Worst Places to Live in Scotland

  • What are the worst places to live in Scotland? As one of the great countries making up the United Kingdom, Scotland is under serious internal and external pressure to live up to the standard expected of the UK. Thus, those living in Scotland, or hoping to move to Scotland one day have reasons to hope that they are or will be living in one of the best places. Just like every other great nation, however, cities and towns in Scotland don’t have all factors and amenities working for them equally. Some of them are not so good. Let me share with you the worst places to live in Scotland.
    Please note that these worst places to live in Scotland are by no means the worst places to live in the world. As I said earlier, Scotland as a part of the UK is one of the places people are dying to live. Thus, living in Scotland and being gainfully employed there, you should consider yourself very fortunate. Yet, the following places are some of those that Scots don't what to live, from my finding and my research.
    8. Falkirk
    Let’s start with Falkirk, a town in the Central Lowlands of Scotland that is historically in the county of Stirlingshire. It’s is the main town and administrative center of the unitary Falkirk council area. This town is in the Forth Valley, 23.3 miles northwest of Edinburgh and 20.5 miles northeast of Glasgow. Despite its rich history and location at the Forth and Clyde and Union Canals junction which has once proved key to its growth, Falkirk is one of the worst places to live in Scotland.
    In the review by one of the residents, education is not given priority in the town. Yes, the town is home to the largest of the four campuses of Forth Valley College. Yet, the majority of the students are probably not from Falkirk. The efforts of the eight high schools which were recently rebuilt appear not to be good enough to erase the derogatory description of Falkirk as the ‘ned capital of Scotland’.
    Getting on the roads of this town, you see some folks displaying publicly their low social standing and education. You also see needless violent dispositions borne out of their inability to accurately judge situations.
    7. Coatbridge
    Coatbridge, a town in North Lanarkshire, some 9 miles east of Glasgow city center in the central Lowlands is another one of the worst places to live in Scotland. This town, with Airdrie its neighbor, as a part of the Greater Glasgow urban area, is where you'll find a lot of junkies with one of them ready to accost you.
    The ancient town with the earliest known settlements dating back to the Stone Age is described by a disgruntled resident as nightmarish, adding: “You see them (the locals) everywhere swaggering and grunting at each other in their version of English with all the slang.” Others interviewed claimed that at any time you walk down a street, you’ll surely find something burning, be it a house, a car, or even a child’s bike.
    The issues of miscreants’ dominance of the town’s major centers make this town one of the worst places to live in Scotland. In afternoons, you can be sure they’ll be in the stores looking for freebies and, in the night, looking for who to rob or what to vandalize.

    Every town has a no go area and always has, even before the drug scene. Eighty years ago when I was a child in a Scottish town, ( I won’t say which one, ) there were rough areas. Even or more so in Victorian times. Poverty is not always the cause, there are just some people who don’t want to live within the law and cling together like a pack of feral animals.

    Stirling really isn't seen as a 'chav' town. It's very expensive and considered quite posh by those of us in the surrounding area - or at least some parts are. It's also a major tourist site, has a beautiful Castle, a University, lovely countryside, and a fascinating history. I lSame with Inverness and Falkirk. Stirling, Falkirk and Inverness are pretty safe though and certainly not rife with murders - only Glasgow really has that problem, murders aren't something that are very common in Scotland. I live about eight miles from Stirling and roughly fifteen from Falkirk. The Forth Valley is a beautiful area, with lovely countryside and a great history. We do have a lot of poverty, unemployment and a drug problem but it's certainly not a murder hotspot and most places in it are pretty safe. I love my home area of Clackmannanshire and I would certainly recommend that visitors to Scotland go to Stirling, Falkirk and when travelling north, to Inverness. To be honest, this video and the one about Worst English Towns unfortunately come across as very snobbish.

      Kilmarnock is going down hill the last visit and more shops are boarded up.
      I would say that places like Maypole with few shops and a main road with trucks which are making the windows and stone dirty is a worst place to be. even along the road in Girvan the main high street has many closed businesses.
      there are quite a few places were there shops are limited types, hair dressers, bookmakers, takeaways only open after 5pm,
      or were high parking charges make places not worth visiting.

      It is something more than ironic that the photographs don’t sync with the commentary. That a picture is worth a thousand words is something which the creator should think about very deeply. It appears that this person hasn’t done so, so far. Let us learn from the Americans, who interview, for example, University students, to point out just how ignorant they are of the rest of the world. This series has the hall mark of someone who uses Google maps for his picture collection and whose research essentially stems from some government agency whose definition of poverty is something different from what some of us have known in the past.

    Thing about Scotland is it’s the cities that sit in this weird juxtaposition between the more anglicised central lowlands but still trying to cling on to their Scots identity that always seem to fair the worst, and I say this as someone in one of those towns.
    Look at the towns/cities, though. Falkirk, Stirling, Coatbridge, Airdrie, Paisley… you could draw a line from just outside Edinburgh around Glasgow through my hometown, Dumbarton (which featured in many of the Wedt Dunbartonshire pics, including at the end of my street).
    There’s honestly no coincidence

Its a city it has a couple of rough areas but overall its a lovley very friendly place and sorrounded by some of the best scenery in europe for which millions flock to see every year.

The car was set alight alongside the house. Why because they "englified" They got out pretty quick and back to the South West of England, at huge finacial loss.

    Scotland is not pleasant place to live. I have been living here since 2006 and so good few years now. Houses are horrible, all grey, dump and covered with moss (thanks to high humidity), build quality is very poor (from plumbing to plastering). Quality of services is poor. The weather is not a myth. You wake up on a Monday morning, getting outside and guess what? The sky is grey, the road is grey, the houses you passing by are grey, it's raining and all you want is to hide. You immediately feel down, anxiety here I come. You get odd, good "warmish" sunny day but that's it .. I am writing this on 27th of May with super duper weather outside with amazing temperature of 12 degrees. Sorry Scotland. You are pretty in some areas but in rural spots...nahhhh, thank you.

    you have used the same start as another worse Scotland video done.
    the start place looks like Oban fly over the place. yet that is a place not in this video or the other video you did list.
    I have visited these places. and I see problems with shops closing which make the area look run down. with this comes high unemployment and money, so many will be unhappy and drink and use drugs to escape.
    I don't think that the way a place is the worst should be based on lack of jobs. its not the people fault that government and employers are not providing jobs to the area. Any city or town can have the problem you have listed.
    But Cumbernauld was a big error in building. far too many stairs up and down, dead end corners just to have shops on both side of a road. But with that it has a good number of shops. clean paths, good lighting. just confusing to visit for new visitors.
