Elgin - “Their Cathedral is in ruins” you absolute muppet the Cathedral was established in 1224. Most of the photos in this video are old and the comments are straight off google reviews and trip advisor reviews.
The moment Elgin even made the worst list I gave up taking is video seriously. It's bleak and good luck getting decent food (especially in lockdown, christ) but it is pretty and calm and the fact it got put over Rutherglen, Saltcoats, Kilmarnock, Johnstone, Livingstone, even Kirkintilloch deserved to be in over Elgin
It's a video written and produced by AI. Basically regurgitates stock footage and a few google reviews. I'm happy for Elgin to be on the list though if it keeps people away.
Unless this video is satire at its worst, then this guy has just made a random video about all the wee places outside of Glasgow, without looking at the actual demographics of each place. He’s taken his pre conceived ideas of what he thinks the population of Scotland is like, either from stereotypes or just a pure dislike of Scottish people. Scotland like everywhere has some dismal towns of course it does, but it’s also got some very beautiful towns, and you’ll find that most people here are hard working and decent. Not junkies or robbers as you say. It’s easy to find information about a locality without having to make it up. Have a look at the place standard tool for more information on small towns. Doing some research before making a video makes all the difference.
I recognise quite a few of the lines he used from a thing I saw where people from various towns were trying to make comedic reviews of their own towns in the most scathing way. I'm sure someone from anywhere can pick out the worst things from their town, ignore the positives and make the place sound rubbish. The only thing proven here is that these towns have some comedians in them.
They guy can't even say simple words like burgh. It comes out something like booorr when he could have used the mostly acceptable English translation of borough. Obviously never been to Scotland, probably not been outside his bedroom in his parent's house for over a decade. Needs to get out more, a walloper of the first rank.
It has a small village close to where i live. The villages name is Fordyce, its a nice wee village, no junkies or robbers, no crime actually. The primary school there is a lovely school, it has no bullys. And we also have Cornhill another wee village, a nice place too, the primary school there does have bullys. Over all Scotland is beautiful, some town, citys and villages may be better than others but most of the places are really cool and we just have to learn to appreciate that.
How do you define 'worst' ? You describe worst place to live in Scotland? Then you place Elgin as number 10 on comments from people that visited there ? Really? You place Elgin in 10th from visitors as 10th worst place to live ? If it was the 10th worst to visit then that might be fair , but living there would include cost of living , services, amenities, air quality, climate, environment, and lot's of other qualities? Don't you think ? I didn't make it to 9th .
Hey, Jimmy, where the heck is Moore - ay? And Arbor-lore? And Dally-ell? And what's a Burrr? This is hilarious. But congratulations for pronouncing Greenock correctly.
As an Englishman who's been to Bonnie Scotland many times over the last 30 odd years I find this video laughable, yeah you can find plenty of not so nice places in every country if you look for them, and how the hell is Elgin in the top 10!!, For me personally it is one of the nicest parts of the country.
Elgin has a better library and museum than where I live in Inverness, and Cooper Park can be lovely in summer. The Cathedral is an ancient ruin due to various disasters that happened to it in its ancient past. It is a tourist attraction and virtue, the compilers don't seem to get history. Also Elgin has nearby countryside and is situated in great travelling distance of many other local attractions, beaches and amenities. Maybe in itself not one of the finest places to live in Scotland, if you are on a housing estate. Still compared to many others, Glenrothes, industrial towns etc, I can't figure out why it's even made it into the list?
@@michaelstuartesson4377 They have software that reads text using a sampled voice.. so I presume it's an auto generated voice. The worst ones read out 'celebrity 'deaths or 'the sad ending of''. Top lists of this and that are particularly suspect... but here I am having been drawn into viewing and commenting on one!
Can we hold a minutes silence for the senseless and needless death of most town and area pronunciations in this video! And what the fuck is a Burr? Cumbernauld is a shit hole, though!
Elgin shouldn't be on this list - cathedral city with access to beautiful coastlines (I mean stunning - people are amazed by the Moray coast whenever they visit) and gold sandy beaches which offer the best surfing and windsurfing in Scotland outside of Thurso, loads of history in Moray, it is the whiskey county of Scotland, beautiful nature walks all over, good access to Cairngorms, furthermore a quaint town centre and most importantly the area with the least rainfall across the entirety of Scotland! For people who need 20 different bars on their doorstep they will be disappointed but there is more to life than getting rat arsed in a pub on a rainy night in Glasgow. I would never live on the west coast as it rains constantly, Edinburgh is too expensive, and Aberdeen is soulless - the Highland / Moray area is the best kept secret in Scotland for quality of life.
His awful mispronunciation undermines his comments - you know he's never heard of (let alone been to) any of these places - not that it's a serious review anyway. Personally, if someone says something negative about Scotland I tend to get triggered, (as most Scots do I think) but yeah, fair enough, some points hit the mark. It would be better if he shared his OWN experience rather than making anecdotal videos of what 'he's heard'.
Mike Ryan has it absolutely correct which suggests a lack of research on the part of Learning Canteen. The opening scene in this and another of the ‘Worst’ videos shows Oban which isn’t mentioned in either so presumably doesn’t fit into this category but the video title suggests it does. Makes it hard to consider these videos objective.
Elgin is a charming historical town with enterprising local businesses, an abundance of natural beauty, and a strong sense of community. For those who appreciate a quieter life, surrounded by nature and with easy access to other parts of rural Scotland. Is Elgin a nice place to live? It is indeed.
Is the presenter an actual person? Sorry but this seems so unnatural -more like an airport annoucement speaker. And is the content some kind of dead-pan humour because it's lost on me.
Elgin Cathedral has been in ruins for centuries - and is a major tourist attraction! You can't use that against it!! Also, why all the pictures of Oban, when it's not on the list?
What's about getting somebody that can pronounce 'burgh' properly (not to mention quite a few other things), to read the script. Somebody that kens the difference a'tween their erse and elbees....
What's so bad about Motherwell?, I've lived there for 4 years and it's more better than this list it has more people than "Ghost town" plus the shopping centres aren't that bad its better than other places, By the way it's pronounced wish-AW not wish-OW
I have been there, at least all the shops are together. I have visited many times. there are many more depressing places to visit. that you expect to have some shops and end up having next to nothing
I wouldnt use the word "worst". Yes some towns, citys and villiages may be better than others, but theyre not the "worst" they just have bad people, good towns,citys and villiages have good people, better the people, better the town, city or villiage. This goes for every country, not just Scotland. Also i have been to most of these towns, and they are fantastic. I went to Falkirk, to see the kelpie statues and the Falkirk Wheel. The experience was amazing. Also how does this have 212 likes??? This is stupid, this video is completely bonkers, not only that this is not true, its making tourists not want to go to those towns.
Totally agree with you. Hate vids like this that bring a misunderstood place down. Everywhere has it's good & bad areas & i feel like it's something a lot of people miss
People all getting triggered by AI regurgitating stock footage and a very narrow scope of reviews. Get a grip folks. No towns were visited in the making of this video.
Wtf is this? Basically just listing large towns. Far worse places than these, and some of the reasons given are absolute nonsense. Stick to commenting on places you actually know things about. Didn't know ibrox was in Falkirk either lol.
AI don't disagree that Falkirk is a bad place to live but in your review why did you show a picture of Ibrox Stadium which is in the Southside of Glasgow?
I live in Greenock, and I actually used to live in the most deprived part. All I can say is. I'm 27, never been involved in any capacity with the law. I moved to Greenock when I was 26. No problems before that. Couple months living in Greenock, and boom. A court date due to junkie knife wielding maniacs. But better yet, the council instead of improving the area, waste funds on vanity projects and making sure people don't use the term "junkie" them blame the UK GOV for not giving enough funding to the area. Also. Its home to some of the worst roads I've driven on. Also people love to molotov each other here.
Much difference between Greenock and Gourock? For that matter does Dunoon share in crime and dilapidation, or does the Clyde separation help insulate? I'm considering retiring to the Cowal peninsula or points west.
@@scottluterotty9923 Gourock is like the West End of Greenock but with pubs. Dunoon is completely different as is Kirn/Innellan etc. A lot quieter now the US Navy has gone but still the favourite address of sex offenders appearing at Greenock Sherriff Court. Don't listen to Dean up above. He's probably got some whiney English accent that the locals took exception to. He claims to "live in Greenock" when anyone actually from the place would say stay rather than live as a convention of the Scots Leid.
@@scottluterotty9923 Gourock is a different kettle fish. Gourock is very pleasant. Good houses, good facilities like parks and sports facilities. I'm on a weekly basis looking at houses in Gourock in envy. Good places to retire are the bottom area of Gourock towards Largs (the houses there are unbelievable. Very very nice view of the Clyde and mountains).
REN-frew-shire not Ren-FROO-shire. Coat-BRIDGE not COAT-bridge. WEEMS not Wehm-iss (Wemyss). And East Kilbride, Motherwell, Cumbernauld and Falkirk aren't meant to be nice places, they're meant to be dormitory towns for bigger cities. And why show Ibrox Stadium (in Glasgow) when you're talking about Falkirk ?! Have to agree re Paisley and Greenock though.
Gotta love it when an Englishman is making blanket assumptions on locations he has clearly never been to before. If he had then he'd know what he's saying about every location mentioned is utter tripe and lacks the objectivity he has the brass neck to ask for. As a native of Falkirk myself this is utter keech!
The twinning of the towns of Elgin and Landshut in Bavaria, Germany came about in the 1956. The aims and objects of the association (ELTA for short) are to promote and foster friendship and understanding between the people of Elgin in Scotland and the people of Landshut in Bavaria, Germany.
As someone from Airdrie I was shocked and appalled that we were not on the list and mentioned only as being next to Coatbridge, it's as bad if not worse. Really the whole of North Lanarkshire is pretty much a shit hole.
Both towns often get lumped together though I've always thought Airdrie to be a bit worse. At least the Brig has some nice suburbia near the town centre, and one of it's roughest schemes (Sikeside) is right by Airdrie! They're still better than Holytown or Bellshill.
Jesus, at least make an effort, sounded like you were using Wikipedia as a script.. bordered on the South East by some random river.. zzzzz. Voiceover sounded like it was going through the motions. For what it's worth, yeah, most of the top 10 is spot on, including the town where I grew up. Irvine and Glenrothes could have done with being on there to almost go for a full house of New Towns, would have looooved to hear you pronouncing Glenrothes.
Surprised Fraserburgh never made the list. It had the highest number of heroin addicts per head of population in Europe. The town's centre was all boarded up last time I had the pleasure of visiting.
This is obviously not from personal knowledge and is a completely uneducated view of the places mentioned. Granted, there are many places in Scotland which are not pleasant, as there are in most countries, but the Scottish people are, as a rule, some of the friendliest you will find. They are certainly not all thugs and drunks.
I've lived in both and couldn't wait to get out... neds and junkies litteraly every street you go down...boarded up windows everywhere, bins overflowing, rubbish, buckie bottles and needles disgarded on most side streets... actually 2 of the nastiest places I've stayed in Scotland, hands down.
Cumbernauld isn't pretty in places, but it's not "scary". It's nothing like as bad as nearby places like Airdrie and Coatbridge. Glasgow is probably the "scariest" place to live in Scotland.
I lived - CUMBERNAULD, BATHGATE, INVERNESS, GLASGOW, EDINBURGH, LIVINGSTONE, DUNFERMLINE, COUPAR ANGUS, ABERDEEN, STIRLING, COATBRIDGE, DUNDEE (from 6 mount till 2 years) and SH*T place is NUMBER 1 of coarse - CUMBERNAULD, second is ABERDEEN and third - LIVINGSTONE
You're handy for the Bush Campus of Edinburgh University though... where the vet school moved after leaving the Dick Institute. Are these names connected? I wouldn't like to guess.
And i wouldn't call Elgin a town anymore its more of a city some people dont think it is. But it is google said its not even a city but thats not true elgin is a city it wasn't back then but its turning into one
I have been to all the places on this list. but I do think there may be other places that are worse. Greenock is for shops not as bad as Gourock. And Falkirk at least has some places of interest. the wheel and the kelpies. nu 1 - is a weird place although the shops are all indoors they are on different levels, and there can be a long walk between them. it is a giant block of concrete with zero style. really to say that the shops are on both side of a main road and you are taken over it without seeing it. the shopping has no logic to it. Any town can have problems with drink and drugs. also beggar's. if its based on that than Glasgow would be number 1. I would bring up Maypole as a dirty place to be the main street with dirty windows due to the trucks going down it as a place for this list.
@@l3awjawz yes.. So you have been there only a few shops, there is no reason to stop a look around it does not even seem to have a good park to walk around.
Should I waste my time commenting …yes I should …it should I say SHOD ! Due to all the mispronounced places ….This extremely misinformed person ,on many counts is only doing this for click bait
Even people who understand the Scottish accent have trouble understanding the accents from those places. There are also places in Wales such as Aberdare where they speak in such an undecipherable way you would think they were speaking a foreign language.
@@angusmacpherson3252 They were trying to speak in English in the same way rap artists and characters on Eastenders do as they were chav girls but in an even less decipherable way as they didn't learn to communicate as children so could hardly pronounce words. It's the Valleys after all where Welsh was first banned and the revival of the language is even today not accepted there.
...as for the drunk trying to find home, I'll tell you what... I'd juts stay there for them 😢to help them and walk them and with them till there home, as I've already done before of Guildford, and simply and Christianly kiss them and give them a tight hug.
Cumbernauld as number one is laughable. The Town Centre is awful, but it has lots of really nice areas. It is by far the best place in all of Lanarkshire ffs. Having it below Paisley, Greenock, Larkhall etc is absolutely ridiculous.
Really? You're placing Cumbernauld above, say, Hamilton or Bothwell? I agree, however, that Larkhall should have had a place on the list. So should Stevenston. And Bathgate is no treat.
True some of the planners should be unpleasantly appraised, but the people are fantastic in many of these towns. Ignoramus who cannot pronounce a large number of the place names. Deprived maybe, but the towns have an excuse given that unlike someone with the breadth of the internet and technology who produces this DRIVEL

For what it's worth, yeah, most of the top 10 is spot on, including the town where I grew up. Irvine and Glenrothes could have done with being on there to almost go for a full house of New Towns, would have looooved to hear you pronouncing Glenrothes.
Surprised Fraserburgh never made the list.
It had the highest number of heroin addicts per head of population in Europe. The town's centre was all boarded up last time I had the pleasure of visiting.
A seething, Bohemian metropolis compared to Banff.
Been to a pub in Banff .The locals were totally off their heads after a couple of drinks. Quick exit.
I was told not to go to a bank in the wall in Fraserburgh even during daylight.
This is obviously not from personal knowledge and is a completely uneducated view of the places mentioned.
Granted, there are many places in Scotland which are not pleasant, as there are in most countries, but the Scottish people are, as a rule, some of the friendliest you will find. They are certainly not all thugs and drunks.
Surely it's buckfast in coatbridge - not cider!
That'd require local knowledge and insight
Ibrox Stadium isn't in Falkirk.
seriously? paisley and greenock are on this list? bullshit. they're both really nice places with really nice people, in my opinion.
They're also probably the 2 most violent towns outside Glasgow.
I've lived in both and couldn't wait to get out... neds and junkies litteraly every street you go down...boarded up windows everywhere, bins overflowing, rubbish, buckie bottles and needles disgarded on most side streets... actually 2 of the nastiest places I've stayed in Scotland, hands down.
Cumbernauld isn't pretty in places, but it's not "scary". It's nothing like as bad as nearby places like Airdrie and Coatbridge. Glasgow is probably the "scariest" place to live in Scotland.
Glasgow's a big place. Which part do you find scary?
Carbrain is scary but I didn't find the rest of it that bad.
You should a picture of ibrox in Glasgow when talking about Falkirk?
Photo of Falkirk too scary to show on TH-cam .
Absolute bollocks.
Falkirk is one of best places and Isn't ned capital your videos are respecting the people who live in those 10 towns
I lived - CUMBERNAULD, BATHGATE, INVERNESS, GLASGOW, EDINBURGH, LIVINGSTONE, DUNFERMLINE, COUPAR ANGUS, ABERDEEN, STIRLING, COATBRIDGE, DUNDEE (from 6 mount till 2 years) and SH*T place is NUMBER 1 of coarse - CUMBERNAULD, second is ABERDEEN and third - LIVINGSTONE
Drinking Game: Take a shot every time North Lanarkshire is mentioned.
Penicuik should have been in this list there’s no shops and it looks like the aftermath of a nuclear war
You're handy for the Bush Campus of Edinburgh University though... where the vet school moved after leaving the Dick Institute.
Are these names connected? I wouldn't like to guess.
And i wouldn't call Elgin a town anymore its more of a city some people dont think it is. But it is google said its not even a city but thats not true elgin is a city it wasn't back then but its turning into one
Clydebank much much worse than Elgin
Definitely not the best 😕
Defo not the worst either. Agree it's a bit of a dump, but not as bad as nearby schemes and no worse than Dumbarton or Alexandria.
Why does this make me proud to be from cumbernauld
From an English man. What a joke.
It's a bot voice.
I have been to all the places on this list. but I do think there may be other places that are worse.
Greenock is for shops not as bad as Gourock. And Falkirk at least has some places of interest. the wheel and the kelpies.
nu 1 - is a weird place although the shops are all indoors they are on different levels, and there can be a long walk between them.
it is a giant block of concrete with zero style. really to say that the shops are on both side of a main road and you are taken over it without seeing it. the shopping has no logic to it.
Any town can have problems with drink and drugs. also beggar's. if its based on that than Glasgow would be number 1.
I would bring up Maypole as a dirty place to be the main street with dirty windows due to the trucks going down it as a place for this list.
You mean Maybole in South Ayrshire? Aye that is a cowp.
@@l3awjawz yes.. So you have been there only a few shops, there is no reason to stop a look around it does not even seem to have a good park to walk around.
"Parish of Dal-yell"
It's written "Dalziel" and pronounced "Dee-yell".
Muppet
EAST KILBRIDE is not one of the worst places to live. Some one need to get thr facts rite 😳
What? Have you been anywhere outside of Glasgow suburbs? Rubbish.
Really ? Inverness is a great place to live can’t believe it’s on this list !!
This list is bullshit falkirk does not deserve be on it aswell but dunfermline Does
Since when was ibrox in Falkirk 😂😂 thought it was the famous Glasgow rangers 🇬🇧
ok ibihuhuugiumun in higii b l
Musta moved ground 😂
I'm from East kilbride but its not the worse place to be. Like most places alcohol can be attributed to a lot of problems but that's not unique.
Should I waste my time commenting …yes I should …it should I say SHOD ! Due to all the mispronounced places ….This extremely misinformed person ,on many counts is only doing this for click bait
Absolutely ignorant.
Scumbernauld the worst naw.
Next video...Worst places to live in Ukraine 🇺🇦
No way Coatbridge should be on this list it’s a hidden gem 💎 😂
Really?!? Scotland sounds grim. Scotland for the Scottish is probably for the best
A party political broadcast by the SNP.
The fashion sense in falkirk literally is out of this world.
Even people who understand the Scottish accent have trouble understanding the accents from those places. There are also places in Wales such as Aberdare where they speak in such an undecipherable way you would think they were speaking a foreign language.
Have a look in your arse. You'll find your opinions there.
Would that be Welsh...which is not foreign! English is though!
@@angusmacpherson3252 They were trying to speak in English in the same way rap artists and characters on Eastenders do as they were chav girls but in an even less decipherable way as they didn't learn to communicate as children so could hardly pronounce words. It's the Valleys after all where Welsh was first banned and the revival of the language is even today not accepted there.
6:08 😀😀 it’s pronounced Dee ell not dal yell
Seriously. Is that the only one you got? He trashed most of the pronunciations.
You talk about Falkirk and put on a picture of Ibrox.
...as for the drunk trying to find home, I'll tell you what... I'd juts stay there for them 😢to help them and walk them and with them till there home, as I've already done before of Guildford, and simply and Christianly kiss them and give them a tight hug.
I’m from East Kilbride 😁
I was expecting to see Kilmarnock on this video.
Scotland some town r best ❤️
I agree about Cumbernauld but why wasn't Glenrothes mentioned here?
Cumbernauld as number one is laughable. The Town Centre is awful, but it has lots of really nice areas. It is by far the best place in all of Lanarkshire ffs.
Having it below Paisley, Greenock, Larkhall etc is absolutely ridiculous.
Really? You're placing Cumbernauld above, say, Hamilton or Bothwell?
I agree, however, that Larkhall should have had a place on the list. So should Stevenston. And Bathgate is no treat.
True some of the planners should be unpleasantly appraised, but the people are fantastic in many of these towns.
Ignoramus who cannot pronounce a large number of the place names.
Deprived maybe, but the towns have an excuse given that unlike someone with the breadth of the internet and technology who produces this DRIVEL
Do scottish eat fish and chips?
hasnt got a clue what he's talking about, he might want to go to scotland one day!
Just weird 5 of them places are next to me
wheres fife
Wait a minute why is my tow on number 3 wow
They are all better than London and Birmingham.
That's all right then.
Definitely
Well, definitely Birmingham. London has some redeeming features. Not sure Birmingham has any though.
138 stabbings. Keep well clear.
Worst places to live in the UK...1.England.
