Sorry for spelling, its cold here this morning and fingers and thumbs hitting wrong keys.
My wife is Russian and Ive been away for 15 years. I was trying to explain to my wife how there used to be many different 'housing schemes' with different attitudes etc, house styles and people. Does anyone have any old pictures or old/new pictures or stories of the schemes to relate to her.
From my memory there was almost an unseen pride in having the toughest, roughest schemes and am wondering also if the new developments that have taken place have changed the scheme mentality.

You might struggle for anyone on here to answer seeing as the funny lot next door think we’re all fae Angus 😂
Hulltoon still nuts as ever even without the multis, middle of the hill still bad. And bottom full of junkies. TOTH are building houses where multis sat and on hill street
Lochee is full of junkies especially the two multis, high street is a sad place these day’s especially for the elderly.
Stoby is full of Eastern European’s and Asians oh and junkies, Baxter park terrace over ran with hookers at night
Charleston hasn’t really changed still a few able families there
Ardler a million times better since new development a few years back totally unrecognisable
St Mary’s still pretty bad in certain areas but then it’s much like anywhere else, good parts and bad parts
Meenie isn’t that bad now multis have been pulled down, the rock bars getting knocked down if not knocked down already
Mid a lot better but still full of nutters get the usual armed response drug bust once a month
Mill o mains is unrecognisable now they’ve ripped down the tenements
Fintry still policed by the locals so nae issues there
Whitfield better now no multis
Trottick just a wee quiet place now
West end still full of fannys
Dryburgh is quiet and no issues
Beechy now has £250k + houses built on it with a Land Rover and Jaguar garage and currently being built is the new John Clark BMW
Kirkton still a very ‘able’ scheme a bit like fintry policed by the locals
Hula hasn’t changed relatively quiet
All in all, better, we’ve a junkie problem but what city doesn’t. Still all pretty nuts but nothing where you’d feel unsafe
