    I stayed in Falkirk for years, apart from the bog and Camelon I didn't think it was too bad. Hallglen and Maddiston had quite a bad rep but I had pals from them and they seemed not too bad when we were there. Wish I never left the place.

    Ended up in Cumbernauld.

    I'm from the East End of Glasgow which was a bit rough when I was in my teens however, I did a 12 week placement in Possilpark and it was dodgy as *. Used to hate the dark nights especially as you just saw guys emerging from dimly lit closes looking mental as *.

    Cambuslang wouldn’t even be top 10 ffs, there’s some absolute * holes in Scotland. Most of which loyalist, butchers apron waving, sister *, front porch with 1 tooth dwelling hun strongholds.

    Type of places letting your dug * on the pavement would improve the aesthetic.

    Cambuslang is OK however the Circuit was a bit grim but yes, Cambuslang isn't as bad as a helluva lot of other * holes in Scotland which not surprisingly, are infested with huns.

    Harlow down here is one of the biggest shitholes in the country for me. An absolute cesspit, run down dump thats stuck in time and loads of * amongst it..

    Birkenhead up north i found to be a right dive..

    Kirkcaldy is fine. A few areas like any other place but in general it’s ok.

    Aye Methil is awful. There’s parts of Glenrothes that are horrific as well, as are certain parts of Dunfermline. If you pick out certain parts of any town or city, they could be classed as a shitehole. Methil is just horrendous all over however.

    Carlisle in general just seems a dump to me. 'Born in Carlisle', no thanks..

    I remember years ago going to my pals da's in Exeter and couldn't believe how much of a dump a lot of it was. Was surprisingly a rough as * gaff away from the main centre. Big schemes and full of junkies as well..

    I like camelon. It's central to everything and has everything u need. The bog did used to be rough when I was younger. But then again maybe it just seemed that way because I was younger and more easily scared.

    Langlees was by far the roughest area. Whole blocks of burnt out flats and proper wasteland where people lived. Looked like a post apocalyptic movie scene. It's not like that now though whatsoever.

    West Quarter had the 'Chungy' who were * and fought with any * that wasn't from their area. You wouldn't go to the West Quarter club in the 90s/early 2000s, cause you would end up scrapping. No 2 ways about it

    Carlisle is like the land that time forgot. Had to catch a connecting train from there once. That was plenty.

    Fergie Park in Paisley is another frickin nightmare.

    I don't know it personally but I've heard plenty of stories. That must be up there.

    Trust me mate, you don't want to live there. Let's just say I had a short stay there once with an Ex.
    I only survived because her family were feared in Fergie.

    Aye, when I hung about in Laurieston we sat at the wee path that leads to Westquarter and the guys from there did say about them being a bit nuts. Think there was only one guy from Westquarter in my year and he did seem a bit of a rough *. Nevet set foot in the place though.

    One of the few places I have been (wife’s aunt lived in Kirkland Drive) where I thought can some * no just stab me for an excuse to leave. Worst yet next day someone was stabbed at the chippy across the road.

    I remember being in Touch and it being pretty bad.

    It’s mainly Thall or was when I was younger.

    Heroin Valley in the Gorbals is another rough joint I had the misfortune to stay in.
    The Waddell Court Tower Block.

    Wester Hailes on a mingin, grey day in the pishing rain takes a lot of beating when it comes to grim......
