Cant believe people still continue to slag off areas to live.Since my arrival in Scotland I have lived in 5 different towns/cities.There is one glaring thing I found in Scotland to be true.EVERY single town/village etc has its own hellhole.The reason being that EVERY town/village suffers from having its own Council Housing Estate(known as a Scheme locally).Some just have slightly bigger ones than others.
Here are a few things to weigh up.......
How many murders have there been in the last 12 months in the so called "places to avoid"?And what about Ayr?
How many times have you read the local rag,and noticed the number of crimes that get committed in Troon,Prestwick etc.
Everyone raves about the nightlife in Ayr and Prestwick,but how many of us know of people getting assaulted?We all do.
ALL places have their good spots and bad spots,so why continue to pretend otherwise(Even Alloway now has its own "scheme" in the new development at the bypass!!)
Finally,telling people to avoid North & East Ayrshire is silly.There are many nice areas within these counties.Nobody has mentioned the Irvine Bay Regeneration for instance.Equally,South Ayrshire gets people saying its a must.Not all of it,surely?
