weekevie04 Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 30. Half of these are just weegie 'suburbs'. if Larkhall, Hamilton, Cumbernauld, East Kilbride all there, then whaars Montrose, Stonehaven, Pitlochrie, and Lochee? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
min Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 51 for me, which is more than I expected considering the list is largely a list of towns and suburbs of greater Glasgow. No sign of Aberdeenshire towns like Banff, Huntly, Turriff, Westhill, Ellon, Banchory, Kintore, Kemnay, Macduff, Portlethern, Oldmeldrum, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Stonehaven was on it, I've never stopped there, so didn't count it. None of the ones you've listed I would consider Glasgow, they're all in North or South Lanarkshire. Bearsden, Newton mearns, Rutherglen, cambuslang, I would consider to be Glasgow, but others probably wouldn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Endell Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) Stonehouse is definitely on it. Bearsden, Newton Mearns, Rutherglen and Cambuslang are all towns in their own right - and often fiercely independent - a Rutherglenonian (or whatever people from Rutherglen are called...) would be offended if someone called him a Glaswegian.

I've absolutely no idea where 'Pitlochrie' is though. Edited August 14, 2015 by Charlie Endell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sbcmfc Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 Suppose it's all relative to where your from. My colleague from up north calls people from Wishaw, Hamilton and paisley weegies. I would draw a line around ballieston/cambuslang where Glasgow stops and becomes Coatbridge, uddingston, Blantyre. Someone from Dundee/lochee would probably do the same?

Seems logical as once you go east of Drumsagard/Newton there is nothing for a bit until you get to Uddingston/Blantyre but I'm in Cambuslang and pay my cooncil tax to South Lanarkshire, so I don't class it as Glasgow. I played football not far from where I live now before I moved to this area and would have probably just said it was Glasgow then . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Falkirk is critical point. Anyone north of there is a teuchter to most west coasters. Whilst anyone south of that for us east and northern folk are all Weegies.

Mindimoo Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 I always think of Cumbernauld as the split Go a couple of miles north to Banknock or even Castlecsry and they're all teuchters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Endell Posted August 14, 2015 Share Posted August 14, 2015 (edited) What I find amazing is the difference in accent between Cumbernauld and Falkirk (about eleven miles?) - in Cumbernauld they speak normally but travel a short distance and the banjo-playing inflection sets in.

I don't know of any measure where Lochee could be called anything other than an area of Dundee. Monifieth, Invergowrie, Broughty Ferry - aye, you can discuss, but if Lochee isn't in Dundee then neither is Dryburgh. And Dryburgh is as Dundee as you can get.
