Lambie's Pigeon Feed Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I really love Dundee but that is based almost entirely around the reading rooms, that place allowed Dundee to shine and made it somewhere to go for an amazing night out in a way you never would to Aberdeen or Stirling. Dundee loses a lot if that place shuts down and shame on the council and coppers who presumably are behind it and who should be trying to preserve the jewel in the cultural crown. The waterfront plans are impressive but I hope the finished thing integrates as well as they hope. Seems too car centric but you csnt move the tay bridge. The V & A looks cool but having been at a seminar in there it's just two big expensive coffee shops for posher old people. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Rejuvenated waterfront" = a poxy wee museum, a Beefeater/Premier Inn and a dreadful-looking budget hotel on top of the station entrance. You can see everything worth seeing in Dundee (Dundee Law and the Lemmings statue) in the space of a couple of hours. Can tell you travel just up the kingsway lol I worked in an office on said rejuvenated waterfront for three years m80. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

101 Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 I think I'm lucky to have be brought up in Aberdour, pretty much down hill from there. We are pretty luckily in general in Scotland I've spent the last week in London and it's an utter hole once you leave the center 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guinness Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 St Boswells is v nice. The Buccleuch Arms is worth a visit is you're ever round that way. Aye, Owned by a pair of Tory twats & If you want a pint of Guinness at £4.50 your more than welcome. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Bob Mahelp Posted April 16, 2019 Share Posted April 16, 2019 I like what's happened with Dundee, but even with the re-generation of the waterfront it's still got a ways to go. Back in the days Reform St. used to be the place to shop, but in recent years it's just filled up with takeaways and empty units. That's an area that could do with investment. However, Dundee's not unique in needing city centre re-generation. Most Scottish towns and cities have High Streets that are dying....it's a pity. Still, Dundee still has got some cracking boozers....whenever I visit mates and go out in the city centre these days I'm always suprised what a good night is to be had. And it's still got the Arctic.

dundeefc1783 Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 If I could live anywhere in Scotland it'd be an east neuk of fife village. Crail, Anstruther, somewhere like that.Have you ever actually spent any time in the east Neuk? It’s filled with inbred arseholes who don’t like “incomers”. Strange strange place. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 Few Weegies survive more than a year in an East Neuk village without being hounded out, usually sent back to some caravan park or Glenrothes where the second generation Weegies tolerate them to a certain degree (not the third generation though). Probably justified tbf. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superbigal Posted April 17, 2019 Share Posted April 17, 2019 The east neuk is forgiven for not being hospitable to dundonians. The language is tricky and I lived their for 10 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best place to live is probably pretty subjective to what age you are and what you want. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
