Another vote for Glasgow.
Although if you’re a meat-eater, Shabeen is an excellent place for South African-style BBQ.
Sorry @TKC - that was for you.
Brilliant thank you very much!
Sounds good. Ill have a gander thabnks
as much as I love Glasgow, Glaswegians have a tendency to pretend there’s no point in going to Edinburgh. ignore the cunts, it’s a beautiful place.

I don’t think anyone from Glasgow denies Edinburgh’s beauty, that’s not really where the bants rivalry comes from (ALTHOUGH WE’RE BEAUTIFUL TOO FU)
it’s just that… .Glasgow’s better?
Saw the thread title, came here to post this. Damn you for getting here first!

We like to go to the jazz club on Chambers Street. There are some pretty cool places up and down the Royal Mile too. The Storytelling Centre has loads of events on and the People’s History museum makes you feel all red and proud.
I find Edinburgh and Glasgow completely different. Depends what you want to do I guess.
Recommends:
Calton Hill Observatory
Eating at Timberyard
Drinking at Blue Blazer (hanging bat is nice too)
Loads of good museum stuff already mentioned above (surgeon’s hall, national museum, portrait gallery)
Lots of nice places to eat in Leith
Have fun, you up for the Rugby?

Quite like Edinburgh. Mainly visited for the Fringe tbh.
I like Leith a lot: there’s an Antony Gormley sculpture trail thing which you can do to end up in Leith. Afterwards, go for a brunch in The Roseleaf. The King’s Wark is also meant to be very good. I like Teuchters Landing for beer.
There’s a really nice put on Leith Walk called The Joker And The Thief should you ever find yourself there, and nearby there’s also Storries Bakery which has very odd opening hours (like it’s open all night but not in the morning).
I liked going up Arthur’s Seat. It was windy.
I wouldn’t say it was mind blowing only because anyone hearing that may go and end up disappointed, but I have to say, I really, really loved it. One of the best eating experiences I’ve had, certainly in this country. A top 10 dinner.
It is dear, yeah. Thankfully we had a voucher which took the sting out a wee bit. I’d say its worth it though. Definitely worth saving up for a ‘Treat Yo Self’ type night with the thinly veiled.

I was in Edinburgh at the weekend. Was on a stag do so we went go-karting, which was fun but could of done it anywhere.
Ate a lot of Italian food while we were up there for some reason. It was £8.50 for a 3 course lunch on Sunday at one Italian place and really nice.
would quite like to hear you pronounce Teuchters Landing
