Here&#8217;s 15 Signs You Grew Up in Kinross.<\/p>\n<h2>1. If you weren&#8217;t a Loft Loyal, did you even exist?<\/h2>\n<p>There&#8217;s nowhere to go out-out in Kinross, so Perth is the next best thing. As soon as you hit 18, every Thursday was spent shakin&#8217; what your Mama gave ya on The Loft dancefloor. The photoshoots you did in front of that famous Loft wall each week will be the best you&#8217;ll ever do.<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center\">\n<\/h6>\n<h2>2. The banks of Loch Leven made for the best bar in town.<\/h2>\n<p>There aren&#8217;t many places a gal can go out in Kinross town, so the bonnie banks of Loch Leven and a bottle of wine will have to do. All fun and games until someone goes in the water&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>3. Apple Sourz is pronounced SOORZ not SOWERZ<\/h2>\n<p>Any flavour. We&#8217;ll take it.<\/p>\n<h2>4. Who&#8217;s turn is it for an empty this week?<\/h2>\n<p>These parties were some of your funniest, most embarrassing, and roughest nights of you life&#8230;what you can remember.\u00a0Either everyone would turn up, or no one at all. Go hard or go home.<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center\">\n<\/h6>\n<h2>5. Sainsbury&#8217;s supermarket is a social activity, not an errand<\/h2>\n<p>In Kinross, taking a walk to the supermarket is just as entertaining as going to the cinema, and if you don&#8217;t bump into at least 10 people you know, then something&#8217;s not right.<\/p>\n<h2>6. &#8216;The Vennie&#8217; was the place to be<\/h2>\n<p>Chappin&#8217; on all your pals doors to see who wanted to come out to The Vennie park was a daily activity, whether you were doing kick-about on the grass, clambering in the trees, or playing Boys Kiss the Girls behind the trees (classy).<\/p>\n<h2>7. Going for lunch to &#8216;the garage&#8217; or Bayne&#8217;s the Bakers<\/h2>\n<p>Remember the old guy who owned the garage down the street from school? Legend. And those Bayne&#8217;s suasage rolls and Scotch pies? Bangers. Oh, and a premium Friday treat would be a Mr. Blobby iced biscuit from the bakers.<\/p>\n<h2>8. Sledging on Baw Hill in Milny<\/h2>\n<p>When the snow hit Kinross, there was only one place worth trekking your sledge across town to get to. It&#8217;s actually called Ba&#8217; Hill, but that&#8217;s not as funny. You&#8217;d\u00a0 get serious FOMO if you weren&#8217;t there.<\/p>\n<h2>9. The old paper shop sold Mix Ups in paper bags<\/h2>\n<p>The front desk was like a deli counter for sweets, and if you got the nice lady, she&#8217;d let you choose anything you liked. If you grew up in Kinross you&#8217;ll definitely remember rainbow astrabelts, big coca cola bottles, and those multicoloured sherbet straws.<\/p>\n<h2>10. &#8216;Going a walk&#8217; was a date (before drinking came around)<\/h2>\n<p>If you were a young&#8217;un looking to sweet talk your crush, the best way you could escape your parents was by going for a walk to Burleigh Sands by the water. So romantic.<\/p>\n<h6 style=\"text-align: center\">\n<\/h6>\n<h2>11. Group day trips to McDonald&#8217;s were definitely a thing<\/h2>\n<p>If you were lucky enough to have a pal that could drive AND had a car, then a glamorous trip to MaccyD&#8217;s was always on the cards. Another known first date spot.<\/p>\n<h2>12. T in the Park<\/h2>\n<p>If you didn&#8217;t go to T in the Park, then you&#8217;re not a real Kinrossite. Scotland&#8217;s biggest and best festival used to be on the doorstep. If you weren&#8217;t carrying people&#8217;s luggage, or wheeling them around in wheelbarrows for money, then you were definitely boogying at &#8216;Cocktail Cocktail&#8217; until the sun went down.<\/p>\n<h2>13. Trading Pokemon cards in the playground was taken very seriously<\/h2>\n<p>Stealing someone else&#8217;s cards was the ultimate crime.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>14. Cafe 98 lentil soup out of a polystyrene cup<\/h2>\n<p>All the cafes in Kinross have nothing on old Cafe 98. The wee joint isn&#8217;t there anymore, but my GOD that soup was childhood memories in a cup.<\/p>\n<h2>15. Last but not least, Kinross&#8217;s &#8216;wonderful&#8217; smell<\/h2>\n<p>Kinross is a cute wee place. It&#8217;s easy to forget that it&#8217;s surrounded by chicken farms. Oh, wait! You never forget that, because the place reeks of manure 98% of the time! You&#8217;d think growing up in Kinross all these years would make you used to the smell, but it is just as bad every time.<\/p>\n<h5>What do you think are some signs you grew up in Kinross?
