    As someone English who has moved to Inverness i have no idea what he is talking about.

      I was in Inverness, Glasgow, Edinburgh last year for weeks. Inverness if one of the most beautiful and serene places I have been to in the world. I live in a big city in the USA. I hope to go back to Inverness this year. I walked around day and night, and the people were the friendliest in all of the places I visited in Scotland. I wish I could live there to keep up my study of highland music and WW1 Scottish regiments - 6 months a year. Use the time to learn and explore the breathtaking beauty. This AI generated video is insane. WOW - if one were generated about a big US city it would be dystopian - and I like where I live now.

    Stirling really isn't seen as a 'chav' town. It's very expensive and considered quite posh by those of us in the surrounding area - or at least some parts are. It's also a major tourist site, has a beautiful Castle, a University, lovely countryside, and a fascinating history. I lSame with Inverness and Falkirk. Stirling, Falkirk and Inverness are pretty safe though and certainly not rife with murders - only Glasgow really has that problem, murders aren't something that are very common in Scotland. I live about eight miles from Stirling and roughly fifteen from Falkirk. The Forth Valley is a beautiful area, with lovely countryside and a great history. We do have a lot of poverty, unemployment and a drug problem but it's certainly not a murder hotspot and most places in it are pretty safe. I love my home area of Clackmannanshire and I would certainly recommend that visitors to Scotland go to Stirling, Falkirk and when travelling north, to Inverness. To be honest, this video and the one about Worst English Towns unfortunately come across as very snobbish.

    Every town has a no go area and always has, even before the drug scene. Eighty years ago when I was a child in a Scottish town, ( I won’t say which one, ) there were rough areas. Even or more so in Victorian times. Poverty is not always the cause, there are just some people who don’t want to live within the law and cling together like a pack of feral animals.

      I have been to all of these places. and I have not seen the things he has said in this video.
      Kilmarnock is going down hill the last visit and more shops are boarded up.
      I would say that places like Maypole with few shops and a main road with trucks which are making the windows and stone dirty is a worst place to be. even along the road in Girvan the main high street has many closed businesses.
      there are quite a few places were there shops are limited types, hair dressers, bookmakers, takeaways only open after 5pm,
      or were high parking charges make places not worth visiting.

      It is something more than ironic that the photographs don’t sync with the commentary. That a picture is worth a thousand words is something which the creator should think about very deeply. It appears that this person hasn’t done so, so far. Let us learn from the Americans, who interview, for example, University students, to point out just how ignorant they are of the rest of the world. This series has the hall mark of someone who uses Google maps for his picture collection and whose research essentially stems from some government agency whose definition of poverty is something different from what some of us have known in the past.

    Thing about Scotland is it’s the cities that sit in this weird juxtaposition between the more anglicised central lowlands but still trying to cling on to their Scots identity that always seem to fair the worst, and I say this as someone in one of those towns.
    Look at the towns/cities, though. Falkirk, Stirling, Coatbridge, Airdrie, Paisley… you could draw a line from just outside Edinburgh around Glasgow through my hometown, Dumbarton (which featured in many of the Wedt Dunbartonshire pics, including at the end of my street).

The car was set alight alongside the house. Why because they "englified" They got out pretty quick and back to the South West of England, at huge finacial loss. It's time the majority stood up against the minority and stopped letting themselves be shit all over.

    I'm surprised that Stirling and Inverness are on this list. Both certainly have districts of a certain notoriety, but where doesn't? Elsewhere they're reasonably prosperous! Also, West Dunbartonshire is an entire council area, not a town, and it's inclusion here does seem rather unfair. Sure, there are some rough areas; but by no means does it all fall into that category - and if we're talking rough council areas, then where, pray, is Inverclyde, or West Lothian? Again, both also have very nice parts. I'd suggest you maybe go and do some more research before you do further character asssination of struggling communities.

    you have used the same start as another worse Scotland video done.
    the start place looks like Oban fly over the place. yet that is a place not in this video or the other video you did list.
    I have visited these places. and I see problems with shops closing which make the area look run down. with this comes high unemployment and money, so many will be unhappy and drink and use drugs to escape.
    I don't think that the way a place is the worst should be based on lack of jobs. its not the people fault that government and employers are not providing jobs to the area. Any city or town can have the problem you have listed.
    But Cumbernauld was a big error in building. far too many stairs up and down, dead end corners just to have shops on both side of a road. But with that it has a good number of shops. clean paths, good lighting. just confusing to visit for new visitors.
