My wife wanted to go back to some of those places in the summer til I explained how the wee roads were full of twonks in camper vans who can't drive unless it's a freeway. A shame, as you say it's beautiful up there (been pre marketing). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2426255 Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Never been north past Inverness. The change in accent unnerves me as low as Fort William. The furthest I've been is Skye on the west coast and Inverness up the East coast. No fixed plans to go, just a vague idea that it needs done at some point. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leith Green Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Just remembered, I've never been to Arran. Something I think we need to rectify. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kennie makevin Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Never been to Broughty. Went to Broughty Ferry assuming it was an east coast Gourock - Dunoon type thing but sadly no. Never been to St Andrews or indeed Fife. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scotland has so much East Coast and West Coast that it was a novelty to think it also had a North Coast. Not any more. Ardnamurchan is a long drive. On both occasions that I went there, I then took the ferry to Tobermory and went back that way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every one should be dusted for prints and the perpetrators tracked down and kicked in the baws/fanny. c***s. Is this at Luss? The saddest thing about that is that nobody carries spare padlocks with them, they've actually gone to a shop and bought a padlock for the purposes of showing everyone what a c**t they are. Wouldn't surprise me if the gift shop in Luss is selling these at a fiver a go. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure Rabbie's musings were about depressing social housing right enough. However, for me that would have to go in a (shite) Places in Scotland you have been to thread. The Hebridean Islands are somewhere that I definitely do want to make the effort to get to. Some truly stunning scenery and beaches, and would love to spend a couple of weeks experiencing the island way of life. I need to make a point of it in the next couple of years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 I've never been to the Western Isles. I've not been to anywhere in Argyll, except for Oban when I was very small. I've not been to places like Largs or Millport or those sorts of places on that side of the country. I've been most places in the Highlands as a kid being dragged around places on outings, I've been most places in the Borders on holiday as my dad is from there. Prettty much anywhere with a football team I've been to as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CityDave94 Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 The Northern Isles I've been to Stornaway but never not explored the Western Isles including Skye. The corner of Scotland above Ullapool to Thurso, including Durness. Fife east of Kirkcaldy which includes St. Andrews. I've been to Mull and Iona but none of the other Hebrides. I've only walked up Ben Wyvis, no other Munros. Using football grounds as a reference for which towns and villages - Kelty, Pittmedden, Turriff, East Kilbride, Tranent, Blairgowrie, Kirriemuir, Carnoustie, Scone, Halkirk, Bonar Bridge, Maud, I've seen both Ellen and Dyce plenty of times from transport but never set foot on that land. Stonehaven, Longside, Broxburn, Crossgates, Cardenden, Haddington, Passing Luncarty on the A9 doesn't really count, Penicuik, Blackburn, Denny, Crosshill, Newtongrange, Oakley, Prestonpans, St. Andrews, Innerleithen, Whitburn, Rosewell, Armadale, Coldstream, Dalkeith, Easthouses, Ormiston, Peebles, Thornton, Bathgate, Fauldhouse, Harthill, Lochgelly, Stoneyburn, West Calder, West Linton, New Abbey, Creetown, Dalbeattie, Lochmaben, Lockerbie, Newton Stewart, Moffat, Wigtown, Sanquhar, Beith, Clydebank, Cumnock, Darvel, New Cumnock, Hurlford, Troon, Blantyre, Johnstone, Kilwinning, Maybole, Neilston, Renfrew (Town), Rutherglen, Shotts, Viewpark, Ardrossan, Dalmellington, Forth, Kilsyth, Muirkirk, Wishaw, Stevenston, Bellshill, Dalry, Girvan, Kirkconnel, Lanark (Town), Lesmahagow, Port Glasgow, Alexandria, Campbeltown, Giffnock, Lugar, Newmains, Saltcoats, Stonehouse, Banchory, Whitehills, Eyemouth, Duns. Plenty of these places I've passed through or by on public transport by never set foot on, I don't count them. Not too bothered about the town list and the football grounds, more interested in visiting Orkney, Shetland or any of the Western Islands now. Never been to Skye ffs I don't like these tourist ridden places very much. Still plenty of places away from people to visit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LuboMoravcik Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 Orkney. Shetland. Western Isles (excluding Skye, been there twice). The boaby shaped part of Scotland that heads down towards Cambletown. Pretty much anywhere in Ayshire that isn't Kilmarnock or Largs. Greenock, Dunoon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
