• Edinburgh. It's a world city, unique and stunning, both visually and in terms of its history and culture. From David Hume to Arthur Conan Doyle to Trainspotting this has been a world city for many hundreds of years. It's small enough to walk around it comfortably, but packs a very powerful punch. It is also one of the most cosmopolitan places in the UK. Glasgow has its charms too and you should definitely see both if possible but Edinburgh is the one.

• You're very welcome. I was born in Glasgow, I should add, and have lived in both places, so am in a good position to judge!

• A Glaswegian, I've always loved that. My younger brother, at the age of 10, said "That sounds like a glass blower's disease". Always thought that was funny.

• I am pleased that you know that. It drives me nuts (I am certain DH would agree) to hear people call them Glagowans.

• Sounds too much like wedgies :) which is also insulting on an entirely different level. Oh, btw, your profile is great. Hats off, I have a lot of respect for those who teach.

• actually, David, I have Hume ancestry. Wonder if, in your travels, you have heard of a John Hume b c 1650 who married a Frances Conyers in Durham.

• Never heard of him. It is a relatively common surname here, and was originally spelled Home. There is a Home Street in Edinburgh pronounced that way.

  • Report
  

  by DavidHume on March 4th, 2007

• If you ever do come across any mention of him...please tell me. Frances is a descendant of a manorial family, so I am thinking he could not have been without means.
