The Butt of Lewis?
John O' Groats?

What's a shortlist?

Glenrothes can't be that bad; after all, they make one of the finest single-malt Scotches around.

The Thnikkaman: What's a shortlist?

It's like the shortbus, remember?

this year's Carbuncle Awards

Can't you go to the clinic and get a shot for that?

Submitter sounds like the kind of clueless dickhead who has to resort to racial stereotypes to get his pointless links greenlit.

I would have liked to have seen...Scotland.

/can't believe Robin Williams died.

Hey, I resemble that remark! I mean I resent that remark. I said RESENT.

/not subby.

The Plook on a Plinth.

What a splendid word - Plook.

I wonder if Burns ever used it.

It's his 200th anniversary today. Not a bloody thing on TV, so here's a quotation, in his honour.

When first my brave Johnie lad came to this town,
He had a blue bonnet that wanted the crown;
But now he has gotten a hat and a feather,
Hey, brave Johnie lad, cock up your beaver!

Cock up your beaver, and cock it fu' sprush,
We'll over the border, and gie them a brush;
There's somebody there we'll teach better behaviour,
Hey, brave Johnie lad, cock up your beaver!

Still no word on the worst toilet in Scotland?

Motherwell is pretty bad. I had friends living there and every time Id go visit it was a very depressing drive.

Just in time for Robert Burns' Birthday.

/haught

I live in Scotland so i'm really gettin' a kick oot 'a' these replies.

grinderman: Just in time for Robert Burns' Birthday.

They're all ready for that down at my nearest scotmid, they actually have a little display with haggis, some sort of soup, multi packs of tennants and irn-bru.

I see they've never been to Omaha, Nebraska.

Sorry for the threadjack: it's (or it was) in Fort William, not Glenrothes - but it came up in my search for images of Glenrothes... if it was bigger, I'd submit it for a Photoshop competition:

I NEED one of those for my garden. You can shove your little girly hanging baskets.

Surely the award should go to the town nearest the border with England every year.

opiumpoopy: Glenrothes architecture:

Dude...looks like they stacked mobile homes on top of each other.

Tralfamadorian sounds like one of those clueless and reactionary idiots who thinks 'Scottish' is a race.

"If it isn't Scottish, it's CRAP!"

The sweetest hours that ere I spent I spent among the lassies, O!.Link (new window)For those who only know Auld Lang Syne another of Robbie's songs for his 250th birthday.

/ Nope, not Scottish
// Crapstone, England

What, no North Kilt Town?

New Cumnock?

ZING!! +1!
/lolz

What? "We believe the truly depressing places are the ones which could be great, but are stifled by a lack of imagination, creativity and passion"??

New Cumnock could be great? Absolutely not. And Glenrothes? No, not a chance. In fact for a whole series of truly depressing holes just drive east from Ayr along the A70 or A71. Lovely.
