Should I move to Edinburgh or Glasgow?

Hi Taylor,

Scotland is a great country with a lot to offer so I'm sure you'll enjoy living there. As for which city is better, that really depends on your lifestyle and priorities. In short, there's a lot to love about both cities.

Edinburgh is really rich with history and it shows in just about every facet of the city. Many of the flats and houses are decades or even centuries old, and the city's castle is an awe-inspiring landmark that forms an integral part of Edinburgh's distinct skyline. 

On the other hand, Glasgow has a more modern, urban feel (although you'll still spot historical buildings dotted all over the city). Where Edinburgh has a tranquil sort of atmosphere, Glasgow is more lively.

Ultimately it'll be a personal choice as to which city is right for you. For some more things to consider, take a look at our Pros and Cons of Moving to Edinburgh and Pros and Cons of Moving to Glasgow pages.

You say you've got the employment side of things sorted, which is great, but have you considered what visa you'll move over on?
