[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don't speak loudly with an American accent in Edinburgh and especially Glasgow cities. Even if you had a London accent I would warn this. And avoid the town on Friday & Saturday nights it will be stuffed to the rafters with drunks. [/quote]

Solid advice.[/quote]

I disagree.  Obviously if you yourself act like a drunk and obnoxious idiot while speaking with your American accent you might be asking for trouble.  But when you don’t the locals embrace you.  [/quote]

You have never been to Scotland, obviously. [/quote]

Yes, I have.  Several times.  Also the parent of an Edinburgh graduate.  And we were absolutely and 100 percent embraced.  You’re full of it. [/quote]

I'm a previous poster who went to grad school at Edinburgh. The responses from people on this thread reinforce my decision to take everything people say on this website with a the largest bucket of salt. I have a lived experience. I was also completely embraced. When people found out I was American, the craziest response I got was "that's interesting." It's a *very* international University with kids from all over the world.
