They are but a short hop from the likes of Greenock and Paisley but the dialect is absolutely nothing like Weegie. A lot in those places seem to be called Ken also. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Am Featha Taigh Nan Clach Posted October 18, 2019 Share Posted October 18, 2019 After i'd graduated and was looking for jobs I was prepared to move anywhere vaguely Central belt-ish. I had a few interviews in Glasgow, Edinburgh and in generic Central belt towns so looked at flats in a variety of areas. What struck me was that rent/house prices were mental in Edinburgh. I knew they'd be a bit more but deary me. What I was getting for a nice flat in Hyndland or even Partick etc would get some dingy bedsit in Gorgie. As a result, I opted for Glasgow. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have loved to have lived in Edinburgh but for the same reason you mention I've totally ruled it out, unless I win the lottery. Aberdeen was pricey for renting but nothing compared to the prices I've seen in Edinburgh. Dundee is good for renting. Strongly considering moving to Glasgow in 2020.

I genuinely don't think there's a better place in Scotland for someone with no children to live. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We moved to Edinburgh in 1999 on the day of the Man U/Bayern European cup final and stayed there for 4 years until we moved to Aberdeenshire for work reasons. I absolutely loved Edinburgh and two of my kids were born there. The problem with moving back is, as you pointed out, house prices. £250,00 will get you a decent 3 bedroom place in Glasgow's south side but will only buy a garret in the New Town. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanCityHibee Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 (edited) Im Edinburgh born and bred , and i lived in Partick for 4 years. I fucking loved every day , had a decent job lived in a nice flat and had a great social circle. Never had any bother through there, some of closest pals are weedgies as is my wife. If , allah forbid, i had to leave Vancouver for back home...id live in Glasgow for sure. Edinburgh is beautiful, Glasgow doesnt come close in that respect. My opinions, dont hate me.

That's enough to draw a border. As mentioned, castlecary arches is a good demarcation point. I like Glasgow a lot fwiw but the hard-on that Glaswegians have for it is something else. Ha, how come Harthill play in the east and Shotts play in the west? Answer me that. Scientific proof...FACT! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a student, in 1973, I shared a flat a few yards from Crosshill Station ( Queens Park Ave ). Thought it was actually rather nice around there. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTJohnboy Posted October 19, 2019 Share Posted October 19, 2019 All the comments on this thread mentioning how friendly Glasgow folk can be reminds me of this one... An Edinburgh couple had to move to Glasgow because of the husband's job and settled in on the top floor of a nice west-end tenement. The Edinburgh lady met and befriended a local gentleman and had taken to "entertaining" him on occasions. During one of these occasions the gentleman suffered a massive heart attack and died. Distraught, the lady consulted her neighbour across the landing for advice. After a few minutes thought the woman neighbour said : "Nae bother, hen", " Just pit a shammy in his haun' and drap him oot the windae" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONKMAN Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 On 15/10/2019 at 15:21, MONKMAN said: Update. In the past few hours I’ve contacted the estate agents to arrange a valuation on my house tomorrow, survey and home report next week so it’ll be on the market in the next week or so. Agent said having sold several in the street behind mine in the past 6 months, it should move pretty quick. Looks like I’ve a busy few months ahead. Last time I lived in Glasgow I stayed at Parade Park, in Dennsitoun. Very convenient place to live and I could smell the Wellpark Brewery on a warm summers day. Another Update Home report signed off and my house goes in the market tomorrow. The other half viewed about 10 flats over Thursday, Friday and Saturday last week and we had an offer accepted yesterday with a provisional moving date of 25th of November. As I went away back to work Thursday afternoon, I've not actually seen any of them in person but I'm sure it'll be fine... Spur of the moment decision last Tuesday to move, It's certainly been one of the most random weeks I can think of. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
