Needed to go to Inverkeithing on my way to the game from Aberdeenshire yesterday, so as a consequence to get to Rugby Park, drove this road for the first time in my life.
What an interesting experience of central belt schemieness this was.
I already knew from bitter experience that Livingston was a depressing hole, but all the other places were almost unknown to me - West Calder, Newmains, Bonkle (!), Overtown, Stonehouse, Darvel, Galston...has anything of note happened in any of these places?
Dodgy looking kebab shops, boarded up premises and dilapidated council-style housing seemed to dominate...I never realised so much of the third world still existed within Scotland.
I'd heard of Strathaven though and it didn't seem that bad - but almost ended up in Larkhall, which I've heard is a disturbing experience for anyone.
Are these the kind of towns that breed all these sellik and Sevco muppets?

West Calder is a fine wee toon. More than enough boozers for its size. It has a pretty evenly balanced mixture of fitba' fans.
If you sheep-shaggers knew anything about the Scottish shale industry, then you would know how important West Calder and West Lothian in general was during the 19th and 20th centuries. My maternal ancestors worked in it. - view external link

If it wasn't for oil Aberdeen would be a Paisley with water.

Torry's a fine area full of salt of the earth types.
Would be middle class if it was situated in Glesga.

You and I both know that's a lot of shyte, Dingle. For one of the riches cities in Britain to have that amount of poverty and desolation contained within it, is quite frankly, a disgrace.

If it wasn't for Aberdeen the central belt would be like Saudi without the oil - featureless landscapes,indecipherable language and full of intolerant, religious fanatics.
You lot should be much,much more grateful.

Compared to Possil,Ruchazie,Govanhill,Govan,Cranhill etc,Torry is heaven.
And let's not bring North Ayrshire into it.
