9 Most Deprived Areas in Scotland

What are the most deprived areas in Scotland? Under normal circumstances, no country would want to deprive any part of its territory. However, think about this; why do people move from one part of a country to another? If they are not internally displaced by war, insecurity, or natural disaster, they move because they want a more quality standard of living. If truly they can have access to a better life elsewhere in the same country, the area they are living in is most likely deprived. Are there places like that in Scotland, I mean places that are deprived? Certainly, as you would see in this video about the 9 most deprived areas in Scotland!
Of course, there is never a country whose all areas are equally developed or enjoy the same social amenities. It’s simply impossible to have an even distribution of wealth in a country. Even so, the gap between the haves and have-nots shouldn’t be too wide as we have it in the case of the most deprived areas in Scotland.
How do you know if an area is deprived? To spotlight deprived areas needing more governmental attention, the data from the Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (SIMD) comes to bear. To determine the level of deprivation, the access to health, housing, education, income, employment, security, and social service was measured. The following places are found to be the most deprived based on those yardsticks.

9. Barlanark, Glasgow
Let us start with Barlanark, a district in Glasgow, situated on the east of Budhill, Shettleston, and Springboig, and northwest of Baillieston, that also shares borders with Springhill and Swinton at the west and with Easthall, Easterhouse, and Wellhouse at the south.
The SIMD yearly rankings have been rating Barlanark alongside other areas in Glasgow as the most deprived areas of Scotland by official data. The road leading to the area is of lesser quality. About 31 percent of the Barlanark’s residents at the East End of Glasgow can be classed as ‘income deprived.’ This is double the national average. Also, some 29 percent of these people are ‘employment deprived.’ This is triple the national average while 15 percent of them are on prescribed medication for mental health, which is double the national average.

8. Pitkerro, Dundee
The next of the most deprived place in Scotland can be found in Dundee. We are looking to Pitkerro, an area in Dundee. Together with Kirkton and Hilltown also in Dundee, Pitkerro falls within the worst 10 percent of deprived districts in Scotland.
The Pitkerro House, which was remodeled and relandscaped by Robert Lorimer in 1902, has done nothing in taking Pitkerro out of the rank of most deprived areas of Scotland. The area once had three primary schools and one secondary. The oldest being St Saviour’s RC High School which was eventually closed in June 2008 when the decrease in the number of pupils couldn’t be controlled. The school was merged with Lawside Academy at the next academic session to form St. Paul's Academy. A similar fate befell Mosgiel Primary School and Mid Craigie Primary School the following year. Other schools in Pitkerro were amalgamated in 2018.
Considering these educational disadvantages alone, you would agree that Pitkerro with its two major stores is one of the most deprived areas in Scotland.
