Last week, I made my way to Scotland and visited two amazing, vibrant cities: Edinburgh and Glasgow! Before I show you some pictures, let me give you some interesting information about Edinburgh and Glasgow.
Edinburgh, (where the "burgh" is always pronounced as "burra") is a city filled with historic, literary and intellectual associations. Some familiar names from this city include pioneer economist ADAM SMITH, philosopher David Hume, inventor Alexander Graham Bell, and poet Robert Burns. The city dons a historical feeling, with the cobbled alleys and "closes", and elegant streetscapes.
Glasgow, on the other hand, is a much modern city with plentiful art galleries, music halls, shopping malls and stylish bars. Although Glasgow is a short distance away from Edinburgh, the contrast between the two cities is noticeable. It doesn't offer a fairy tale setting such as Edinburgh, but compensates with a big, metropolitan city.
