Aberdeen Voted Most-Dismal Town

Scottish magazine [I]Urban Realm[/I] voted Aberdeen as the most dismal Scottish town in their annual Carbuncle Awards.

I honestly didn’t think it was that bad when I visited last summer. Their Marischal College located near the center of town is quite beautiful.

I’ve certainly seen worse in the U.S., that’s for sure.

I suppose things have degraded a fair bit since last summer when oil prices were still super high and people weren’t getting laid off…

the Scots are a dour people who live in a gloomy land…I imagine much of the country is painted drab gray.

then there are the pubs!

I have been working with a Scot for the last, oh, 18-19 years. . .
