Before I start and people get touchy - yes, I am aware that there are ****ty areas in England that are as bad, if not worse, than those in Scotland. Anyway, over the last few years, for some reason, a lot of the books I've been reading have been set in in Scotland. 3 series of novels by 3 authors, each based in a different city. Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen are all painted in a pretty dim light to be honest, but which is the ****tiest? Over to you.
I think the evidence speaks for itself: http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-news/ferguslie-park-in-paisley-is-scotlands-most-1495672 http://www.sdf.org.uk/news-and-medi...trenched-poverty-in-scotland-s-poorest-areas/
Who are the authors ? I`ve found that now Ive moved away from scotland Im reading books that are set in scotland that I`d never bothered with before.
...and in answer to the question in the OP, I spent a bit of time working in possilparks health centre - a misnomer if there ever was - and if there is a worse ****hole then it must be like Event Horizon on steroids.
Glasgow's city centre pisses on any other in Scotland The areas like possil park et al are ****ing dire though
Probably Edinburgh, though it was Leith to be fair. Edinburgh - Irvine Welsh Glasgow - Craig Russell Aberdeen - Stuart McBride
If it was Trainspotting then it was set in Edinburgh during the 1980s. The fact they had to film most of it in Glasgow in the 90s tells its own story Leith's been yuppified.
Probably true but still full of minks and junkies and still worse than the smelliest part of Aberdeen. I lived in Tilly for 2 years and only got robbed twice.
