getting drunk in a rough Scottish town!
I check out Dumfries in Scotland. The town is supposed to be quite rough but have a good selection of decent pubs and beers! Join me as I walk about the town and try and find the best boozers!

I reguarly get leggless drunk on fine Scotch and beers in Dumfries. I am Irish and on a years work contract here. The Scotish people are great to get falling in the gutter drunk with as I do every Friday and Sat Night. Love the fish suppers when I crawl on hands and knees to the fish en chipper near the pubs... speaking drunkin gibberish that somehow Scots understand. I was rolled a few times. Some Scots Git robbed my wallet with about 300 quid of my wages still in it, when I was on my knees mouldy drunk. The Scotish bastard hit me over the skull with a glass coke bottle. I was bleeding. Someone called an Ambulance. I was never right in the head after that

I play in pubs around Scotland (I lived down south for a while too), and the only hassle I've ever had has been in the big chain pubs. All the wee ones that are meant to be dodgy or are full of locals are usually the best places. As long as your not an eejit the folk are great and there are some real gems.

Alot of folk appreciated it because otherwise they would missed it all. And a lot of bigger companies have been getting in to the NC500 route over last couple years. Victim of its own success and alot of roads cant handle the trafic.

I could point you in the direction of much more dodgy areas than Dumfries mate. As one bloke says below try Bathgate, West Lothian. Also there's Drumchapel, Blackhill, Possil, Easterhouse, or Castlemilk which are all in Glasgow. Just outside Glasgow, try Cumbernauld. Down south try Luton, Basildon, Hounslow, Peterborough, or Chelmsley Wood- which is West Midlands. #GlazersOutNow

lol Bathgate dodgy? Its a commuter town with links to Edinburgh and Glasgow (a lot of professional people), has a community theatre and a bit too many posh venues to be dodgy. All the old mens pubs which could have been classed as dodgy are shut or have been revamped. Apart from Linlithgow its probably the safest place in West Lothian.

A good pal of mine from Bathgate couldn't wait to leave the place. Now granted that was 25 years ago. Are you telling me that Bathgate has gone through a massive improvement programme since then? It would have to have tens or maybe hundreds of millions spent on the place, huge housing developments, masses of brand new sports and arts facilities opened up along with many coffee shops and top restaurants. Under the SNP I'd be amazed especially as they have been cooking the books and helping themselves to tax payers money and buying themselves top of the range motorhomes 🤣

Guinness... more often than not though this is not a great idea... it seems a shame that ales native to these islands are poorly kept... and I'm not going down the Foster's, Carling, Coors road.
