  • I have friends living there for about 15 years now and I've never had any problems when visiting them. OK, it's a little rough around the edges and the transport links and amenities aren't the best but it's way better than it used to be. There's a bunch of walking trails up the back too and some Neolithic cup and ring stones if you know where to look. To suffice, there are worse places to live in in the West of Scotland. (Not a ringing endorsement I know but I definitely wouldn't agree that it's a shithole). by macjihad (Wed 15th Dec 2021 1:37pm)
