    I'm feeling a bit left out with all the claiming going on.

    So, I'm claiming Burns.


    You get two bits of fish here, too :p
    :D Well, there is one thing no-one can claim, and that is Glasgow is the most friendliest city on the planet. :j :j

    I've corrected that spelling mistake.....;)
    Apparently, if you lose one sense, others senses are enhanced. That's why those who have no sense of humour have an enlarged sense of self-importance.

    Hmmm, depends..... I live next door (ish) to the place he wrote "To a mouse", so he may well be mine - but I'm happy to share!

    I don't actually live where he was born, just claiming him for Ayrshire in general :D

    Burns wanted to meet the person (or one of his successors anyway) for whom my town is named, so really when you think about it, he wanted to be more mine than yours :)

    :p

    You may walk and you may run
    You leave your footprints all around the sun
    And every time the storm and the soul wars come
    You just keep on walking

    You'll love Scotland, I might be wrong but I thought you were from Liverpool, if you move to Glasgow , Glaswegians love Scousers

    My sis lives in Knightswood in a lovely area not far from Clydebank, my OH lives in the South side .....I'm near Stilrling bout 40 mins north of Glasgow (tho TBH I wouldnt want to have to do that drive evry morning and evening)

    Glasgow is a really beautiful city, I particularly love the view at night from the Kingaton Bridge

    Juat a coupla weeks ago we walked from Glasgow Green to the SECC right along the Clyde,

    Glasgow also has got some very beautiful parks.....Pollok, Bellahouston and Victoria Park, there are others but those are the ones Im familiar with

    Shopping is fantastic, I like Glasgow Fort, cos its easy for me to get to but if you've got loadsa money Glasgow City Centre is the place to go

    Like all cities, it has good points and bad points I dont think you'll be disappointed though, come up and have a wee looksee and at this time of year Scotland is at its most beautiful


    Tho its blioody freezin tnite, I had to put my heating on:eek::rotfl:

    I can second that, (not being biased) there are lots of places to go to like The Art Galleries, Pollok House, Provands Lordship, and of course the second best shopping area in Britain.
