I used to commute Edinburgh - Glasgow, and plenty of others do the same. It's also common for folk to do the trip just for an evening to go to a gig or something (a lot of tours will have their only Scottish date in Glasgow). I think your friends were probably meaning that you'd need more than a day to fully be able to see what Glasgow has to offer? If not, that seems really odd as it's a busy commuter route.
Nope, they were really saying that you can't see anything there unless you go for the whole weekend.
We walked around, checked out the castle, saw a lame touristy film about Nessy, sampled some incredible whisky and were home for dinner.
It was kinda the same with St Abbs. They said we had to leave Friday morning and leave Sunday evening (again from Glasgow) or we wouldn't get to do much. Now I'm not going to say the place isn't gorgeous, but what we did was hang out in a... cottage? I'm not sure what to rightly call it, but we hung out at someone's place, played board games, played cards, hung out by the bluffs, on the beach etc.
I don't disagree that it was a relaxing and fun weekend, but we didn't need to spend a full 2.5 days there to do what we did. They made it seem like if we lost even an hour the weekend was lost.
