Is Edinburgh or Glasgow better?
Glasgow is far bigger that Edinburgh and not as “touristy”. It’s got great shopping and loads of pubs/clubs. It’s well known for it’s architecture and it’s (free) museums and galleries. Edinburgh is the capital city of Scotland and has a snaller, more compact city centre.
