I am visiting Glasgow (5 days) with a 2 day side trip to Edinburgh. Suggestions for restaurants would be appreciated. Also need good places to drink scotch.

Depending on your price range, Stravaigin and Ubiquitous Chip are both very good. On the cheaper end, I was fond of the University Cafe, Old Salty's for fish and chips, and ice cream from Jaconelli's. The west end and Kelvingrove in particular have a lot of good options, so just pulling up Google Maps and seeing what you like the look of should be fine. There's also the Shish Mahal, which claims to be the origin of chicken tikka masala, if that seems interesting.

It's been years since I've lived in Glasgow, though, so you should probably check reviews first.

e: It's not a restaurant, but George Bower in Edinburgh is a butcher that does some very nice meat pies.

All sounds good, thanks! Mrs.Geek and I are very excited about our visit. Do all Scottish pubs have a good selection of scotch, or is there anything in particular we should look for? We both enjoy the gamut, from smokey - peaty to light and sweet. We were disappointed when we realized we would not have enough time for a side visit to Islay and the distilleries there.
