Studenty wanks not withstanding. It doesn’t have a shithole part, it is always vibrant, with golfers, tourism, and, to be fair, the studenty wanks. Never get tired of visiting St Andrews, and if I could afford it, could easily move there. There are also really nice places in Ayrshire. Avoid the places in Ayrshire with junior fitba’ teams in them though. Alloway, Largs, around Troon and Prestwick - nice parts all around there with access to beaches and great scenery. Plus, train links to Glesga’ are good from Ayrshire. Lots of nice places in Scotland, lots of shitholes too. Same as just about anywhere in the UK.

I genuinely hate St Andrews - an overpriced touristy shitehole. Reading back, I for one enjoyed this back and forth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cosmic Joe Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 Even the Fife rail network studiously avoids St Andrews. And there are some seriously grim stops on the Fife rail network. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillonearth Posted March 23, 2022 Share Posted March 23, 2022 I have to vouch for Sanquhar being a weird wee place, although I'm sure it's like many other relatively isolated places that don't get much through traffic. Only been there the once for a game - the way the trains ran you got there a bit over an hour before kickoff. I figured I'd spend the time taking a look around and then go for a pint to kill the time. Problem was it was one of those wee places where everything seems to shut at 12 noon on a Saturday...the only thing open was a Spar. Pint it was then, so I walked into the nearest pub. Remember the Slaughtered Lamb from American Werewolf in London? Pretty much that - the minute I walked up to the bar all the conversations stopped and every eye was on me. Ordered a pint and ended up downing it in double quick time just to get out the place. I was half expecting someone to tell me "It's death out there..." I thought I'd struck lucky when I saw a wee local museum that seemed open at the end of the main street...the kind of place that might kill half an hour in that so-boring-it's-almost-interesting way. Unfortunately, the curator clearly hadn't seen many visitors for a while, and ended up following me around and literally reading the tickets beside the exhibits to me...creeped me out royally. I ended up saying f**k it and just going up to the park....should have just went straight there in the first place as it turned out they were showing a lunchtime EPL game in their wee social club. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bloody hell?
