It's great to hear that you like it there. I admit that so far I've heard mostly bad things about Glasgow - about how it's big and grey and, well, non-Edinburgh-like - but this post makes me want to visit. As you said, it's only an hour away and West End sounds charming. Nothing makes me like a place faster than green areas and cafes (except for seaside, that is).
That's a brave thing to do, to accept an offer from a place you've never been to - and I guess it could turn out bad, but if it turns out good, it gives you this "thank god I wasn't too afraid to do it" feeling, doesn't it? I did a similar thing for my Sixth Form - I went to a boarding school in a place I've never been to before (not to mention in a country I've only visited once) and it was one of the best decisions I've ever made. After my final exams I cried on the bus to the airport, at the airport, on the plane and in the car back to my home city... Well, with some breaks inbetween. ;-)
