Romeo Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Like the title says, Glasgow should be the capital of Scotland. Lets face it, Edinburgh is a shit hole that consists of one street with some old buildings on it surrounded by slums. Glasgow on the other hand is a vibrant city, full of character. It's bigger, better in almost every way. The financial power house that keeps Scotland going, It's more populous and has better more successful football teams than our east coast junkie neighbours. Any right thinking, non scheme goblin, non puddle drinking person would agree. What so the fabulous P&B posters think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

energyzone Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Glasgow is a toilet. Edinburgh is aesthetically pleasing, however is too full of students and gimps. It would have to be Greenock or Dundee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addie Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Scotland deserves a capital with history, culture and beautiful people which is equidistant from the most populous areas. Scotland I nominate a Cathedral City that is worthy of that title: It has a beautiful heritage centre. Cultured tae f**k! You won't get The Scheme being filmed here. Oh no. The Cooncil put see tae that. Auld Reekie can stick their castle up their arse - Motherwell's finest. It's even got a fucking Wetherspoons. What's no tae like? That's right folks - I nominate Motherwell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
throbber Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I am from the west coast but reside in Edinburgh and i still feel more at home speaking to folk from Glasgow as i do in Edinburgh. Romeo's thoughts on Edinburgh resembles a lot of guys i have met at work over the past few months and its quite funny and mostly banter. When it comes down to it theres no reason to make Glasgow the capital as Edinburgh already has the houses of parliament and has the capital city feel to it, both are fine cities that we as Scots should be proud of.

Adam Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Glasgow is by far the best city in Scotland. It's like comparing Real Madrid to Accrington Stanley really, with Stanley being anywhere else in Scotland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Adam clearly knows the score. Throbz, nothing pains me more than a Glasgow boy ending up in the shit hole. Come home Throbz, come home. Well i only had spells in Glasgow, last lived there when i was 21 but loved the night life there especially. Now that i live here I'm more settled and appreciate other things about the city that i never really cared about when in Glasgow and have grown fond of Edinburgh despite having the same feeling towards it you have. The people in general aren't as friendly or quirky which I feel nostalgic about when I go to Glasgow as i feel a lot of people don't get my obvious humour but i do feel happy here and quite settled. Might end up in Glasgow in a few years, you never know although Mrs Throbber thinks its a shit hole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Was it not Scone? Did the capital not used to be Dunfermline? During the years before it acquired / merged with the areas south of the Clyde-Forth (Kingdom of Strathclyde etc) and various isles, yes, although use of the word 'capital' as we think of it is rather strong and couldn't really be applied to anything back then. Scone was essentially nothing more than a ceremonial site, but the closest thing to any centre of national importance. Malcolm Canmore set up shop in Dunfermline which (with the building of the abbey etc) became and pretty much remained the royal seat until the Stuarts moved to safer surroundings in Edinburgh Castle / fcuked off down to London and lost interest. Basically, Scone was only ever the 'capital' of a fraction of Scotland as we know it today, Dunfermline gradually much more so. Going into the proper ins and outs of the Kingdom of Scotland / Kingdom of Alba etc requires an extended dissertation. Glasgow is by far the best city in Scotland. It's like comparing Real Madrid to Accrington Stanley really, with Stanley being anywhere else in Scotland.There is a Stanley, quite near Scone funnily enough. The recently restored mills would make a rather handy parliament building. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
