Hmm.. tough one.. I am going to have to give a slight edge to the Falklands... drier the whole year plus more sunshine and daylight in the winter in general.
I'm curious to know if trees can grow in either place...

Falkland Islands, about 1/2 the rain at that latitude is meaningful.

Stanley for respectable sunshine hours and colder winters with a greater probability of snow. I don't think that I would be psychologically equipped to handle living in either climate, though (even though Glasgow isn't a massive upgrade from either of those climates).

Falklands, drier with more even rainfall. Also the higher snow chance. Also, these aren't rubbish, just mediocre.

Lerwick because at least they have average warmest month over 10°C(even warmest lows) and moderated. I vote for Sh!tland (Refer to number 21)

Why rubbish climates? These are my favourites climates ever! ^_^
I choose Lerwick due to it being rainier and cloudier, but both are great!
