Had to stop off on Gorgie to drop something off.
What a complete and utter dump. Once i navigated the dog ****, the triple parking on the side roads and the general smell which is the air - I parked outside the weatfield stand. I can't believe how much that stand looks like it's rusting away. Looks like they have not spent a penny trying to maintain the 'stadium' since it was built.
Couldnt wait to get away. Stay clear if you can. That is all.

Hope you scrubbed yourself with Dettol when you got home, a wire brush may also be a good idea

Needs a major regeneration like leith-esk one imo. Last time I went through on the 33 it looked horrific.

Having lived (existed) here for too long, the decline has been rapid in the last 5 years. The place is populated by wasters, druggies, dealers, and general low-life who neither work nor want.
Those of us who try to get on with our lives in respectable fashion are constantly and increasingly marginalised. Its as much a lawless enclave as Doddie's example but sadly this s**thole is all too real.
(And no, this isn't an anti-Hearts rant, most of the Yams don't live around here - lucky buggers)

I am not a violent man but on several occasions I have been forced into physically defending myself.
As an example, I was out the back and was subject to abuse from a couple of druggies - something about owing them money from when I was in the jail (which I haven't been)...a status dog was unleashed and quickly returned to sender with tender testicles.
I had no idea what the radge in the white trackie was on about but he started on me again later that day (he believed he was immume from retribution being in the informal employ of L&Bs finest as a registered grass).
3 days later, he apologised for the misunderstanding.
I have been covered in stercoratious effluvia hoisted over the bannister in my stair from the top flat, my flat has been subject to 4 break-ins/attempt break ins, the residents chuck their furniture in the street, the noise levels are intolerable, dogs crap where they want, fights break out, purple tins and needles carpet the backgreen areas, car windows are smashed regularly...need I continue
The place is a slum.
End of!!!

I have lived in and around Gorgay for the majority of my life and still do work in the area that you are talking about and apart from the parking and dog poo I have never witnessed anything more sinister than that, [okay I have never been in the back green's ]
