Admit it, aren’t you just a little bit bored with those travel posts that ooh and ahh over far away lands as though the streets are paved with cheese and no one has heard of income tax? Sure, there are plenty of reasons to get outside your front door, but can we please stop pretending that there aren’t some destinations out there that just aren’t worth the trip. Fortunately for us happy few cynics, several people have taken to Trip Advisor to let people know just exactly how worthless some of these international destinations really are. Take, for example, these tourists who have taken to the popular site to decry the many mediocre destinations on offer in Scotland.
