Glasgow:

1. The transport links are great. Subway & trains are of a decent standard, plus i live near an airport.

2. There's lots do here. 4 shopping centres in Glasgow & the City Centre isn't bad either. Loads of cinemas, 5-a-side places to.

3. Nightlife is decent. The West End is great except for 4 particular days of the football season.

4. There are a lot of decent birds here.

5. There are a lot of nice areas here. Just usually they're surronded by complete shitholes.

Musselburgh:

1. Nice and quiet most of the time.

3. Got a university which is about 75% female. Plenty of nice looking birds stoating about.

4.Got an all night Tesco so good for a munch.

5. Good football pitches, 2 golf courses, decent gym etc.

Haddington

Its where all my mates stay so it's good for socialising in that sense.

We now have outstanding football facilities, amongst the best for anyone town of similar size.

The Railway Hotel.

I know most people here so trouble is minimal and the same birds are always up for it.

It's generally a very nice place and there aren't many better towns so close to the capital.

[the jambo-rocker]

I'd probably say the friends I grew up with, and are friends with now, not to mention the friends on my football team. I guess the best thing about home is the people who make it, and it probably outdoes a fair whack of flaws.

I quite enjoy my local pub, which is a ten minute walk, five if I'm thirsty.

It's cheap for me to live in. Even if it still is with the parents.

Although every place has their share of arseholes, I don't think haddington is that bad for them. But then close around areas like tranent, prestonpans make it look a better place than it is.

I guess I'm glad we have the new 3g pitch in place, even if it is on the other side of town for me. Not a brilliant reason, but I'm really struggling to find a better fifth...

[AberDon]

Aberdeen
'The Tunnels'
Plenty of places to play football
Plenty of jobs.

[mattydfc]

1 - Dundee Football Club.
2 - Most people are sound.
3 - Plenty pubs.
4 - Plenty female talent.
5 - It's fun to point and laugh at all the junkies. You're guaranteed at least 2 on every street.

[Vanquinho.]

1. Hibernian FC
2. A seemingly endless line of tidy uni lassies gagging for it
3. The views from, and of, Arthur's Seat
4. Princes Street Gardens
5. Awesome transport network

[10 CC ICT]

• Inverness
  
• Caledonian
  
• Thistle
  
• Football
  
• Club

[Marsh]

1. Plenty of football pitches and an excellent 5 a side facility

2. Good shopping centre

3. Mates are all within 5 minute drive

4. Train into Glasgow is only half an hour

5. Westwood BB AFC

[HEY_SIDNEY]

1. Plenty of 5s/7s/11/s pitches available

2. Mates live a 2 minute walk from the house

3. Easily accessible to all public travel - car/train/bus.

4. Knowing most people on a night out.

5. Amount of bookies in town centre

[Glen Sannox]

Edinburgh

1. Like the all year round busy city cenre, tourists etc

2. Good location, transport links

3. Bells Diner

4. My local

5. For the most part, it's pretty pleasing on the eye

[Tryfield]

Doon in England:

1- Local pub is 250 yards away. Some cracking banter with the regulars, and we go to the casino for a poker game now and again. Bar stays open til 6am.
2- Train station is 400 yards away.
3- Work is only a 20 minute walk away. (used to be 7-8 minutes on the push bike but somecunt nicked it last week)
4- Vibrant night life, the place is crawling with students so the pubs/clubs have lots of drink promos.
5- Great location for day trips. So far I've been to Whitby, York, Darlington, Yarm, Newcastle, Chesterfield, London, Stockton-on-Tees, Hartlepool, Redcar, Leeds, Harrogate and a few other places. Some heavy boozing sessions involved there. I'll be attending either Leeds v Barnsley, Doncaster v Watford or Peterbrough v Middlesbrough next weekend, never been to a club game down here. Sunderland v Fulham would be too dear I think.

[jmothecat]

Glasgow:

1. There is a nice coffee shop a mere half hour walk away from my flat

2. I like the university

3. There are a couple of bars which seem quite nice (if a little expensive)

4. The Subway system is quite good

5. It is nicer than I expected.

Only been here a couple of months so don't really know it yet. So far so good though.

[Bert Raccoon]

Hamilton

1.) Actually having a local team to support, it wasn't too long ago that it felt like Accies would never return to Hamilton. Even ten years on it still feels good going past and seeing our stadium.
2.) There's a good selection of pubs in Hamilton, from old man boozers to decent places for a feed.
3.) There's quite alot of cool historical buildings in Hamilton like The Mausoleum.
4.) hamilton has a great selection of places to eat and takewaways like Equis and The Bombay cottage.
5.) It's not Larkhall.

[dan_ict]

Aviemore

1. In the winter, I am a mere 10 bus journey away from the best skiing location in Britain.

2. Fantastic Indian takeaway down the road.

3. Not a lot of neds about.

4. Half an hour away from Inverness so i can attend all home games with no bother.

5. Two bob for a pint in the local

[Gogs Grog]

Montrose

1) Pubs - Number of pubs for a small town is pretty impressive
2) Golf Course - Top drawer course and cheap as biscuits
3) Low Crime Generally - Nicked bike usually hits the headlines (Glossing over the murders in the recent past)
4) Location/Transport links - Despite most central belt dwellers probably thinking we're the back of beyond, being on the main train line and near Aberdeen makes transport links home and aboard pretty good. Some of the beaches are fantastic and empty of people (see Lunan Bay)
5) Not Brechin - If you ever feel down about the town, a wee trip to Brechin lifts the old spirits

You can get a tidy as f**k burger in there.

The pancakes are unreal as well, ah the childhood memories.

Dundee:

1. Clark's 24 hour bakery. How many other cities do you know that have a 24 hour bakery? I live 5 mins walk away, and it is perfect for a stop off after a night out. Best chips and cheese I've ever had. The staff are either incredibly friendly or angry as f**k, but I did manage to sweet-talk the wifey into giving me a bit more cheese the other week. Still got it. (Me that is, not the wifey, just to be clear).

2. The west end. The pubs mainly, the uni, the view of the tay, the aforementioned bakery. Will always love this part of the world, and home to my favourite pub, Braes. My friends live directly above it, friendly staff, reasonably priced drink and always a pint of Deuchar's IPA seductively waiting for me when I get there. Magic.

3. Travel links. The busses in the city are unbelievably efficient and well priced too. Strathtay busses every 10 minutes, and the Travel Dundee ones if I want to go north. Centrally located bus and train stations, with bridges over the Tay, routes to Glasgow and Edinburgh via Perth, and to Aberdeen. Not too far from home either so a horrendous journey is avoided.

4. Navigation. It's very difficult to get lost in Dundee. If you're facing up a hill looking at big multi-storey flats - north. If you're looking at the tay down the hill - south, and east and west either side, with big long roads disecting. Not only that but even the furthest away areas (even Broughty Ferry) are walkable.

5. Dundee and Dundee United. It's great for the city to have 2 teams, even in different leagues just now. I do watch Dundee on an occasional basis, and a lot of students I know do also, but don't go to Tannadice for some reason. Might be to do with Dundee FC being the city club, but I can only speculate. Tannadice is 25 minutes walk away if St Mirren are playing (Dens being 24 ), and it's nice to see the majority of Dundonians supporting the two local clubs, unlike Paisley where someone automatically is an old firm supporters until questioned otherwise. Only the inbred mutants crawling about Asda Milton support the shame.

All in all a compact city with mostly friendly inhabitants, with pretty much anything you could ever need. Very happy here and long may it continue.

It's still as good, never changed in the 30 or so years i've been frequenting it.

Coatbridge:

It's close enough to Glasgow and Edinburgh to get to and from gigs with ease, via 6 train stations

The area I live in is relatively quiet and nice, there's never jakies hanging about and seldom is there neds.

The accent isn't horrendous compared to most of the east side of Glasgow. Most words are pronounced correctly...none of this oany (any), nane (none), wa' (wall), corr (car), sterr (stair), herr (hair) shite.

The retail park has a decent amount of shops where I can get most things without having to trail into Glasgow, Tesco is 24h...so is ASDA.

There's a decent amount of things to do; Cinema, Bowling, Football, Various parks, Pubs, Clubs. It's 2 minutes down the road form Strathclyde park for the weans.

If I can have a 6th...it's not Airdrie or Bellshill.
