I was looking for information on a pub in Kilmarnock the other day and came across
Kilmarnock travel guide - Wikitravel I was amused to see this about Kilmarnock.
Quote:
Stay Safe
If in town alone at late night it is best to try and avoid the Burns Mall shopping centre as this has been the site of brutally violent attacks & indeed murders in the past. It would be wise to stay in a group as most of the unsavoury characters that frequent the town cetnre looking for trouble will tend to avoid you if you outnumber them. If in any doubt the police station is in the town centre on St Marnock Street. The same advice also applys to the Howard Park.

Especially when after further investigation I found no other Ayrshire town had a similar Stay safe section.
How bad is your area?
