Argyle

Advantages: Will be Appreciated by Rangers fans!
Disadvantages: Won't be by everyone else!

...----Background of Visit---- The Argyll is situated under the Central Station Bridge on Argyle St. Glasgow. One Saturday evening heading in to town for a night out, me and a couple of friends got off the train and having had a few shandys on board we headed for the nearest pub to make use of the facilities, so to speak.

...To me Glasgow feels much more like a city than Edinburgh. The two are complete contrasts, with Glasgow being more concrete and urban in comparison to the olde worlde cobbled streets of Edinburgh. While the centre of Edinburgh feels just like a big town, Glasgow has more of a city feel to it.
