rhliston Posted June 14, 2017 Share Posted June 14, 2017 There is a pub in Plean with that very name, much like Plean, it is sh*t. Have to disagree with you regarding the Clansman in Plean, not a bad little village pub. As regards Plean their are a lot of places much worse than it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8MileBU Posted June 15, 2017 Share Posted June 15, 2017 Raploch, Cornton much worse than Fallin. True, just mentioned Fallin is it's near Plean and an utter hole. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raploch, Cornton, Fallin, Plean and Cowie are much of a muchness, villages on the fringes of Stirling with a lot of actually very decent people and the rest an ecclectic mix of jakeys neds and scumbags. They are also quite defined by their religious and football supporting make up, Fallin and Plean are very, shall we say Rangers minded while the make up of Raploch is more of a Catholic/Celtic supporting mindset. Cowie and Cornton are more 50/50 mixed but still with their fair share of swivel headed fuckwits on both sides of the coin. The Cornton has the nickname 'single parent city' as when young girls got up the duff that was the part of town with the most empty flats so the council housed most of them down there, the most common sight down the Cornton is of 16 year old lassies pushing buggies to the shops to buy scratchcards. As mentioned im from Fallin but went to primary school in Cowie, 2 miles up the road, about half a dozen of us went to the Catholic school in Cowie while the rest went to Fallin primary. We also went to Cowie on a Sunday morning for mass, there was a wee wooden building used as a chapel in Fallin when I was a wee boy but the locals burnt it down one night Edited June 15, 2017 by Flybhoy 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larkhall gets a bad press but actually has a Celtic Supporters Club. The wee town next door is hell of a lot worse. When I worked there, it was a regular occurrence to be asked if one was a "left footer" before being allowed access to people's house. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul McStay and his family are from Larkhall, story I heard was when the sandwich chain Subway opened a shop there they had to change its traditional green and yellow signage to blue due to its constant vandalism. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it was a black background rather than blue but otherwise aye. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alta-pete Posted June 16, 2017 Share Posted June 16, 2017 ^^^ and here's the counter. Betfred with their usual red white and blue colours have a shop at Parkhead Cross that looks like this (the shameless shift in colours may or may not be part of some cynical ploy to part cash from the local populace) .... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LincolnHearts Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Cracking bump Magee The Granton Tap and Anchor Inn were strange boozers when I was growing up round that way. The cigarette machine was somehow stolen from the Tap one night as well Can remember the replacement machine being chained to the wall after that. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
