A new study has revealed the 10 'most dangerous' areas across Scotland based on their respective crime rates.

Scotland's "most dangerous" areas have been named in new research investigating crime rates across the country.

Although the city's overall rate of crime has fallen since 2023, the experts noted that it "still has major issues across the board". Looking at specific crimes, Dundee has seen 5,383 crimes of dishonesty, 2,853 incidents of violent crime, and 315 incidents of motor vehicle theft. Rounding out the top five "most dangerous" areas in Scotland are Dumfries and Galloway and Aberdeen City, with overall crime rates of 1,093 and 945 per 10,000 residents. The former fell one spot on the list compared with last year, while Aberdeen remains unchanged at number five.
