Aberdeens Christmas Market is incredibly disappointing. Having been to Gdansk, Berlin and Hyde Park my expectations for a village like Aberdeen are maybe a bit too high |

As others have said, I'm afraid Edinburgh pees on Glasgow from a great height in this respect. Worth getting there earlier though as it gets really busy. Find a good bar afterwards and then come back when it's dark and the lights are at their best.
Glasgow is just a bit basic. A couple of bars surrounded by a few tatty stalls. |

Couldn't agree more, it's embarrassing. Went to the Edinburgh market last week and it was brilliant  |

Go to the Edinburgh market. I got a lovely hot chocolate there while moseying about the gardens soaking up the atmosphere, just lovely. Glasgow's is rubbish  x |

Glasgow has two. It’s usually better at St Enoch. I was at the one in Hyde Park a couple of weeks ago. There’s plenty of vendors all selling the same things really.
I found the St Enoch one better as there’s more induvidual vendors. Otherwise it’s all wooden Christmas ornaments, tealight holders, scarves and jewellery.
I’d agree with the overpriced donuts and crepes. |

I think the "final straw" for me in terms of Christmas Markets was when walking round the one beside the St. Enoch Centre.
There was a stand for Thai Curry and one for Macaroni Cheese.
What is Christmasy about them???
When I think Christmas Markets I think of Pfeffernüsse, specifically the small domed ones covered in icing, but I've not seen them at a Christmas Market since about 2009.
