TitleWhat the hell is wrong with Glasgow?

Me and my gf decided to go to Scotland this year. We went during august and were there for 15 days. We visited Edinburgh, Aberdeen, Inverness, Portree, Fort William, Oban and our last stop was in Glasgow. Scottish people are one of the most friendliest people we have ever meet. Everywhere we went people were so polite and kind. They have such beautiful and rich history. So many dramatic and breathtaking landscapes. All in all it was amazing.


And then we ended up in Glasgow. We booked a hotel in the city centre and stayed there for 3 days. First of all, I have never seen so much trash in my life. Trash bins were overflowing with trash and there was trash literally everywhere on the floor. We were walking around Buchanan Street during broad daylight and there were some junkies yelling and threating somebody in the middle of the street and there wasn't a single police officer there to stop them. Day after some random homeless guy (probably high as fuck or out of his mind) shouted at us for no reason. Later that day some group of teens tried to give us some grief by catcalling my gf, and so on. Every day we had a similar strange encounters on the streets and I don't even want to comment how many homeless and junkies we saw. Keep in mind this was all happening in city centre. By the end I can honestly say we didn't really feel safe there.


I only have few questions. Are we just unlucky? Or maybe we were in the wrong place at the wrong time? Is the city centre a "bad" part of town? I am sorry if I offended anybody with this post, I am really trying not to be rude to the people who are living there. I am genuinely interested because I have a friend that is also traveling to Glasgow soon and he wants to hear my opinion on it and I am not really sure what to tell him.
