Scotland's most depressing town...blimey. Where do you even start?
😃
Obviously didn't stop in Cumbernauld !!!
No, but think I need to visit😀
My wee mum isobel worked in the bar and my granny worked upstairs in the kitchen in the horseshoe bar.
Oh cool😊 It must've been an interesting place to work with so many stories to tell
Dae a pub crawl on maryhill rd.
Could be another pub crawl video 😃
The Laurieston and The Old Toll Bar are consistently my favourites (and for many others) for different reasons.
Haven't been to either of them - will need to give them a try😊
It has a brewery... Cannae be that bad!
Now that's a fair point😄
really has no one been to Falkirk town centre recently ?
Been to Falkirk a few weeks ago, but not the town centre. Will need to visit some time😃
Alloa is not as bad as Dunoon
Have only been on a flying visit to Dunoon-maybe need to visit again!😄😊
Lets NOT go to the crap places , we will just go to the nicer cleaner parts,, then state , awe its not to bad......show the lot ffs or get AF youtube, p/s you can hear the banjo's
👍
The ILiveHere ' survey' was based on two comments. I grew up and still live in Alloa. It has many problems but people are friendly, the history is great, the countryside is stunning😊. Unfortunately there was a lot of urban planning , sixties style but we have kept a lot of our bonny old buildings.
No way- was thinking more people completed the survey than leaving comments. But that makes complete sense - the survey isn't representative. Alloa is a lovely town and we'd definitely go back. 😊
Go see Wick pizza place doest open when you there
Thanks, will need to check out at some point😊
The only good thing to come out of Wick is the road South. 😂
@@user-xk4jx1xl7f Ha Ha haahaha haaa, hahaha ha
Aberdeen,,alloa,,,,probably just alphabetical??
Maybe your're on to something😀
Alloa looks ok from this. I think they reopened the rail station there recently. Now if you want depressing towns surely Cumbernauld is your man!
Haha I've never been to Cumbernauld!😀 Yea, Alloa turned out to be pretty nice -just shows that this survey wasn't representative!
Scotland really needs to brighten up it's architecture. Going from my sunny Northumbria to Scotland is like somebody turning off the lights on a beautiful day. LIVELY YOURSELVES UP SCOTLAND. STOP BEING SO DRAB
And the same applies to County Durham. stop living in the dark ages!
Ah that's an interesting point. Personally, I've always liked Scottish architecture, but maybe that's just because I have a grey personality😂
I think that it tends to be more common in coastal buildings in Scotland where they were coloured for visibility. Also, most of our buildings are Victorian when the tend was for darker coloured buildings. What you get in Scotland is a lot of white or dark red buildings.. Then you get places like Stirling Castle, where the Great Hall is yellow because they have historical proof it was a golden colour. These buildings are not looking their best just now, but the difference between how they looked 40 years ago, when there were many industries in the town centre, is night and day..A lot of them are listed as well, so I think they would need proof that the building was coloured .
It just gets better and better as you travel south. Middlesbrough is like the Emerald City.
Give hootenanny a visit
Good shout-we've been meaning to visit, but forgot about it (so many pubs to choose from😀)
Nice city is Perth. I visited the Black Watch Museum about seven years ago with my cousin as his dad was a soldier with the Black Watch, we found his name in the records, a very interesting place. Great vlog guys....wine rack 🤣🤣. Like 33.
That's amazing that you managed to find the name of your cousin's dad. Haha yea, you never know when you find a 'wine rack'😆😂
For someone who disnae drink much whisky you are both never oot of distilleries! 😂🤣🤣 Great vlog guys! like 47 👍👍
That's very true😂😂Thank you😊
Alloa is nice area, dollar glen is great walking trail with wooden bridges
Yea, Alloa is really nice😊Good shout - will add the trail to our list😊
BBC tv series Hamish MacBeth was filmed in Plockton....beautiful little village. 👍👍like 97.
Yea, it's a beautiful wee village to film TV series 😊
Alloa's ok, I have family who live there, great vlog guys! like 3. 👍👍
That's cool! Think Alloa has got a lot to offer😊Thank you😊
The title of this video does not really encourage me to watch it but I gave it a go and it was not a bad place. I liked the tower. The trouble with these so called surveys is that they encourage people to paint an amusing but inaccurate picture of a place and subsequent comments try to outdo each other in tales of street crime, drug use, teenage pregnancy, unemployment etc etc.. There may be a grain of truth in this but I'm sure there's plenty worse places. You should have checked out the Wetherspoon that would tell you a lot about a place. Thanks for giving this a try but I do prefer your trips to some of the beautiful places Scotland has to offer.
Thanks for taking the time for watching, really appreciate it!😊 We take these surveys with a pinch of salt as often, as you said, they paint an inaccurate picture of the place they're describing. Alloa is a place we've never been to and it definitely seemed that it has plenty to offer. 😊
@@terrifictraveltalesthank you for being so nice about Alloa. Yes, it has it's problem s but it gets unfairly criticised even by locals. Heck, even the local paper published this article. I think only bored teenagers post comments on ILiveHere😅
Try Alloa, the surrounding countryside is beautiful ( Ochil Hills, River Forth)
@@evelynwilson1566 We've actually got a trip planned to the Ochil Hills🙂
Excellent video guys! like 29 .
Thank you😊
Thank god for Wetherspoons ❤
Exactly!😊🤣
I've been to Portree a few times... I remember being in a pub and this group of girls in highland dress came in and started doing scottish dancing....I thought they were local girls but no, they came from Easterhouse in Glasgow. 😂😂. like 29.
That's class😂You never know what to expect in Scottish pubs😂
I think I've got sea sickness...thanks for sharing! 👍👍
Aw, sea sickness can really ruin the ferry trip! 😮
Eleven things to do.....go see an old firm football game. 😊😊
Yes! How could I forget?😀
Great video guys!
Thank you!😊
Luskentyre beach is beautiful, thanks for sharing guys. 👍👍
It really is!😊
That was a shame you never got a cafe....better taking food with you maybe....nice wee island though. 🙏👍
Yea, we need to remember when we next visit remote places or islands. Can recommend Scalpay, it's a lovely wee island😊
Kerrera is a lovely little island....you need to do the north route sometime as the views of the islands are amazing. Thanks for sharing guys! 🙏👍
Yea, we really need to go back and do the North route.😊 There's just so many places in Scotland we want to visit or revisit...don't know where to start🤣
@@terrifictraveltales 😂
Every one of them empty 😳
Yea, we tried to get in as the first ones because we didn't want to disturb other people in the pubs😊
Al classic pubs but you missed The State between The Griffin and The Pot Still!
Good shout! We'll need to visit the State at our next pub crawl 😊
Great video, loved the drone shots. like 88. 🙏👍
Thank you 😊 Our drone (which we named Daisy) turned out to be the purchase of the year!
@@terrifictraveltales Do you plan for the good weather? it makes such a difference to the videos.👍
Yea, we do try to get out on sunny days. But that really doesn't always work out and we've found ourselves in pouring rain🤣
Thanks for showing us the beautiful island of Gigha guys and lovely sunshine once again. Btw it's the white sands of Morar just before Mallaig. like 37. 🙏👍.
Thank you! Gigha was brilliant and would love to go back. Oh yea, I'd forgotten the name😃
I've been in six of those pubs over the years but not recently. Great video btw. 🙏👍.
Thank you😊do you have a favourite?
@@terrifictraveltales I would say the Clutha for great live music and atmosphere, there's videos on UA-cam.
The Scotia is great too.
Yea, we really like the Clutha and Scotia. We'd only been to the Clutha before our pub crawl, but the Scotia could become one of our favourites😊
Nice wee town/village is Inveraray..did you not visit the castle? like 50. 👍
It really is! No, we didn't have enough time to visit the castle. Just another reason to visit Inveraray again😊
These videos are very addictive....I like how you always take the sunshine with you. I loved the view of the Bass rock from the castle, thanks again guys! like 37. 😊
Aww, thank you😊 Finding the sun in Scotland is pretty hard, but we're trying to film as much as we can when the weather is good!
A nice wee island, I liked your trip through the jungle. 😊like 35.👍
Haha thank you😊You never know where you end up on these small islands!
Great paddle steamer which I have been on twice many years ago...you should've carried on to Dunoon, the scenery is breathtaking....thanks again guys, like 67.
Oh cool, was it both times the same route?😊 Yea, the next time we will carry on to Dunoon because we enjoyed it so much!
Fantastic video with beautiful weather, I hope you got the train back, thanks for sharing guys. like 50.
Oh yea, we did. We were far too tired to film on the train back😄
Great video!!
Thank you😊
PS Waverley - beautiful & well maintained paddle steamer still being used.
Yes, she really is😊
The accent comments are strange because you sound Scottish, almost rural west coast.
To be honest, I've never thought about my accent so much until starting this channel🤣
Wind swept shit hole and I speak from two years of experience in the place and one of the worst schools in Scotland..
Yea, seems to be quite a windy place 😃
Excellent video. I look forward to seeing the Waverley sailing on the Thames later in the year!
Thank you😊 Definitely something to look forward to! Can imagine it's a great experience to sail the Waverley along the Thames
@@terrifictraveltales Yes - the highlight is usually sailing under Tower Bridge!
Yea, sounds fantastic😊
@@terrifictraveltales I see that they have a new Renfrew Yoker bridge in position now. My parents both grew up near there and tell me about the old Renfrew chain ferry that used to cross the Clyde. I believe that is is a floating entertainment venue in Glasgow now.
Yea, think the bridge is supposed to open in autumn😊 I see the Renfrew-Yoker is apparently still operating....getting some video ideas now! Thanks @ThamesShips 😊
Great video. She's a magnificent vessel. I hope that eventually the 'Maid of the Loch' will sail again one day.
Thank you😊She really is! That'll be great when the Maid of Loch sails again - would book a ticket straight away.
Happy memories. The Firth of Clyde in the 1950s and 60s was still criss-crossed by a busy network of steamers particularly in summer, including a few paddlers - I remember the “Jeannie Deans” as well as the “Waverley” - and as a child anywhere on that coast (I lived in Ayr) a day’s outing was a great treat and watching the huge pistons that drove those roaring paddles was guaranteed to impress a small boy.
Sounds like you had a few fantastic trips on the Clyde😊
Lovely video and like the car
Thank you😊 Iain will be buzzing that you like his car😃
Probably lack of any beach on Scalpay unlike Harris which are unbelievable. Tarbert was your best bet for a coffee etc but Sundays are a bit iffy for certain things due to religious restrictions but have eased a bit in recent years.
The beaches on Harris are unbelievable! But there's something about Scalpay that we really like - so would go back again. Yea, we noticed that some cafes etc were closed on Sundays - always need to remind myself when we're visiting Scottish islands 😊
Leave your bags on seat if you have to go elsewhere for a wee while.
Yea, we're probably too cautious leaving our bags somewhere - too scared of never seeing them again😂
