After I've done my masters I'm planning to move to either Edinburgh or Glasgow.
I'm trying to recall you saying something that didn't sound like bollocks.
English towns and cities in general aren't very appealing. Brutalist buildings, glass plate and steel random shapes, unfriendly people (not just natives), grim weather. Some places are nicer to look around than others but apart from country walks I don't really see the UK as a holiday place. I suppose if you had a carefully planned holiday in Summer that involved something like half a day at the best southern beach, a visit to bath, a visit to york, some LOTR larping in Scotland and then go home, with no more than 15 minutes in any stations or city centers without real direction, then it might be good.
