• Doon e mall
• The coach park beside the harbour footbridge ,great for all the (gay)boy racers to admire each others spoilers burberry caps and Eminem haircuts, unbelievable that people still exist in this 70s timewarp today(driving roond and roond).

• Thee red devil or clio 16v has to be one of thurso's attractions with his massive spoiler putting the seven wonders of the world to shame- ha ha TOOT
• the circuit. the men drive round the circuit, beeping horns at the girls who wlak round the circuit. it is not at all primal but in fact a very developed mating ritual. Men are especially successful if they have a) loud tunes, like techno and def leppard b) a fido dido or kenwood sticker on back window c) a much better looking friend to riding shotgun. Girls are successful if they a) wear cordouroy ski pants with the knees and butt worn away b) crop tops that show an expanse of grubby pale flesh. ymmm. c) giggle inanely with friends every time chosen car passes. Which will be at least twenty times in one hour since there is nowhere else to drive except the 'stainland'road which lots of people die on.
• Lots of teenagers haggin aboout the job center bench looking for a older friend with a car, take a run roond the toon and smokin fags.
• The Precinct is the place to be, especially on a Saturday afternoon. Anyone who is anyone will be there, hangover or not. Check out the talent (or lack of it) and wind up/eye up the tourists.
• We all know e bench up ae mall,great for a drunken fumble.
• "Doon e` mall" (up the river) is a hive of activity in the summer months! Affectionately remembered as the site of my first poke!
• Outside the Job Centre
• Sitting on the wall at the front of the Royal Bank, giving dirty deeks to passers-by; young lassies trying to catch the eye of 'at chiely wi' 'e fast car who's driving round and round the block, windows open (inviting hypothermia) frightening grannies with ear-drum bursting music.
• Up Thurso river to the salmon pool on a sunny afternoon with a carry out and a box of matches for the whins.

• The Dowpy Dan Memorial Bench

The Knowhere Guide started out as a list of places to skateboard in the UK. It is a compilation of (unedited) information and views supplied by users like yourself. It is not a conventional tourist guide!

In most cases, the information in each section has been submitted by more than one contributor (the credits at the bottom of the page list some, but not all, of the contributors) and some of it dates back to the 1970s.

We make no claims as to the accuracy of the information in the Guide - our only purpose is to provide a forum for users to share their knowledge and opinions. So please keep a large bag of salt handy and be prepared to read between the lines!

If you disagree with a comment, or information is out of date, please submit an update! The contributors come from all walks of life, and their opinions are bound to be subjective, so if your view isn't represented, please speak up and contribute to the balance of the Guide. See below in the 'Have Your Say' section for how to add your voice.

If we have helped you out or made you laugh you can buy us a pint.
