      Absolutely not true. I've lived all over the place, Scotland and England and Northern Ireland and bar staff are always friendly (whether sincerely or not) because that's their job. English in Scotland get the hardest time because so many Scots have a bag of chips on their shoulder towards them-they'd rather have an illegal immigrant in Scotland than an English person. THAT is how bitter some Scots are. English people, like Northern Irish tend to be morecaccept8ng of people-that's my experience, anyway, and I've been from one end of this country to the other.

My friend was left blind in one eye from the glass in his spectacles breaking into his eye. Then he left the uk and went back to Poland due to it. I also left Scotland at that point and moved to Wales. In Wales the people were friendlier and there was much less violence and drugs than in Scotland.

    Leith is noting compared to what it was. The smoking van in pubs killed many of them off literally within a year of being implemented. Most people living there now aren't Leithers, and A LOT aren't even British. The pubs are wank, with too many studen-types or rich people. Gone are the days when ladies of a certain industry walked the streets. I worked (in the docks) and lived there from 1995 to 2018 and saw a HUGE change in that time, little for the better but mostly for the worse.

      They also., for a time, about 10-15 years ago, hung around at Leith Links and threw used condoms into trees where they hung like jelly decorations from the branches. The residents formed a committee and got them moved on because they were taking punters up people's alleyways and doing them there- those residents being posh and well-to-do so able to pull those strings.

    That old Scottish guy must have recommended the Marksman cos he was angry that England had won and saw it as his chance to get his own back on an Englishman.
    Tbh I was up in Edinburgh back in March and some of the folk I talked to were really warm except none of them were Scottish. So much diversity there that one was Australian, a few were American. And they were very affable and warm. But I can't make a fair comment on the Scots since I never really crossed paths with any.
    I get the feeling that if you get on their good side, they'll treat you like family. Get on their bad side and they'll throw you to the dogs. No half measures. Not something I'm a fan of, I prefer some balance
