Thanks very much for the info x

Welshy,

It depends where you will be accommodated.

Edinburgh itself is a fantastic city, millions to do with a gigantic public transport system.

If I had to choose between Edinburgh and Glasgow for a night out, it would be Embra every time!

I love that place! Given the chance, I'd move there like a shot!

Thanks ladies, if we go itt will defo be Edinburgh & not Glasgow so thats a good thing....

Watch it! Have you ever been to Glasgow? One of the best things about Edin/Glas is that it's dead easy to get between the two, even late at night (good old ScotRail, how I miss you) so you can go to a gig in one city and still get back to the other the same night. The shopping in Glasgow is much better as well.

Get yourself to Fife as well, there are some lovely places there (St Andrews, Anstruther, Pittenweem etc). Have a look at www.visitscotland.com for ideas for stuff to do.


I'm homesick now

Thanks so much for the info...we made the decision & we are takng the post...can't wait to get out of Andover now. :wink:

Nothing wrong with Glasgow!

Growing up you think Scotland a big massive country, when in reality you can drive all over in a day!

Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dundee Fort William, it's all the same, you'll find you'll love and hate loads about each town, city or village you go to.

But DO go to them all, they're certainly worth the visit!

Yes will be visiting all the above, Thanks for the info.

Just waiting for our address now. We move on the 17th June so it's getting closer!!

Just gor our address for our MQ in Edinburgh & pretty impressed. We've been given one of the PFI's on Dreghorn Drive & when we looked on Google Street Maps they look really nice.
