"Strange as it may be, a lot of Scots, particularly those in Glasgow, view Edinburgh as more English than Scottish."

"the hard-drinking, chain-smoking, ship-building Scottishness that has more basis in reality and less in the warblings of Burns."

You seem to define degrees of Scottishness in terms of how working-class it is perceived. This is not a definition that I share, and is in fact one that I find offensive.


"Okay, do your best at speaking in a Glasgow accent"

Which part of Glasgow, Govan or Kelvinside?
