What is Niddrie Tan?

Niddrie is a poor area of many council houses in Edinburgh, Scotland. It has a high unemployment rate with many of its residence unemployed, in the jail, taking drugs or just doing nothing.

During those rare Sunny days in Scotland the residents of Niddrie often just sit in the sun (after they get out of bed about midday). After about a week it's as if they have been on holiday.

When people in Niddrie are asked where they have been they reply this is a 'Niddrie Tan.

Simply they have nothing better to do than sit and do nothing but get a tan.

I haven't been on holiday, I don't work so I just have a Niddrie Tan.
