capybara Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 I'm sure there is / was. Probably on display in Methil Tourist Information Centre. A county of contrast. St Andrews to Cardenden Out of sheer boredom I went on Google Maps once and was looking at East Kilbride. I genuinely couldn't find the Town Centre. Enter roundabout and take the 1st exit. Enter roundabout and take the 4th exit. Enter roundabout and take the 3 exit. Reculculating. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LinkinFighter Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Out of sheer boredom I went on Google Maps once and was looking at East Kilbride. I genuinely couldn't find the Town Centre. Its beside the indoor shopping centre IIRC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'm Brian Posted October 27, 2013 Author Share Posted October 27, 2013 Really? Although it's a grey and dull rainfest, there are far, far worse towns in Scotland than Greenock....off the top of my head: Alloa, Kilmarnock, Airdrie, Kirkcaldy, Dunfermline, East Kilbride, Port Glasgow, Livingston, Methill, Cumbernauld I would have Kilmarnock above a few of those in that list. Greenock, unless it has changed substantially I have always found a grim, depressing and threatening place. Of towns of a similar size I would place it firmly at the bottom. The view from Lyle Hill and the walk along the front. IMO that's about it. The single worse place I have ever been to in Scotland would have to be New Cumnock 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Patterson Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Anytime I've been in Killie it appeared to be closed. Perth really isn't that much more vibrant though to be fair. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAD Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 East Kilbride, no contest. Yeah, but have you noticed how people from East Kilbride always think it's fucking brilliant and can't understand why we don't all live there too, so maybe it's not all bad. They also love saying "if the weather like this down here it'll be much worse in East Kilbride" and going home at the slightest hint of snow. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coooombe Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 That article reads like it was written by someone who had never been to Kilmarnock before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamaldo Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 Edinburgh is a city, you complete cockmaggot. That's right. The rule is if it's a city it can't possibly be a shithole. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael W Posted October 27, 2013 Share Posted October 27, 2013 (edited) It always amazes me that people who list Greenock in these threads invariably seem to forget about Port Glasgow, which most will have driven through to get there. Port Glasgow was much worse than the little bit of Greenock I saw. Methil still sticks out as the obvious choice for me. It looks horrible, there's f**k all there and the locals look ill. Kirkcaldy is hardly a fantastic place, but it's a far, far better place to live by comparison.

Not a lot of people think about that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
