt, then the town disappears into the mist.Its one of the worst films about Scotland.Thats nothing to do with it.Thats the tourist shortbread tin image.
Glasgow is a bright fun city, lovely place just a few rough places like anywhere else.Its fun, and its multicultural.

Glasgow is exactly like Brigadoon, come and visit us, you'll love it. Oh, and anytime you see Celtic fans greet them with FTP. They'll know what you mean. If you meet Rangers fans stick two fingers up to them. That's a great way to get to know the locals.

i'm English and stay in London. I even have in simple terms come lower back after spending 3 days in Glasgow. My first ever holiday there. i grew to become into dissatisfied that there grew to become into no longer something on at any of the theatres or on the stay overall performance hall. yet I enjoyed the paintings galleries and the museums. i presumed they have been marvelous. i grew to become into overawed via the quantity of captivating paintings nouveau and paintings deco stuff there is interior the city and it did strike me that it does no longer look favourite via the city. I stumbled time and time lower back on the main spectacular stuff. i got here across an outdated mark downs financial corporation interior the china city portion of the city which grew to become into in a state of deterioration and it grew to become into so unhappy because of the fact it extremely is a captivating development. i got here across it a chuckle that it grew to become into as quickly as the city of way of existence in 1990, because of the fact it has diminished particularly, i assume, on the grounds that then. ordinary i grew to become into very inspired with Glasgow and could unquestionably return. So in a nutshell, i got here across the city, i'm sorry to declare, very grubby, yet with the skill to be magnificent. As for Oliver T, I even have been to Edinburgh, and it extremely is uninteresting, this is pretentious and shallow, it is why I made no attempt to bypass there lower back. Glasgow is populated via amazing people who have been very friendly certainly in the direction of me, regardless of in the event that they did take the mickey out of me for being English.

myself) and I wish you all well. Cheers, Iain Ritchie.
