Zetterlund Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 A few pretty soulless old mining towns in the south & west of Fife give the whole region a bad name for people who have only ever experienced a few football away days there. The coast from Newburgh all the way around to the East Neuk and everything in between is totally fine, and the larger towns like Kirkcaldy and Dunfermline are no worse than any other town that size. Even the smaller towns down that way are redeemed by some nice, admittedly slightly radioactive, sandy beaches. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) Really?? Inverurie has got to be the dullest town I've ever been to! Shame really considering how much potential the place had, but when you fill it with Aberdonians then it's not surprising it becomes about as interesting as a documentary fly fishing. By Aberdonians, do you mean south of England oily migrants who do nothing but keep to themselves (or join a committee of some description) once home? Smaller places like Insch for example have had the social heart ripped out of them. I met a guy from Grandholm recently who had lived there for three years yet didn't know it was pronounced 'Granum'. Great local social life he must lead.

Fife is very much a weird one, controlled by the geology, where you have post-industrial shitey coal villages / towns almost randomly dotted between rather nice ones, these being the ones folk see given the industry related transport links. As for the away day effect, I've noticed a general biased trend towards places with SPFL sides. No huge surprise given the nature of the forum.

I spent near enough 3 months making daily visits to every town/village there, there are some nice wee places but there is a fair amount of utter shiteholes. The roads as well, just a no go zone IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzle Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 People who slate Fife usually haven't seen very much of it, there are some shitholes however as has been said loads of coast is very nice, villages such is Kettle, Falkland, Freuchie etc which are all very nice. You can't really judge Fife if you've only ever seen, Methil/Kelty/Kennoway etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacksgranda Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I take it that's a false flag, in case pccabe is still lurking. Then again... He's back, been on the Beith/peasies thread.

Bobby Skidmarks Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Culloden is a horrible shout, Dalneigh and The Ferry are much worse. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuddieInDundee Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 Does being dull really mean it would rank around one of the 'worst towns in Scotland'? Well, no. Wrong sort of thread for Inverurie I agree, but the point still stands about it being a soulless travesty. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
