Glenrothes named most dismal place

Glenrothes has been handed the unwanted title of the most dismal place in Scotland.

The Fife new town beat competition from Motherwell and New Cumnock to win the Carbuncle Award, dubbed the Plook on the Plinth.

Judges felt Glenrothes had failed to move with the times and said the town's Kingdom Centre shopping mall felt like a 1980s "timewarp".
