We’ve only realised it after posting this video and getting the comments from you all! Otherwise would have thought that is the delicacy in Scotland 😂👌
@@JayandKarolina It's quite a common misconception. I really enjoyed your video, It's nice to see my home city through the eyes of a visitor. A lot of what you pointed out I take for granted. I grew up near Kelvingrove, and we used to play hide and seek in there. 😂😂
@@dannymckinlay8365 Fried crap and takeaways, son. C’mon now, yer a Weegie aren’t ye? Stop with the coy ‘not me, sir!’ When was the last time ye saw a Glaswegian eating a vegetable or an apple?
Im a Chinese who have been lived in Glasgow for 5 years. Although now I have been back in China, but Glasgow is definitely one of my favorite cities, so much good memories were lefted there. The place you guys eat scot pie just beside my old home, I always have fish n chips there. Your video give me a feeling of daja vu, really enjoyed! ❤❤❤
I'm a Glaswegian I love my city and the tourists that visit it We are warm and welcoming 😀 Enjoy the city and attractions: but don't look down look up and you'll be amazed at the architecture
Thanks for making this video. I will be in the UK next month. Going to watch Manchester United and then I’m heading up to Glasgow to experience Scotland. I’ve had friends who went and told me Edinburgh is beautiful but the people they’ve met made Glasgow their favorite city.
Have fun! We’ve actually been to all them cities and honestly would say that Manchester is our favourite city in the UK and so is Glasgow in Scotland! Both them cities are having very impressive architecture, welcoming people and artsy neighbourhoods 🤩👌🎨 But obviously are way different from each other! You’ll see what we mean when you visit them cities yourself!
Make sure you go to Ashton Lane, Byres Road. Six by Nico if you can get a booking and The Ben Nevis bar on. Sunday night if want some live Scottish Folk music .
It's easy to visit Edinburgh and Glasgow on one trip. I'm from Glasgow and my main tip would be to get out of the City centre and head to the west end.
i visited Glasgow for 3 days in May for my birthday. i live in Liverpool and always wanted to do Glasgow. it didn't dissapoint. great time was had in pubs, museums and the subway system is what i really wanted to see as a bit of a train buff. again..didn't disapoint. found Glasgow folk similar to Liverpool people, always on hand for a chat about football or religion ha! same mentality really with Docks and river etc. really loved my visit, don't let anyone put you off Glasgow (or Liverpool) by steryotyped nonsense by southerners normally.
Couldn't agree more Peter! Glasgow has it all, and most importantly, it also has its own unique charm! It delighted us with its amazing architecture, necropolis, street art, as well as its museums and food scene 😍 We're glad you enjoyed it so much, because it certainly wasn't our last time in this city!
If you make it to the West End, in Byres Rd you can find the Oran Mor which is a former church converted into a entertainment venue. The interiors have been decorate by Alistair Gray, painter & author. Turning right & across the road you may find the Botanic Gardens or turning left, a couple of hundred yards down Byres Road, you will find Ashton Lane, a good place for a little refreshment. I hope you enjoy your visit.
The Subway, which dates from 1896 is actually the third-oldest in the world, but the trains are new - having just been introduced earlier this year, replacing trains that have been running since 1980, when the busier stations were also enlarged with one or two side platforms and better entrances. Glasgow also has quite an extensive suburban train network, as well as buses.
Thanks for that Info Paul I think ur the guy that most people hate inviting round for dinner as ur a Mr know it all with boring stories no one wants to hear.
The deep fried Mars bar was invented as a joke for tourists. I grew up in Scotland in the 1950s and 1960s and the first time I ever heard of the thing was about 15 years ago.
The Glasgow subway was constructed in 1896. It is the 3rd oldest subway in the world. It is nicknamed the clockwork orange and has recently been renovated to be brought up to modern standards.
@@WDH59510 An urban myth that originated in Glasgow when people called it that you mean? Maybe the cool kids that you hang about with don't call it the clockwork orange but it has been known as the clockwork orange for a long time. Ask your granny.
The Subway is in fact very old, third oldest in the world after London and Budapest, but is in the middle of a refurb with new trains just introduced this summer.
I was in Glasgow a few years ago and was caught out by the shorter hours for the subway on Sundays - from 10am to 6pm. Easy enough to use when you just choose to go clockwise or anti-clockwise!
I am 48 and Scottish, never have had deep fried mars bar. Don't like fried food much. Only have stuff from the chip shop a few times a year. Why not try our amazing seafood. My grandfather was a farmer so also our lamb, and beef. Lots of protein options and veg.
@@EASTEASTEASTLONDON Edinburgh is very touristy... Glasgow is more the beating heart 💓 both cities slap.. but glasgow for me is the quintessential scottish experience. Id go further tbh and encourage everyone to ignore the cities and go deeper into the towns...villages.... Because all over scotland the best bits are tucked away

I really prefer the caps this way, if you pull them down to the side they "lock" in place allowing you to drink them hassle free, plus you don't need to worry about dropping or losing the caps anymore
I feel exactly the same way! It can be a bit annoying at first, but at least you don't have to hold the cap the whole time while drinking + it also saves the planet :)
The funny thing is that what you said when you arrived in Glasgow is the opposite of reality. It is always about 2 degrees colder in Edinburgh than in Glasgow on the same day.
@@JayandKarolinaGlasgow/west of Scotland and Italy, esp Tuscany have a history of back and forth immigration. The Italians traditionally owned restaurants, ice cream shops, fish & chips, and Italian restaurants. Famous Glasgow Italians are actors Peter Capaldi and Daniela Nardini, musicians, Lewis Capaldi, Paolo Nutini and Nicola Benedetti
Glasgow is definitely more industrial and modern than Edinburgh I've noticed, Edinburgh is more of a historical and heritage center and the people are a bit more reserved, Glaswegians are more interesting and friendly to tourists in my opinion
Edinburgh is certainly the tourist city and yet if you were to trip and fall over in Edinburgh then people would walk over you, but in Glasgow people will make sure you are okay. Also the accent is very different so Edinburgh sounds a bit 'posh' and Glaswegian can sound harsh but Glaswegians are far more sincere and genuine. Also one of the scenes in WWZ was indeed filmed in George Square but did you recognise the Necropolis which they filmed the end scene in 'The Batman (2022)'.
I enjoyed this video. I’ve lived just outside Glasgow all my life (I’m in my 50s), and just to echo other contributors, I’ve never tried deep-fried Mars Bar. I’ve never even seen one, other than on TV or TH-cam. £9 sounds a bit steep for a pie and a Mars Bar, no matter how highly the place is recommended. West End is best for a day out - Byers Road, Finnieston, Ashton Lane, etc, but the Horseshoe Bar near Central Station is something of an institution. I’ve never done it, but I believe you can get a tour of Glasgow Central’s disused underground system. Among other things, I think it was used to bring home fallen soldiers during WWII.
It's a fine city, and similar to places like Liverpool and Belfast, the people and their humour really make it what it is. It was known as the second city of the empire in the 19th century and the city centre is sometimes used as a replica for Manhattan in movies given the size of the buildings an the grid referenced street layout. Karolina's 'Next Video' is great by the way!
Thanks for all them interesting insights! Everything in Glasgow felt like you’ve just described it 😬🙏 And also now it makes so much sense for us that sometimes the shoots for the NYC movies are taken in Glasgow because the streets were huge! Thank you - the outro just happened to be re-occurring one but it’s quite funny I believe 😂 [Karolina]
The main difference from Edinburgh is that its more of an everyday, vibrant working city, which relied on heavy industries to make its way through the industrial revolution. Many a famous ocean liner was built on the Clyde, and shipbuilding continues today. That aside it has a lively arts, music and cultural scene, not to mention the sporting interests. They say people make Glasgow and that's probably correct. Edinburgh is obviously more tourism orientated and to my tastes its feels like a theme park, especially during high season. Glaswegians will always be around to welcome you, whereas you may be hard pressed to find an Edinburgh local in the city centre during festival time. 😅 Enjoy your travels, oh and that's a great chippie by the way.
Edinburgh is more beautiful then Glasgow , Glasgow was really dangerous at one point with gangs and drugs, over the past 40 years they (the council with help of the Government and other parties have tried to improve Glasgow's image. I think it has worked, but I still would not want to live in Glasgow out of choice.
@@michaelhawkins7389Glasgow's razor gang culture was a product of the 1960's and was eradicated long ago. In 1990 Glasgow was declared European City of Culture. It has hosted major global events, most recently the Cop 26 climate conference and Commonwealth Games. For years it's been considered the most visited city in the UK outside London for shopping. It has two universities, a huge international student population, leafy suburbs and affluence. Every city has less well off areas, drug problems etc. Edinburgh is no different in that respect, did you see Trainspotting ? The other thing about choosing to live in Edinburgh is that it being a victim of its own success, you're going to need a lot of money to get anywhere on the property ladder. 🤘🏻
For us, it was amazing to immediately notice the differences between the cities - it's not super easy to define it, but Glasgow definitely seems more "real" because there are fewer tourist distractions and local life is way more visible! However, historically and culturally, both cities made a huge impression on us! And the people welcomed us with open arms too ❤️
@@michaelhawkins7389 you get ripped off in Edinburgh. Better value for money in Glasgow. Glasgow has better museums & nightlife , beats Edinburgh hand down. Glasgow should become our capital.
@@Parker_Douglas Just like London which over priced with it being capital. Edinburgh is expensive. However it is the architecture and the history that I love about Edinburgh , Edinburgh for its beauty has been voted the one of the nicest citys in Europe it is up there with Prague , Paris , Rome. It ranked higher then London. Glasgow looks ugly in parts. but you get that with any city. Glasgow had a really bad reputation in the 1980s, and mid 1990s but I think Glasgow as a city has become safer? I know that Glasgow has had abit of life put into it , to try and bring people into the city. I prefer other Scottish cities to Glasgow but just so you know I do not hate it
Very nice film Thank you. The architecture in Glasgow is amazing even the pubs .Have a look in the Counting House at George Square it's beautiful inside .
Just discovered your channel tonight. Watched the Caledonia Sleeper, Edinburgh and now Glasgow. Next time you're up and going to a chippy, ask for a pizza crunch. Haste ye back
@kathsmith4924 The man with the bird is actually a representation of our city's patron saint... St. Mungo. The bird that never flew.... part of our coat of arms. There's a mural trail taking in many of the gable end/street art works... and it's still growing.
Love watching both of you and how you describe things . Are you heading more northwards in Scotland next like around the islands. Sorry for the fall Jay please take care. When you left your luggage in the shop was that a Air B&B you was staying and coming back later or the shop was just holding your luggage like to know more. Merci
Those bottles with the cap attached are quite good. I’m sure we’ll get used to them. I still find myself searching for the cap for a couple of minutes before remembering it’s attached. 😁
Thanks so much! So glad to hear you like them!!! Our next series starts very soon as we’ve been filming for couple of days now in CHINA! Hope you’ll enjoy watching the vlogs too 😍🎉🇨🇳
I was right beside you yesterday I guess, as we were taking our daughter to Strathclyde University to start her first year. Right opposite the Cathedral
@@JayandKarolina yeah it does have an atmosphere for sure... Its odd ... I've always said i love Glasgow in the fog lol..odd but its true .... I think glasgow has a mood about it...but never feels off...
I don't know if you already know this.......... Scotland is the only country in the world where Coke isn't the best selling soft drink. It's in second place behind Irn-bru.
@@heatherdundas6200 Nope, I'm afraid you're wrong. The sales figures that indicate that are based on sales by cans only. With the combined cans and bottles, Irn Bru does indeed outsell Coca Cola.
Oh, and Glasgow will look more modern because it was bombed heavily in WW2 because of its ship building industry. On the river walk you would have passed the only remaining heavy crane. My girlfriend zip lined across the river from it, for charity. I watched her...nutter! One love from Glasgow. 💙
Edinburgh is beautiful but its quite removed...glasgow is technically the beating heart of scotland...❤ To experience scotland tho you must delve deeper.. so many stunning towns.. coastal villages .. go oot and explore..eat food ❤
the Glasgow subway is the opposite of being relatively new... hihihi "Opened on 14 December 1896, it is the third-oldest underground rail transit system in the world after the London Underground and the Budapest Metro."
Please visit the rest of Scotland!! It can be very difficult to actually know it if all you know are the 2 cities! I love them, I live in Glasgow, but people here think that there is nothing beyond the Central Belt!! Dundee and Aberdeen are cities with completely different vibes, and there are so many wee towns and villages with character. Callendar, Edzell, Millport, my home town Arbroath ❤ See them all ❤
My Gran and other members of my family are buried in that graveyard ,great video a bit been up there in a while Glasgow that is ,weather's not changed then!
It's only the train cars that are new in the Glasgow Subway (they were upgraded this year). The subway system itself opened on 14 December 1896, making it the third-oldest underground rail transit system in the world after the London Underground and the Budapest Metro. That's why it's so small compared to modern underground systems!
You’re right to point out the new subway trains however you’re wrong about it being newly constructed. It’s one oldest subway systems in the entire world believe it or not. This might sound a little sad but I’ve lived in Glasgow for the best part of 50 years and I still love going on the underground. When I was a kid it was the most exciting thing in the world 🤗
those latest new bottle tops that are "attached to recycle" or so very annoying! The first time I experienced this I thought I had a faulty bottle. There was nothing to say it was attached for rycycling issues, and I really disliked it and still do. everyone I spoke to also dislikes them too.
Believe or not, been in Glasgow a few times since it is now my 2nd home, I never eaten a fried Mars ba and a Scottish pier since I'm not a fan of Mars bar and I only do chicken pie :) I love the grey weather in Glasgow. Both Edinburgh and Glasgow have their charm and uniqueness. Our place is in West End which is like a 10ish mins walk to the Botanic garden and people are generally more friendly in Glasgow too though I find no difference.
We couldn’t agree more - the atmosphere and people in Scotland are just great! You are so lucky to live somewhere nearby ❤️ As you perfectly know, we are the foodie types so we feel the need to always try what locals would do! But apparently people in the comments say that the deep fried mars bar is a tourist trap 🫣🍫
@@JayandKarolina is one of the best residential areas in glasgow and safe too. I'm not the person to go for viral food as most are overrated. Anyhow, you guys are in China now? Enjoy and have fun. Perhaps see you both in Singapore 🇸🇬 :)
Deep-fried Mars bar, no Glaswegians eat that, I am from England originally here for 20 years now, I have seen changes, fish and chips and pies are good, a good haggis but not from a chip shop for that one..
They thought about filming some Hogwarts scenes at UGlasgow, but the schedule interferes with exams. Weirdly, some people still talk about it as if it happened.
Great video.... but not the deep fried Mars Bar 😂 We don't actually eat those! The subway is actually the 3rd oldest in the world, behind London and Budapest, it's been modernised over the last 10 - 15 years, and the trains are only a few months old.
Thanks for sharing! We were so shocked when realised that actually they brought back that subway to life 🚇 It’s such a great idea! We genuinely thought that a deep fried mars bar is something every Scottish person would enjoy a lot haha
The only citys ive ever been to is my local city Brighton and Hove) then southampton and London but i really want to explore other citys in uk i am going to try visit glasgow Edinburgh Leeds and Manchester one day. I got family who live in Yorkshire so hopefully i can visit the citys and towns in Northern england this year or next.
Do you know what edgy means here in Glasgow? It’s the word called out by someone who’s being the lookout for others who are up to no good when the cops turn up. I’m sure everyone else around the world probably shouts someone’s coming. Glaswegian shout edgy. A little bit of useless information for you to take away with you…🤷🏻♂️🏴
The caps attached to the irn bru is stupid imo because when you finish a bottle you automatically screw the cap back on and then recycle it.... It's just treating people like they're idiots to be honest.
It was quite pricey but apparently this place is on top of the list for fish & chips in Glasgow! And because it’s Italian-influenced, it’s something unique I guess 😬👍
We were thinking of visiting Aberdeen indeed because we've heard so many great things? Any suggestions of what not to miss when we go there Mark? Let us know 😍
You've made us want to do that now Ben haha 😂 But we'll have to wait a bit for such pleasures because we've just started filming more vlogs in CHINA!!!
the attached lid is annoying, its solving a problem that never a problem everyone recycles the bottle and lid already but its treating everyone like toddlers who cant be trusted but also making it harder to close the bottle properly had a two litre bottle of cola leek into my fridge because the lid was on at an angle so it wasn't sealed
@@JayandKarolinaGlasgow is like 4 towns + 1 city centre e.g. West end(Glasgow Uni/Kelvingrove),East End (Merchant City/Barras),Southside(Shawlands/Queens Park),North (Port Dundas/Maryhill)!

Edinburgh is more beautiful then Glasgow , Glasgow was really dangerous at one point with gangs and drugs, over the past 40 years they (the council with help of the Government and other parties have tried to improve Glasgow's image. I think it has worked, but I still would not want to live in Glasgow out of choice.
@@michaelhawkins7389Glasgow's razor gang culture was a product of the 1960's and was eradicated long ago. In 1990 Glasgow was declared European City of Culture. It has hosted major global events, most recently the Cop 26 climate conference and Commonwealth Games. For years it's been considered the most visited city in the UK outside London for shopping. It has two universities, a huge international student population, leafy suburbs and affluence. Every city has less well off areas, drug problems etc. Edinburgh is no different in that respect, did you see Trainspotting ? The other thing about choosing to live in Edinburgh is that it being a victim of its own success, you're going to need a lot of money to get anywhere on the property ladder. 🤘🏻
For us, it was amazing to immediately notice the differences between the cities - it's not super easy to define it, but Glasgow definitely seems more "real" because there are fewer tourist distractions and local life is way more visible!
However, historically and culturally, both cities made a huge impression on us! And the people welcomed us with open arms too ❤️
@@michaelhawkins7389 you get ripped off in Edinburgh. Better value for money in Glasgow. Glasgow has better museums & nightlife , beats Edinburgh hand down. Glasgow should become our capital.
@@Parker_Douglas Just like London which over priced with it being capital.
Edinburgh is expensive. However it is the architecture and the history that I love about Edinburgh , Edinburgh for its beauty has been voted the one of the nicest citys in Europe it is up there with Prague , Paris , Rome. It ranked higher then London.
Glasgow looks ugly in parts. but you get that with any city. Glasgow had a really bad reputation in the 1980s, and mid 1990s
but I think Glasgow as a city has become safer? I know that Glasgow has had abit of life put into it , to try and bring people into the city. I prefer other Scottish cities to Glasgow but just so you know I do not hate it
Very nice film Thank you. The architecture in Glasgow is amazing even the pubs .Have a look in the Counting House at George Square it's beautiful inside .
Thanks for the tip and watching the video! Will definitely check it out 😄
Just discovered your channel tonight. Watched the Caledonia Sleeper, Edinburgh and now Glasgow. Next time you're up and going to a chippy, ask for a pizza crunch. Haste ye back
I like to visit places of worship myself and when I was in Glasgow it was Celtic and Rangers !
it's very deceptive city bigger than you imagine ,loved that mural with the man and bird ,hope your ankle is ok
@kathsmith4924 The man with the bird is actually a representation of our city's patron saint... St. Mungo. The bird that never flew.... part of our coat of arms. There's a mural trail taking in many of the gable end/street art works... and it's still growing.
@@stevenrielly240 thank you for info i just love murals and the story behind
Thank you so much Kath and Steven for bringing up the murals into the discussion! We loved them all but this particular one was our favourite too 😍🐦🪶
Nice video ❤❤ Glasgow looks amazing 🤩
Nice to see Glasgow again. I haven't been there since 2018. Great vid as always
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching again 😍 Our next video will be from China so hope you’ll enjoy it too!
Love watching both of you and how you describe things . Are you heading more northwards in Scotland next like around the islands. Sorry for the fall Jay please take care. When you left your luggage in the shop was that a Air B&B you was staying and coming back later or the shop was just holding your luggage like to know more. Merci
Those bottles with the cap attached are quite good. I’m sure we’ll get used to them. I still find myself searching for the cap for a couple of minutes before remembering it’s attached. 😁
Glasgow and Edinburgh: Night and Day! You're such nice people and I absolutely love your channel!! ❤
❤️ You're the best! Thank you so much for watching :) Definitely - apparently the cities are close to each other but are so different!
I did go to Glasgow University, and it was a magical time!
We're so glad to hear that :) We found it extremely charming too!
Love your vids. You are a really nice couple 😊. Looking forward to the next.
Thanks so much! So glad to hear you like them!!! Our next series starts very soon as we’ve been filming for couple of days now in CHINA! Hope you’ll enjoy watching the vlogs too 😍🎉🇨🇳
Welcome to Scotland and my home city. ❤
I was right beside you yesterday I guess, as we were taking our daughter to Strathclyde University to start her first year. Right opposite the Cathedral
The trains on the Subway have only come into service within the last few months.
That’s so interesting! Have they been previously in maintenance or something? Thanks for sharing Stephen 👍
@@JayandKarolina They are replacements for older trains which had run on the system for just over 40 years.
@@JayandKarolinaThey've actually been selling off old parts of the trains , I preferred the old ones , new ones just don't sit right with me .
Glasgow is beautiful ❤️ ancient af.. as a glaswegian it can be lost on us..but imo one of the best cities you can ever visit
It truly is and has a very unique atmosphere around :)
@@JayandKarolina yeah it does have an atmosphere for sure... Its odd ... I've always said i love Glasgow in the fog lol..odd but its true .... I think glasgow has a mood about it...but never feels off...
I don't know if you already know this..........
Scotland is the only country in the world where Coke isn't the best selling soft drink. It's in second place behind Irn-bru.
🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
That's not actually true, coke still outsells Irn Bru. It's a myth!
@@heatherdundas6200 where did you learn that from? Genuine question.
@@heatherdundas6200 Nope, I'm afraid you're wrong. The sales figures that indicate that are based on sales by cans only. With the combined cans and bottles, Irn Bru does indeed outsell Coca Cola.
@@fuzzluvver69 not any more, coke took over when barrs changed the recipe, irn bru is rank rotten now
Sigh, "deep fried Mars Bar". I come from Glasgow and don't know anyone other than tourists who have actually tried this.
I did and liked it, but I could feel my arteries getting clogged as I was eating it
Yep that tends to be the case.
The Scotch pies bought from supermarkets are made with mutton.
This is one really good Chippy
Very good. I watched it all.
From a Glaswegian
That's the biggest compliment we can get from a local resident :) Thanks so much for watching Alan!
My home city has an incredible and mind blowing history made by Glaswegians and guests who have come and made it their home. Floreat Glasgow
Oh, and Glasgow will look more modern because it was bombed heavily in WW2 because of its ship building industry. On the river walk you would have passed the only remaining heavy crane. My girlfriend zip lined across the river from it, for charity. I watched her...nutter! One love from Glasgow. 💙
Edinburgh is beautiful but its quite removed...glasgow is technically the beating heart of scotland...❤ To experience scotland tho you must delve deeper.. so many stunning towns.. coastal villages .. go oot and explore..eat food ❤
Very interesting and enjoyable, cheers 😊👍
Thank you so much for watching Nigel! We really appreciate it :) Cheers!
The only people who order deep fried mars bars are tourists 😂
Glasgow is the third oldest subway after London and Budapest
the Glasgow subway is the opposite of being relatively new... hihihi "Opened on 14 December 1896, it is the third-oldest underground rail transit system in the world after the London Underground and the Budapest Metro."
Great video Jay and Karolina from a Glaswegian. 😊😊
We're so glad to hear that! We are always pleasantly surprised how even local people watch our videos and you like them 😍
Hi Jay, congratulations on the video you made 😄
Hi Karolina, you're always nice as always 😘
Thank you so much Umberto for your support! Glad you enjoyed the video 😍🙏🏼
@@JayandKarolina Your girlfriend is cute . great vidoe . I perfer Edinburgh over Glasgow
As a Glaswegian, I'm embarrassed with Glasgow city centre now...
@@paulmccabe2966
It is turning in to a bit of a shithole
Move then , goodbye .
@@CoolHandLuke-q1eit is a shithole
Please visit the rest of Scotland!! It can be very difficult to actually know it if all you know are the 2 cities! I love them, I live in Glasgow, but people here think that there is nothing beyond the Central Belt!! Dundee and Aberdeen are cities with completely different vibes, and there are so many wee towns and villages with character. Callendar, Edzell, Millport, my home town Arbroath ❤ See them all ❤
Oban a must see and skye.
Thank you.
You're welcome!
9 quid for a pie and a deep friend mars bar?? nah, £3.75 or i'm walking lol. sheesh
It was quite pricey but this fish & chip shop is ranked as one of the top places in Glasgow to visit 😬👌🎉
Fun fact, In glasgow growing up , my friends yoused to keep an edgey when getting up to mischief
I believe Glasgow Cathedral is being used to film part of the forthcoming Frankenstein film. Makes sense - Gothic architecture.
No donation for Art Galleries? Helps with running costs.
My Gran and other members of my family are buried in that graveyard ,great video a bit been up there in a while Glasgow that is ,weather's not changed then!
Glad you enjoyed it! Your relatives must have been very privileged to be buried in such a place Jason!
It's only the train cars that are new in the Glasgow Subway (they were upgraded this year). The subway system itself opened on 14 December 1896, making it the third-oldest underground rail transit system in the world after the London Underground and the Budapest Metro. That's why it's so small compared to modern underground systems!
It makes so much sense now! Thank you so much for sharing 😍🙏
Best used on a match day eh Doug 🤣🤣🔴⚪🔵
@@williamn01 Absolutely ;)
You’re right to point out the new subway trains however you’re wrong about it being newly constructed. It’s one oldest subway systems in the entire world believe it or not. This might sound a little sad but I’ve lived in Glasgow for the best part of 50 years and I still love going on the underground. When I was a kid it was the most exciting thing in the world 🤗
Underground is also known as the clock work orange. It's not new but has been done up
Thanks Fiona for letting us know! So cool!
If you read the bottle label it says the cap is not yet recyclable but the cap says it’s attached to recycle together 😂
The Necropolises graveyard behind the cathedral was used in the last Batman film
Edinburgh is a mixture of Oxford/London...Glasgow is a mixture of Liverpool/Manchester/Birmingham!
Nice Vid folks!
This makes so much sense Gary! We couldn’t agree more on this 😬👍
those latest new bottle tops that are "attached to recycle" or so very annoying! The first time I experienced this I thought I had a faulty bottle. There was nothing to say it was attached for rycycling issues, and I really disliked it and still do. everyone I spoke to also dislikes them too.
Happy sunday
Same to you! 😍
Believe or not, been in Glasgow a few times since it is now my 2nd home, I never eaten a fried Mars ba and a Scottish pier since I'm not a fan of Mars bar and I only do chicken pie :) I love the grey weather in Glasgow. Both Edinburgh and Glasgow have their charm and uniqueness. Our place is in West End which is like a 10ish mins walk to the Botanic garden and people are generally more friendly in Glasgow too though I find no difference.
We couldn’t agree more - the atmosphere and people in Scotland are just great! You are so lucky to live somewhere nearby ❤️
As you perfectly know, we are the foodie types so we feel the need to always try what locals would do! But apparently people in the comments say that the deep fried mars bar is a tourist trap 🫣🍫
@@JayandKarolina is one of the best residential areas in glasgow and safe too. I'm not the person to go for viral food as most are overrated. Anyhow, you guys are in China now? Enjoy and have fun.
Perhaps see you both in Singapore 🇸🇬 :)
Deep-fried Mars bar, no Glaswegians eat that, I am from England originally here for 20 years now, I have seen changes, fish and chips and pies are good, a good haggis but not from a chip shop for that one..
They thought about filming some Hogwarts scenes at UGlasgow, but the schedule interferes with exams. Weirdly, some people still talk about it as if it happened.
Train tickets in the UK are expensive because the trains are now owned by European Companies and we subsidise the train fares in Europe
Great video.... but not the deep fried Mars Bar 😂 We don't actually eat those! The subway is actually the 3rd oldest in the world, behind London and Budapest, it's been modernised over the last 10 - 15 years, and the trains are only a few months old.
Thanks for sharing! We were so shocked when realised that actually they brought back that subway to life 🚇 It’s such a great idea!
We genuinely thought that a deep fried mars bar is something every Scottish person would enjoy a lot haha
There is a whole part of Edinburgh you cant change or build on.
The only citys ive ever been to is my local city Brighton and Hove) then southampton and London but i really want to explore other citys in uk i am going to try visit glasgow Edinburgh Leeds and Manchester one day. I got family who live in Yorkshire so hopefully i can visit the citys and towns in Northern england this year or next.
Ive stayed in Glasgow for many years and never had a deep fried mars
Definitely best keeping it that way pal, they’re bowfin! 🤮
Do you think you’ll visit Inverness? Smaller of course but a great place to live
We're currently filming outside of the UK but the plan is to come back in couple of months and shoot some more videos for sure 😍
Do you know what edgy means here in Glasgow? It’s the word called out by someone who’s being the lookout for others who are up to no good when the cops turn up. I’m sure everyone else around the world probably shouts someone’s coming. Glaswegian shout edgy. A little bit of useless information for you to take away with you…🤷🏻♂️🏴
😂😂😂
The things wee used to say. Remember ye’d say to one or two of the wee guys, “Keep the edgy for us”? 😂
@@Jamie0789 Yes Sir.🫡
You’re not a Glaswegian, if you don’t know that..🤣🤣🤣🤷🏻♂️🏴
Ha ha, I'm a Geordie and even I know the Glasgow Subway is one of the oldest in the world ( 3rd I think )!
Yes Stephen, it’s not the newest but it has its own unique style I believe 😂👍
@JayandKarolina yes, it's a smaller gauge, very dinky! I believe it very recently had new trains installed
2nd oldest, after London
Yeah.. came across as uninformed and quite patronising with the comments about the subway
@@MoodyMarco-vj3oe Not quite: a fairly short (4km) cut-and-cover underground railway opened in Budapest, just a few months before Glasgow's in 1896.
Edgy actually means risky, if you don't feel safe you are normally a bit on edge. Hence "It's a bit edgy here" ___ "I don't feel completely safe".
😬😬😬
The caps attached to the irn bru is stupid imo because when you finish a bottle you automatically screw the cap back on and then recycle it.... It's just treating people like they're idiots to be honest.
Glasgow is industrial city lots of brilliant people & restaurants & friendly people 🏴😂
Couldn't agree more Pamela! And also it's so artsy and the city really has a soul!
Im from Glasgow i have never eat fryed mars bar
Really? We would have assumed that it's a local delicacy? May we ask you Jon, what would a true Scotsman eat for dessert? :)
@@JayandKarolina Sticky Toffee Pudding (or dumpling)
A pie and a fried mars bar £8.50? You are being truly ripped off.
£9 for 1 pie and 1 deep fried Mars bars, I think they saw you coming!
It was quite pricey but apparently this place is on top of the list for fish & chips in Glasgow! And because it’s Italian-influenced, it’s something unique I guess 😬👍
i love Glasgow i been loads of times try Aberdeen to
We were thinking of visiting Aberdeen indeed because we've heard so many great things? Any suggestions of what not to miss when we go there Mark? Let us know 😍
Glasgow City is the best # tourist only visit Edinburgh cos it reminds them back home when the Gunners fire at 1,00pm 😘
The Glasgow Subway is the second oldest in the world, after London.
That's pretty amazing how they do preserve it! It felt like a spaceship at first haha but overall it was very efficient :)
Third after London and Budapest
Morrisons sell a really nice Scotch Pie from their bakery and I still need to try the deep fried Mars bar.
You've made us want to do that now Ben haha 😂 But we'll have to wait a bit for such pleasures because we've just started filming more vlogs in CHINA!!!
Glasgow is a Brilliant City and the People are great 💙🇬🇧😎👍
No need for the butchers apron 🤮
do you prefer edinburgh or Glasgow?
the attached lid is annoying, its solving a problem that never a problem everyone recycles the bottle and lid already but its treating everyone like toddlers who cant be trusted but also making it harder to close the bottle properly had a two litre bottle of cola leek into my fridge because the lid was on at an angle so it wasn't sealed
BTW, the population of Glasgow is larger than Edinburgh.
It did indeed feel like a bigger city! And we think that probably more people live in the outskirts as well :) Is this true?
@@JayandKarolinaGlasgow is like 4 towns + 1 city centre e.g. West end(Glasgow Uni/Kelvingrove),East End (Merchant City/Barras),Southside(Shawlands/Queens Park),North (Port Dundas/Maryhill)!
deep fried mars bar is a gimmick and not for me..its a touristy thing
We genuinely thought it is a big thing in Scotland 😬 Well, now we know!
I’m from Glasgow and the deep fried mars bar is just what tourists like to try. I wouldn’t try the deep fried mars bar because it’s not for me
