      I reguarly get leggless drunk on fine Scotch and beers in Dumfries. I am Irish and on a years work contract here. The Scotish people are great to get falling in the gutter drunk with as I do every Friday and Sat Night. Love the fish suppers when I crawl on hands and knees to the fish en chipper near the pubs... speaking drunkin gibberish that somehow Scots understand. I was rolled a few times. Some Scots Git robbed my wallet with about 300 quid of my wages still in it, when I was on my knees mouldy drunk.
      The Scotish bastard hit me over the skull with a glass coke bottle. I was bleeding. Someone called an Ambulance. I was never right in the head after that

    I was visiting Glasgow at the end of November 2007. While buying a pack of cigarettes locals realised that I am from Croatia and Croatia won a qualifying football match against England at Wembley a couple of days prior. They ended up literally carrying me to a nearby pub and paying for my drinks, after that they took me to a club with them, I met a lovely girl there and ended up staying in Glasgow until after the new year. Those were the days. Much love to Scotland from Croatia.

    I play in pubs around Scotland (I lived down south for a while too), and the only hassle I've ever had has been in the big chain pubs. All the wee ones that are meant to be dodgy or are full of locals are usually the best places. As long as your not an eejit the folk are great and there are some real gems.

    Down south try Luton, Basildon, Hounslow, Peterborough, or Chelmsley Wood- which is West Midlands.

      lol Bathgate dodgy? Its a commuter town with links to Edinburgh and Glasgow (a lot of professional people), has a community theatre and a bit too many posh venues to be dodgy. All the old mens pubs which could have been classed as dodgy are shut or have been revamped. Apart from Linlithgow its probably the safest place in West Lothian.

A good pal of mine from Bathgate couldn't wait to leave the place. Now granted that was 25 years ago. Are you telling me that Bathgate has gone through a massive improvement programme since then? It would have to have tens or maybe hundreds of millions spent on the place, huge housing developments, masses of brand new sports and arts facilities opened up along with many coffee shops and top restaurants. Under the SNP I'd be amazed especially as they have been cooking the books and helping themselves to tax payers money and buying themselves top of the range motorhomes 🤣

Guinness... more often than not though this is not a great idea... it seems a shame that ales native to these islands are poorly kept... and I'm not going down the Foster's, Carling, Coors road.

    Mate at the end of your last video you said your were going to check out Glasgow's roughest estates in your next video and i click on here to see your doing a video on Dumfries? Mate just to tell you the housing scheme's and pubs of Glasgow and the run down town of Dumfries are non comparable. No disrespect to the people of Dumfries or the town itself by the way but it's like trying to compare somewhere like county durham with the bronx. Just because it has reputation doesn't mean it actually is rougher in anyway. Possil park or the shettleston/tollcross area of Glasgow would have been interesting if you fimed in of those schemes or govan for that matter but Dumfries? C,mon now.
