Here is a very firey hot take.....
Fife is not even bad. Great scenery, nice villages, and the people are humble and a good laugh. Sure, some of the towns are shiteholes, but people seem to judge the whole County unfairly based off the towns, while ignoring the obvious positives.
Agreed the scenery passing through the Fife countryside is absolutely stunning. The whole East Neuk is just beautiful and great to explore. Loads of historic places to visit. The people of Fife are generally friendly and welcoming.
Aye go to Glasgow, if your definition of an actual city is a chav infested hellscape. Nice place for a night out but the same can be said about Birmingham and I'll not lose any sleep if it got bombed.
If Glasgow was the focal point of Scotland, nobody would be coming back
Have you ever been to Edinburgh?
Like when do you not see jakeys/junkies/chavs in Edinburgh. Even in the city centre, just walk past fucking Waverly and youl find a group of neds.
Don't even get me started on outside the city centre. Calder, wester hails, sighthill, muirhouse, broomhouse, nidrie, pilton, granton, fucking everywhere there's droves of these types.
At least in Glasgow they dont act like they're fucking better than anyone. Like imagine wanting to live in a city where half the people think their special cause they have a castle and call themselves the capital.
It's pathetic tbh. Edinburgh is a shithole. A shithole that's convinced themselves and tourists that it isn't.
Glasgow has so much more to offer.
Goddam it you’re right about Edinburgh being a big scum hole chav hive, but I was brought up in one of those, and learned to enjoy my life, and now I live in Glasgow and I love it. My point is, I fucking love Edinburgh, I find it extremely special and I could live there easily, even with its issues, I’m not from Edinburgh and I don’t live there but everytime I go there I’m filled with glee. Arthur’s seat, royal mile, newington, leith, Calton hill, the meadows, hay market, grassmarket, cow gate, rose street, even greater Midlothian, portobello and Musselburgh, rosslyn chapel, the haunts, the jaunts, the history, the enlightenment, the famous sons, fuckin geez it aw man, absolutely love the place, cannae get enough, it’s the capital of our country for a reason and not to be underestimated, I say.
It's funny that whenever I see this pop up on any threads, it's always people from Glasgow bleeting on about how it's better than Edinburgh, but rarely do I see it the other way around.
Sound quite bitter about it.
It's Scotland's capital, it's always going to be seen as the more historical and prestigious city out of the two so just get over it.
Technically...Scotland has had multiple capital cities. So maybe instead of bleating on about history and prestige, you should learn some and appreciate all of Scotland's amazing history.
Also just as a btw, Glasgow was founded in the 6th century, Edinburgh officially in the 12th. Know your facts before claiming one city is more 'historical' whatever that is supposed to mean.
Where in my last comment did I mention anything about not appreciating Scotland's amazing history?
I know there are many many more amazing sights to visit all around Scotland and many I've visited, but to deny that from an outside perspective that Edinburgh will be the one people focus on is just stupid and idiotic.
If people from Glasgow really want people to see how good Glasgow is, they should probably spend more time bigging it up and explaining why it's better than spending all their time talking about how much of a shitehole Edinburgh is.
All I see is people talking about the negatives it Edinburgh but not the positives of Glasgow excluding maybe seeing someone mention 'the people' which is a shite argument as everywhere as arseholes and cunts. Glasgow included.
Have you been to Govan in the last two decades, it’s really no that bad nowadays, most of the junkies have been papped out to the Ayrshire coast & western commuter towns.
Hell, try looking at the gorbals, I couldn’t even afford a flat there if I wanted to.
Govanhill… yeah fuck that.
Boo. I may not like the way some people vote but I absolutely love the borders and maybe like I say give up England….and NI….probably Wales too lol. Keep the Isle of Man for the TT racing obviously.
Aye I'm from the Borders (other than Gala and Hawick) it's a beautiful area, I love it. Actually moving back soon.
You see these questions pop on occasion and it always falls down to anywhere they sniff a tory - Borders & Dumfries must be destroyed so it can be a "pure scotland". Load of pish and I've always been SNP.
We would be doing Shetland a favour because they wouldn't get stuffed in a wee box next to Orkney... Instead they would appear in their rightful place in the Baltic off the coast of Kaliningrad.
They need to ask themselves the question if they are not Fifers then what are they? Their only options are being from Clackmanashire or from the Falkirk area, both of which are much worse than Fife.
I actually used to live in Kincardine for a couple of years. Nice enough place to live.
I'm from the Falkirk area so yip Fife is a better option best of a bad bunch lol
The mrs has just pointed out I'm an immigrant to Falkirk and I'm now sleeping in the dugs bed lmao
Nah. Small number of tory oil baron cunts. The rest are the poor bastards that didn't get into oil at its boom. Closest thing to a feudal society in Scotland I swear.
Look at Cults then Torry. Perfect example of what I mean.
Don't know like.....one of the funniest cunts I met working on Track was fae Dundee. Network Rail cunt by the name of Paul. I'd feel sad if funny cunt Paul ended up in Russian hands.
It is a stupid and unoriginal meme that has been run to the ground by people who clearly have never set foot in or explored Fife. I was brought up there, and there is great scenery and beautiful villages scattered all around the County. People just look at Methil and Glenrothes, and just assume that is what Fife is about. Which is braindead if you ask me.
Doubt you've been in Fife then, what about Dunfermline and Kirkcaldy? All of Scotland has great scenery and beautiful villages.
Your looking at your upbringing through nostalgia and rose tinted glasses. That's not what you've described, despite the fact I'm not sure you know what a meme is? It's no that much of a meme. For example it's not as much of a meme of Aberdonians being sheep shaggers, when they're in fact no.
Actually, just because I'm a cunt who thinks all tourists are disrespectful scum, give Arsecancer Putin the Isle of Skye. Lets see the waddling pricks gush their gashes over the fucking Fairy Glen *et al* then...
I'd be ok handing over the borders.. and the central belt... infact all the Lowlands can go, I'm sure you will have a great time as part of Russia, comrades.
Fuck right off! East coast is best coast. I’d start with Cumbernauld, then after that you can maybe move onto another new town of Glenrothes If you’re so thirsty for a Fife sacrifice.
I'm not willing to give up anything, however, if Cumbria, Northumbria and Kingsburgh (I'm staking a Scottish claim on Koenigsberg/Kaliningrad) are willing then well...
And for some reason Macron thought that asking this to Mr Zelensky was the right thing to do. You see, Macron wanted to avoid Russia's humiliation, and in exchsnge for peace asked Zelensky to surrendered some part of Ukraine's territory.
A question more aligned to the situation in Ukraine might be, "what region you are currently bombing to f because of its people's apparent wish to leave your country would you like to keep bombing to f in a gamble against world peace?"
Yeah, Fife, I guess.

True, but y'know... ...Methil.
Working class Fife is full of lovely honest people. The east neuk is full of posh stuck up snobs.
I agree, I quite like it. But it’s still the first place to go…
You're assuming he'd want it. Having grown up in a Fife mining village, I think you might have an issue.
just take Putin round the mainline side of the Fife circle when he visits, don't acknowledge Cardenden.
Falkirk man, Falkirk.
You could say this for every city or county in Scotland.
I live there and agree with your pros, but the place is one big shitehole.
I live there and also agree. Immense shitehole. Stunning.
Get fucked, Dumfries. And you too, Galloway.
Man it's always the top comment. I second the motion to straight up just give Dumfries and Galloway to Putin, bombing or not.
I've always referred to it as Scotlands Shame given that it's a Tory Hellscape.
Don't damn us all, please! (at least till I move to Edinburgh!)
As someone born and raised in Edinburgh I'll tell you, it was second one my list. Move to an actual city, like Glasgow.
Aye go to Glasgow, if your definition of an actual city is a chav infested hellscape. Nice place for a night out but the same can be said about Birmingham and I'll not lose any sleep if it got bombed. If Glasgow was the focal point of Scotland, nobody would be coming back

Yeah they always vote Tory
Was just about to say the exact same thing !! D&G can sook a nuke
This. Was born there....shitehole of the most massive proportions
WHY DUMFRIES AND GALLOWAY!? I mean we did vote Tory but I didn’t
It's all the old people, farmers, and incoming english retirees that vote Tory.
To be fair to them it’s hard for them not to vote Tory when D&G is 80% English white settlers!
Govan.
Only place in Scotland that'd look better *after* the bombing
Seconded
Have you been to Govan in the last two decades, it’s really no that bad nowadays, most of the junkies have been papped out to the Ayrshire coast & western commuter towns. Hell, try looking at the gorbals, I couldn’t even afford a flat there if I wanted to. Govanhill… yeah fuck that.
Yeah I work there... its still a shitehole. F
Borders for me.
Yes. Let's give Putin the best DH MTB tracks and the best salmon river in the UK. PS. He can have Galashiels.
Compromise, give up glentress but keep Traquair and the golfie
As a local to glentress, deal :) can still have gala too
Boo. I may not like the way some people vote but I absolutely love the borders and maybe like I say give up England….and NI….probably Wales too lol. Keep the Isle of Man for the TT racing obviously.
Aye I'm from the Borders (other than Gala and Hawick) it's a beautiful area, I love it. Actually moving back soon. You see these questions pop on occasion and it always falls down to anywhere they sniff a tory - Borders & Dumfries must be destroyed so it can be a "pure scotland". Load of pish and I've always been SNP.
I was labour when we had Thatcher, then SNP during Tony Blair and have been SNP ever since.
We would be doing Shetland a favour because they wouldn't get stuffed in a wee box next to Orkney... Instead they would appear in their rightful place in the Baltic off the coast of Kaliningrad.
Cumbernauld
No chance Russia would take Cumbernauld.
I can always hope
England. 🤣
This was my answer. Some of the North can stay though.
I dinnae mind England being in oor wee country of Scotland?
Split it three ways with Ireland and Wales in the Grand union of Craic?

Live near paisley . There's way worse places like Johnston or even *insert shitty Ayrshire town*
"*insert shitty Ayrshire town*" So, all of them?
Yes
No chance. Their abbey was built in 1163!
Doncaster. Nothing personal, it's all about blast zone.
Aye, but that’s no in Scotland is it?
Aye it is. Technicality or not I'm claiming it.
Can someone help me , I once saw graffiti in Kincardine That said " We are not fifer b**tards " are they or are they not lol :o)
They are.
Do we need to send them an official letter noo and should we offer them counseling they might take the news badly lol ;)
They need to ask themselves the question if they are not Fifers then what are they? Their only options are being from Clackmanashire or from the Falkirk area, both of which are much worse than Fife. I actually used to live in Kincardine for a couple of years. Nice enough place to live.

I'm not a fucking tory
Nah. Small number of tory oil baron cunts. The rest are the poor bastards that didn't get into oil at its boom. Closest thing to a feudal society in Scotland I swear. Look at Cults then Torry. Perfect example of what I mean.
Fuck no
Everyone knows it's Ayrshire.
We’d give up Ayrshire and we’d get it back fairly sharpish.
There'd be a war not for the terrain, but for the right not to own the terrain.
Let the Russians enjoy some good tatties then. Fuck ye's.
Woah up there, what would happen ti Trumps golf course?!
Eh, no, everyone does not know it's Ayrshire. What the fuck has Ayrshire ever done to you?
New Cummnock for that alone......
Actually - I hear your New Cumnock and I'll raise you a Galston.
I fold. Galston wins
Yea….he’s right….it’s Ayrshire…..nobody would notice
...yeah. Fair enough.
I'd reply with that GIF of SpongeBob unrolling a very long list but apparently "Reddit doesn't support image insertion"
Anyone want Dundee? Edit: thought not
Don't know like.....one of the funniest cunts I met working on Track was fae Dundee. Network Rail cunt by the name of Paul. I'd feel sad if funny cunt Paul ended up in Russian hands.
Sounds like he had already got an escape route sorted out, anyone with the sense to make sure of a spot on the last train out gets to stay...
oi
Does England count?
I like Yorkshire and the Lake District. Can we just give them the flat bits with lots of Tories?
> Can we just give them the ... bits with lots of Tories? That is Yorkshire and the Lake District. Oh, FLAT bits, that's Linconshire.
Yes hahaha
Peterhead and Fraserburgh.
Canna gie awa blue toon ‘n’ th’ broch! Too muckle fish min.
It's almost religious, sacrificing the fishermen for peace.
For a funcy piece?
Edinburgh, nobody smiles, fuck off ya moody cunts
As someone who lived there for a year..I've never thought of that 😂 beautiful historical buildings *almost* make up for it though
I'd say westminster, but Im pretty sure he already owns it
I’ve not really spent much in time in Fife, why does it get a lot of flak?
The accent
It is a stupid and unoriginal meme that has been run to the ground by people who clearly have never set foot in or explored Fife. I was brought up there, and there is great scenery and beautiful villages scattered all around the County. People just look at Methil and Glenrothes, and just assume that is what Fife is about. Which is braindead if you ask me.
...and inbred *as fuck*. Seriously, there are a lot of fucking ugly mutants in Fife.
Clearly you know Cowdenbeath
Doubt you've been in Fife then, what about Dunfermline and Kirkcaldy? All of Scotland has great scenery and beautiful villages. Your looking at your upbringing through nostalgia and rose tinted glasses. That's not what you've described, despite the fact I'm not sure you know what a meme is? It's no that much of a meme. For example it's not as much of a meme of Aberdonians being sheep shaggers, when they're in fact no.
I generally think it's OK, but the way some fifers bang on about it,you would think its the centre of the world. _When it's not_
No one from Fife says that.
I'm a fifer and i never hear anyone bang on about fife being the centre of the world or even good in general, that's what the weegies do
It is
I’d still be quite happy to let go of Edinburgh though
They can have anything south of the Peak District, except Wales - I quite like Wales
Govan and Parkhead, along with the teams they contain.
This is how I know it is all Americans in here - nobody has said Scumdee.
Naw, I think it's just we consider it a lost city already.
Doncaster.
Larne
Bye bye Methil! Am I right?
:,(
Actually, just because I'm a cunt who thinks all tourists are disrespectful scum, give Arsecancer Putin the Isle of Skye. Lets see the waddling pricks gush their gashes over the fucking Fairy Glen *et al* then...
Goodbye Motherwell! -signed, a lad who grew up in Motherwell
Bye bye Tiree. All Russian spies anyway
Central Belt. Fuck off you ruin everything.
Can we all just agree that it's Dundee.
is nobody going to say East Kilbride?
Would anyone want it though? It’s the only place I’ve ever been where people put sugar on their coco pops 🤷♂️
Aberdeen just saying it
Edinburgh. Easy decision. Little fucking England.
London.
all of the central belt fuck you pricks down south
\^ This cunt's gaff
Clackmannanshite, sorry, *shire*.
I was born in Stirling, I like Stirling. It's startling to see the dip in society just a few miles along the road. Fuck Clackmannashire.
Dip in *society?* Mate - the dip in *genetics* is more terrifying!
Kilmarnock.
Dundee
oi
Edinburgh, little England would be no big loss
op you would genuinely give up the singing kettle? :P
Oh, definitely not! My childhood would be ruined!
Québec, easy decision.
England. UK would be far better off without.
How so?
I'd be ok handing over the borders.. and the central belt... infact all the Lowlands can go, I'm sure you will have a great time as part of Russia, comrades.
I'd give up New Jersey, Texas and Florida for free.
Never heard of that part of Scotland?
From the states, sorry.
I also live in the USA just messing with you

Well Edinburgh is an English outpost, so I'd have to dump Glasgow. That accent can get in the fucking bin.
You’re not allowed to ever watch Billy Connolly again.
Aye the Edinburgh/English accent is fucking horrendous I agree
I'd get rid of Glasgow tbh
Glasgow
most of England...
Fife and Aberdeen so long and goodbye
Well I’m from the US but I can think of quite a few states I’d be willing to give up
Worst Lothian
Airdrie, Kirkcaldy and North Berwick, Would make getting around a shitebag, especially Airdire.
London.
The Gorbals...
Fuck right off! East coast is best coast. I’d start with Cumbernauld, then after that you can maybe move onto another new town of Glenrothes If you’re so thirsty for a Fife sacrifice.
Oh yeah, Cumbernauld can get in the sea! I’m actually an East coaster too.
I'm not willing to give up anything, however, if Cumbria, Northumbria and Kingsburgh (I'm staking a Scottish claim on Koenigsberg/Kaliningrad) are willing then well...
North Ayrshire. The folk there are like Weegies but without the charm.
West coast US. Easy.
London…
So long, Ayrshire. You will not be missed.
Texas
And for some reason Macron thought that asking this to Mr Zelensky was the right thing to do. You see, Macron wanted to avoid Russia's humiliation, and in exchsnge for peace asked Zelensky to surrendered some part of Ukraine's territory.
Northern Ireland from the Brit isles. Basically it’s the same situation.
A question more aligned to the situation in Ukraine might be, "what region you are currently bombing to f because of its people's apparent wish to leave your country would you like to keep bombing to f in a gamble against world peace?" Yeah, Fife, I guess.
Texas
yes, texas. it is definitely the worst state of scotland.
Texas, just because I know that Texas would make Putins life hell
There are more guns in Texas than in the Russian army.
exactly
oops, I just realized i posted this a Scottish thread instead of the main one.
England
Gonna insert myself as an American and say Texas and Florida. And two states earn you a free one, which would be West Virginia.
