East Lothian seaside village branded ‘worst place to live in Scotland’ where everyone ‘lets their dogs s*** in the streets’
Cockenzie and Port Seton was savaged by a raging visitor's online rant
A SCOTS seaside village described as “the worst place to live in Scotland” has become the latest target of a scathing new review website.
Cockenzie and Port Seton has been slammed by a grumpy visitor who claims the residents “let their dogs sh*t everywhere then continuously moan about it on Facebook”.
The anonymous poster claimed “everybody who lives here leaves filth wherever they go” and that they “enjoy throwing trash on the ground, usually McDonalds or chocolate wrappers”.
According to the savage review, the residents of the East Lothian village “are [all] on benefits and boast about expensive holidays”.
The rant continued: “The children are brought up to have no respect for anyone and anything. They don’t talk, they scream and shout and are very aggressive, unfriendly people.
“Every year the town hosts a pathetic children’s gala which is very sexist, as it has a queen but no king.
“Males are relegated to being escorts to the queen, usually a rough girl from a rough family who thinks she is the next Kardashian.
“In reality she will get knocked up with 4 kids, claim benefits and go to Disneyland on holidays.”
The disgruntled visitor also claimed “Cockenzie and Port Seton is the speed bump capital of the world - the roads are basically speed bumps because the residents are reckless drivers.
“They couldn’t care less who they hit or kill in cars, so East Lothian Council keeps adding speed bumps to try and deter speeding.
"It doesn’t work - flowers line many roads where people die in hit and runs.
“This should be rated the worst place to live in Scotland. Avoid at all cost!”
The quaint harbour village is not the only target for angry visitors on iLiveHere.co.uk - some of Scotland’s finest towns and cities also come in for some heavy criticism.
One person described Wishaw, Lanarkshire, as a “psycho’s paradise with f*** all to do” while another claimed nearby Forth is “a grey moribund carbuncle on the arse-end of Scotland”.

Prestonpans residents are said to be “the most miserable lot in East Lothian” and Arbroath is described as “a mixture of racists and junkies”.
The Capital city also fails to escape the wrath with one visitor claiming “the city centre is OK-ish [but] the surrounding areas are awful” and Aberdeen is slammed as being “the most dismal town in Scotland”.
Broxburn, in West Lothian, is “now an almost desolate shanty town” while Ballingry in Fife is “a former mining village that seems immune to any form of improvement”.
The iLiveHere website contains hundreds of hilarious and cutting reviews of villages, towns and cities across the UK.
But East Lothian bosses blasted the 'moronic' claims, insisting the village is one of the best places in the country.
Councillor Lachaln Bruce said: "The comments made online about Cockenzie and Port Seton are complete and utter nonsense clearly made by someone who is a bit of a moron and a loser.
"They have probably been made someone who has never actually been here and is just looking to get a rise out of folk on the internet because sadly they have nothing better to do with their time which is a bit sad.

“This is a great place to live, we have a great thriving community down here, a community full of great wonderful people. Easily demonstrated by the people that do so much for their community like the volunteers who help put on brilliant events in our town like the Gala, the Three Harbours Festival and much more.
"We also have the folk that are working hard to make our town nicer place to live like the In Bloom group, the volunteers who attend the bi-weekly beach cleans and the group that is working to protecting our library by volunteering to make it a more attractive and interesting place to go.
“These people are the reasons why Cockenzie and Port Seton in my books is one of the best places in Scotland.”
