I know it's a little bit out of the way, but that's for good reason.
Try a trip sometime to Campbeltown. They have inbuilt stranger
radar and will pick a fight for no reason and you don't have to
enter one of their "charming" public houses to experience this.

First place I saw a drug deal in broad daylight.

What a sheltered life you must lead.

I guess you've never been down the beach of a summers day: Miniature Railway, fairground rides, pitch and putt, crazy golf, trampolines, general playgrounds, paddling pool...

Sounds such fun. Did you go with your half crown pocket money?

By the by, Arbroath is still a dump.

No, my three year old child, but please don't let facts get in the way of your opinion.

How about a HG day oot? You can do a fair bit of damage with a putter as well :wink:

Back to the topic in hand, a few years ago I would have been tempted to mention Rothesay but it seems to have been getting a bit better in recent times. Even the BBC seem to agree.

After much thought I think I will withdraw my previous nominations (Larkhall is pushing it though) cause if I'm perfectly honest I think Glasgow is shit too.

I quite like Edinburgh. So long as I don't have the car with me!

I have to nominate Bishopbriggs, ive worked there for the last two years and have never met people whos heads were su far up their own arses.

Ignorant isnt a word id use to describe the local yokels.

Worst place ive ever works and in my working life ive worked in rough places like thornliebank, livingston etc.
