The best town in Scotland

[oisleep]

ladies & gentleman,

i give you Perth, the fair city

 

[dozzer]

Ain't Perth a city?

Hmmm - I really like Arbroath.



OI!

You can't do that - say the best town and then call it a city. Did you edit that...

 

[oisleep]

that's a good point dozzer, i didn't spot that incosistency

it's a town though is it not, but it's affectionaly called the fair city

perhaps another thread is in order to thrash this one out

best place in scotland for the meantime then, town, city or edinburgh

 

[dozzer]

Burger!!!!

Leith (a place in its own right, residents voted 4 to 1 against merging with Edinburgh), with its own San Siro.

I've got quite a bit of family in Perth, in that estate out by McDairmid Park and in the tower block by the bus station. The chips from that place on the bridge over the railway line by Craigie are the best I've tasted.

 

[oisleep]

yeah that craigie chipper is top, i lived in craigie for a about a year and a half

i went out with a girl from that estate near mcdairmid, maybe she was your cousinn or something

[jacobs steel]

I still say Oban

These Scottish treads would be easier to follow if they were in ONE forum

 

[oisleep]

i really don't think there is the traffic to justify a scottish forum

As my gran would say, "it's a small world, is it no?" My gran lives in Perth.

 

[dozzer]

My aunt and uncle and cousins live in Perth. In that estate up on a hill?

The one by McDairmid, on your way out to the cattle market.

 

[dozzer]

Erm, dunno. If you're travelling from erm, Stirling it's on your left before you get to Perth itself. (I think.)

 

[oisleep]

anyone remember or know off hunters estate in perth?

 

[jacobs steel]

Funnily enough, no. Do you know Oxgangs in Edinburgh?

 

[oisleep]

heard of it, was that the one they demolished a whole load of flat blocks a while back

Hopefully, twas a right tip a few years ago.

 

[inflatable jesus]

I'd say Oban.

I visited it for the first time a couple of months ago and really liked it.

 

[Here we go]

Yeah Oban is cool

 

[mazzamom]

I love Glasgow, but maybe that's my Glaswegian bias. Edinburgh makes me giddy, LOVE IT, i honeymooned there and can't get enough of the Royal mile and the castle. I love Arbroath too, my hubbys aunt lives there.

Dunbar - 3 excellent surfing beaches and its easy to get to from England

Technically Leith is in Edinburgh and has been since the 70s (I think, tho am willing to be corrected on that one). The Leith San Siro is in Edinburgh anyways. Not trying to bash Leith or anything - fucking love the place. Just feeeling like a bit of a pedant.

Whoever was talking about Oxgangs:
Yes it is the place where they knocked down the high-rises recently. Think I used to get coke from someone in one of those high rises. *shrugs*

Oh, my fave place in Scotland is probably Edinburgh. Better the devil you know and all that.
