Dundee's worst?
Inspired by a thread in another forum: which area is Dundee's worst? Cases are made for Lochee and Whitfield. I lived in Lochee in the 40s/50s and Whitfield in the 80s/90s. Lochee was bad, and Whitfield was pretty grim, but then so was Kirkton. Midcraigie was hellish too. I hear Douglas is way down there too these days. I lived there up a closie in Ballindean Road prior to moving South. It was fkn awful back then. Is it the city's worst now?

Re: Dundee's worst?
Beginning to think the remaining areas with lots of old tenements like the stobie or polepark (where I used to be) are worse than the 'schemes'
Transient population and junkies that have been booted out of social housing...not good

Easy to see why you moved Leedsy
I agree with Scarpia some of the worst areas are in the Stobie now the Scum wrecks an area then gets moved on sad cycle.
