In this video I am covering life in Glasgow by discussing 4 main areas - geography, quality of life, demographics, and culture and entertainment.
Glaswegian accent, tenements, universities, football, and beer. What is it like to live in Glasgow? This video would give you many insights. Sit back and enjoy!

I'm a Londoner who has lived in Glasgow for the last 4 years. I'm moving to Germany next week. I'm really going to miss it and only have good things to say about the people. Salt of the Earth. There are more polar bears roaming the streets than there are Tories here so you can't go far wrong. There's no need to go to the Edinburgh Festival because Glaswegians are funny all year round and you don't have to pay for it.

That is pretty funny mate. We don't try and be funny mate ,we canny effin help it. I remember my Faither, dock worker, staring oot the window. My wee Ma would be 100 yards away with the messages, groceries they called in England. It would take her 40 minutes to get home. Kept bumping into women and more chat chat. My Da would be raging , Ma would get to house , Father would be raging. But he wasn't it was all a laugh. There is a big saying in Glasgow. "Who Gives A Flying Fu%k?. Peace.

As someone that’s lived their whole life in Glasgow I love your video mate. I’m a big fan of anything remotely documentary like so your quick and easy to digest summary of the city as someone looking from the outside of Glasgow is superb. I think your video is very informative and would be a great help to anyone thinking of moving here as well as giving a great history of our city. I’m proud you chose to live here big man, keep up the good work

I’m an ex-Londoner now living in Argyll and I love Glasgow. My wife and I have just returned from a short City-break there and we had such a great time. We visited the Kelvingrove museum, Glasgow University, The Botanic Gardens, and a multitude of shops and eateries. If you’re visiting for the first time I recommend a bus tour starting in George Square, it really helps you to get your bearings. We even took in the pub where Billy Connolly started his career. As a person born and raised in London I felt very at home in Glasgow, it has the same vibe and young folk everywhere due to the three universities and huge central college. The people are great, the history is fascinating, and the architecture is a real pleasure. We live in a very rural area so Glasgow is our little city fix every now and then.

We love the bus tours too, my dad was a Londoner from Camden Town and he moved to Glasgow when he was 28 to be with my mum who was born in the gorbals, and he always said the people of Glasgow were much more friendly than where he came from, and felt he was more at home here xxx
