Squirrelhumper Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 What a load of sh1te! There are countless Scottish towns that aren't on that list. Can we start a new game of towns that aren't on that list? I'll get the ball rolling with a few I've been to Largs Ardrossan Girvan Portree Fort William Stranraer Can't even be bothered continuing. Reckon there could be hundreds. Also not withstanding all the east coasters jibe about loads being just Glasgow, surely the likes of Rutherglen, Cambuslang, Bearsden, Newton Mearns etc are really just Glasgow. Largs Stevenston Dalry Fairlie Kilbirnie West Kilbride Beith And that's just North Ayrshire! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. It's either in Glasgow or it isn't - none of the above mentioned are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marky Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 No. It's either in Glasgow or it isn't - none of the above mentioned are. OK. I genuinely thought they were. And I come from somewhere less than 10 miles from all of them. Thanks for the education. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armchair Bob Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 St Kilda? Iona? Scalasaig? In what way are places with less than 100 population (0 in the case of St Kilda) towns? And where is Dalkeith, Eyemouth, Haddington, Kirkcudbright, Selkirk, Melrose, Montrose? Despite that, I've still been to 81 of them. One or two gems of Ayrshire/Renfrewshire I've managed to avoid.

Rossy Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 I realise that about half these 55 I've been to have come through following the Dons. If I supported a shite wee team like Stranraer, Berwick, Rangers or Livingston my total would have went up to about 78. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mariokempes56 Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 75 but way too many missing. Kelso, Lauder etc . In fact a load ae shite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mindimoo Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 52 but like others loads not listed that I've been to. Keith Nairn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fairbairn Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Linwood another one that's missing. Population of around 10K surely makes it a town! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dipped flake Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 62 for me, many of these due to football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I supported a perfumed discharge wee team like Stranraer, Berwick, Rangers or Livingston my total would have went up to about 78. You not from Fife? Had you supported your local side your total would be higher too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wanderer Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 59..... most through the football, three or four touristy or with the Scouts, but fair share my work have sent me to for jobs in the back of beyond. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbcmfc Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 Why aren't visit Scotland sending tourists to Bellshill and Wishaw? I got 54, thought I was on for 80 odds, but hardly been anywhere on the 3rd page. Should have some more Lanarkshire ones! I've been to most of the towns in labarkshire.

I've always thought the way to get tourists to Lanarkshire is to turn the county into a tolerance zone for soft drugs. Think of all the pot heads who would flock to the brown cafe scene that would flourish after such a change, bringing money into the economy of an otherwise unvisited part of Scotland.

Kittymeister Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 83 for me. A mixture of football and work. Agree that there are a few missing that should be included. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killiefaetheferry Posted August 12, 2015 Share Posted August 12, 2015 61. Might be a few more as until I was about 12, all our family holidays were up in the Highlands. Quite a lot of mine were one time deals through playing football, watching Killie in the second Division (only missed the infamous Methil trip), and chasing burds. Like others, there are a few I've been to not mentioned - Stoneybridge, Brigadoon etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
