2. Clare Grogan
“I have travelled the world and although I’m biased, I think Glasgow has an amazing amount to offer. The buildings are spectacular, the arts, music and culture scene is incredibly diverse and inclusive. And the curries are the best.” Photo: Brian Anderson/Shutterstock
3. Alex Kapranos
“Glasgow has so much going for it. If I have friends over from a foreign country, like USA or France, I will always take them on a tour to show the place off, go for a pint, take them for something good to eat and then a trip to the transport museum so they can have a look at my old Lambretta scooter." | AFP via Getty Images

“I left Glasgow in 1996. I miss the humour, chit-chat and potato scones. Our ability to laugh at ourselves hasn’t yet reached America.” | TRNSMT
