Where are you from?
I thought this might be an interesting idea for a thread. Where are you from?
I'm from Glasgow, the UK's third largest city, and home to almost 40% of Scotland's population.
Famous for it's footballing rivalry between Celtic and Rangers, it's sandstone tenement housing, it's immense history of shipbuilding and other heavy industries (once the 'workshop' and 'second city' of the British Empire, producing a quarter of the worlds tonnage in ships), it's Subway (the third oldest in the world) and it's fantastic Victorian architecture.
Edinburgh may be the 'capital' of Scotland, but Scottishness is much more than thousands of shops selling tartan and shortbread and dead castles, and Glasgow has it in droves. It's a city that is making it's way back into the limelight after the dark years, and come 2014, we're hosting the Commonwealth Games, how about that, eh?
