I see this cropping up from time to time. Nobody (at least in  
Scotland and everywhere else I've been) talks about Glasgae. The  
colloquial term is "Glaesgah".

This from memory regarding heart attack statistics. There was a big  
(mainly European) study looking at the incidence of heart attacks in  
males and females in different countries. I think there were about 40  
countries in the study.

Scotland and Ireland were the only two countries in which *both*  
males and females were in the top half dozen. Other than these, the  
high incidences were radically different between males and females.

IIRC, Greece was top for females, with males being near the bottom  
and Finland was top for males, with females being mid table, but its  
about 10 years since I last looked at this report and I couldn't find  
it with a quick google and hubmed search. So, pinch of salt with this  
one.
