Glasgow vs Edinburgh

Glasgow vs Edinburgh

I very recently got offered a job writing for a tourist information website here in Edinburgh. And when I say 'job', I use the term loosely, meaning it's more like an unpaid weekly hobby which will look awesome on my CV and has potential to give me free vouchers. 
I've been told to articles similar to what I write here about veganism and what us vegans can feast on here in Edinburgh. 


So yesterday, after having my friend Kristin from Norway stay with me for the week, aka a seven day bender, I got to work on writing my very first entry.
And it got me thinking... what on earth do I write about? After spending over two months in Spain, when I arrived in Edinburgh I was like a little kid in a candy store. 


There was so many things I wanted to eat... and more importantly, that I could eat.
However three months later and numerous forum updates about how many vegan cafes and restaurants there are in Glasgow, I'm beginning to feel as though Edinburgh is being left behind in the whole 'vegan movement'. Why is it, that Glasgow is only one hour train ride away but some how there is a decade between them?
It does make me wonder, will Edinburgh catch up eventually or do they need a little push?
