Hi, Folks,

I live in California and I will be visiting Edinburgh for the weekend of July 5-8. I'm excited beyond words to explore this magical city for the first time! I'm a gay middle-aged guy and fairly low-key but I think it might be fun to enjoy a bit of gay nightlife while I'm in Scotland.

If I go out, I like dance clubs more than bars, especially if they have house music and are cruisey. I'm aware that Glasgow has a bigger club scene than Edinburgh and am curious if it would be worth taking the train or taxi to Glasgow on the Saturday evening of my weekend. I read about a club called Hot Mess at the Poetry Club, although I'm not sure if that event will be happening on the weekend that I am around.

Then again, the place I'm staying in Edinburgh is right by the Pink Triangle and perhaps the clubs in Edinburgh would be perfectly fun and I shouldn't bother with the commute to Glasgow, especially as the trains stop at 1:00 so, when I leave the club in Glasgow, I'd have to pay for an expensive taxi back to my room in Edinburgh.

I'd love your thoughts on this topic, please. Thanks!
