A DISGRUNTLED Press reader has hit out at Culross being named one of the UK's best places to live.

As the Press reported last week, the village was named in the Sunday Times' 2022 list, but one resident, who stays in the village but did not want to be named, was angry after Dunfermline MSP Shirley-Anne Somerville shared the news on social media.

The villager fumed: "I nearly choked on my cornflakes. Let me fill the Press readers in on what Culross is really like under Shirley-Anne's watch. We've lost our shop, we've lost three doctors, we wait a month to see a doctor, we have broken slabs, we have broken paving, we have cracked paving, we have loose cobbles, we have broken cobbles, we have potholes."

He also complained about issues caused by drivers and parking in the village, adding: "We have cars parked on the pavements at Blackadder Haven, we have cars parked on the pavements at Sandhaven, we have cars parked everywhere in the centre of the village, we have cars parked on pavements at the swing park, we have rats and fly-tipping at the East car park, we have gangs of boy-racers in the West car park at nights.

"I’m sorry Shirley-Anne, but Culross is an absolute disgrace, and all this has happened on your watch and the villagers are very, very unhappy.

"So come on Shirley Anne, what you going to do?"

The Press invited Ms Somerville, who is also Cabinet Secretary for Education and Skills, to comment but she declined to do so.
