Kirkintilloch, Scotland

Town centre, near Forth & Clyde Canal

[@KryptonitetoallBS]

I've known Kirky since the 1970's and it's always felt run down and in desperate need of some love and attention. I know there's some nice housing areas but even there, around where the old Westermains Tennis Club used to be, you could count the really nice properties as less than 50. When you consider the location which has a superb backdrop of the Campsies, it really is a poor show from house builders and the council who have allowed the building of houses which resemble much of what was built behind the Iron Curtain after the war! There's a small area near Hillhead Parish Church which resembles something from Beirut. It always surprises me how the people are still chirpy and chatty despite living with such a grey and dull backdrop, especially when it's raining, which is more often than not! From the Miners to Smiths, from Ghiloni's to The Puffer, and The Redbrae to The Chase, sorry but it feels 3rd world!
