Would have to disagree with you about the divide. To a lot of people (such as yourself) it's a non-issue however the majority are averse to travelling across the country (people in both cities). I can understand cost being a factor with it costing >£25 peak time to travel across the central belt. The number of people from the capital who have attended RookieOven meetup at least once over the past year is appalling. I get the feeling it's the same for TechMeetup, Refresh, Popup Hack and more.

Cost is a factor, but if there's any way you catch the 4:30 train it drops to £12 which is much better. Or the bus has no peak time charge, but it takes longer. I guess I'd just like more people to think about it. To many people go "Glasgow/Edinburgh, eww" and set up a false divide without even considering if it's possible to head across. From what I've seen at Techmeetup (both Edinburgh & Glasgow) the number of travelers is small, but they are there.
