Scotland ends 'dismal town' award after backlash, replacing it with one celebrating community spirit.
Scotland has scrapped the 'Plook on the Plinth' award, previously given to the 'most dismal town,' after Port Glasgow residents rejected the 2025 honor, calling it demeaning and harmful.
The backlash highlighted concerns over stigmatizing working-class communities and promoting 'poverty tourism.'
In response, Urban Realm replaced the award with the 'Heart On Your Sleeve,' recognizing community spirit and potential, which Port Glasgow received as the first recipient.
The change reflects a broader shift toward constructive engagement and celebrating local resilience over criticism.
