Don't believe it.  I can't speak for your London friend, but I am an American 
who has been to Glasgow twice in the past few years, and I'm married to an 
American who spent a semester studying at the uni.  I can tell you that every 
Glaswegian I've ever met has been nothing less than friendly and hospitable.  
And I've never felt intimidated walking around the city, though as with every 
metropolis, there are certain parts of town you'll want to avoid (you 
certainly wouldn't catch me in a dark alley in the Gorbals).  In many ways, I 
find Glasgow to be a more welcoming city than Edinburgh or London.  It would 
be a shame if you missed out on visiting such a fine place because some 
Londoner tried to scare you out of it :).
