Glasgow<\/a>, Edinburgh and Aberdeen<\/a> were chosen by the public and respectively scored 97, 93 and 84.<\/p>\n

The travel<\/a> magazine hailed Aberdeen as a \u201cbustling\u201d port city.<\/p>\n

The publication said: \u201cIt\u2019s the people who really bring Aberdeen to life, as its relatively small population has a heart-warming community feel compared to the larger cities on our list.<\/p>\n

\u201cWander the silvery granite streets, a remnant of its industrial powerhouse past, and hear the soft tones of Doric conservation, Aberdeen\u2019s charming local dialect.\u201d<\/p>\n

Glasgow was hailed for being a social hub and for knowing how to party.<\/p>\n

The magazine continued: \u201cThink of cool cocktail\u00a0bars, historic boozers, and, the cherry on top, legendary music venues, which have given rise to Glasgow\u2019s Unesco City of\u00a0Music\u00a0status.\u201d<\/p>\n

And regarding Edinburgh<\/a>, Cond\u00e9 Nast Traveller added: \u201cThe Scottish capital is good-humoured, open-minded, and pulsing with creative energy, while widespread patriotism means that all are eager to provide superb standards of hospitality as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other cities, including Liverpool<\/a> and Manchester<\/a>, also made the shortlist.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, Paisley was crowned as Scotland\u2019s Town of the Year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Judges awarded the title after being impressed by the town\u2019s \u201cresurgence\u201d and investment in its\u00a0future<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It comes as new businesses open, new\u00a0homes\u00a0are built, and a new state-of-the-art secondary\u00a0school.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere,\u00a0Paisley<\/a>\u00a0Museum has been transformed and is due to reopen\u00a0next\u00a0year.<\/p>\n

Kimberley Guthrie, Chief Officer of\u00a0awards\u00a0organisers Scotland\u2019s Towns Partnership (STP), said: \u201cIncredibly special things are happening in\u00a0Paisley.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe town is on a remarkable journey of reinvention and rejuvenation, which has evolved over the past decade, kick-started by major cultural regeneration.\u201d<\/p>\n
