"Whatever anybody says, keep well clear of housing schemes such as Craigmillar and
Muirhouse. The people who live here are truly the scum of the Earth. To call these violent,drug infested hellholes "third World" would be an insult to the decent populations of Africa, Asia and South America. The residents are dirty,lazy,Godless and ANGRY! Feral children run wild through the hideous warrens of 1960s concrete boxes(many of which ly empty and derelict) ingesting alcohol and class A drugs,emptying their systems of excess urine and saliva over walls and pavement alike. The only salvation for many of the adult population is to gather at the communal temple that is "The Gunner"(Muirhouse) or "The Castle Tavern" (Craigmillar). It is here that the miserable and infirm can gather to offer gifts (SOCIAL SECURITY PAYMENTS) in return for copious amounts of "holy water" ( Tennants Lager) & various "house"spirits, before vomiting, stabbing or beating strangers ,swearing,urinating in public and finally kicking the living daylights out of their unfortunate (though equally revolting) spouses. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!"

Sounds just like a place for me :) Muirhouse is the 2nd and Craigmillar is the 4th most deprived place in Scotland (Restalrig in Edinburgh is 3rd, have to go there as well someday). I just needed some equipment for this journey:
Six pack of the cheapest beer money can buy, to blend in with the locals (too bad my tracksuit is at wash). One Heineken to enjoy afterwards.
A knife, if some poor person needs me to cut their bread :)
Report coming tomorrow :)
