Andy North Croy Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Someone I know is planning to move to Scotland from Germany and asked where I thought was a nice place to live. Has to be near major airports and have decent schools.... Thoughts anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phart Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Two of my friends moved to Clarkston. Seems a nice place. Good schooling, and near both Prestwick and Glasgow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ormond Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 Always liked the idea of staying along the Fife South coast. Burntisland, Aberdour, Queensferry, etc. Close to Edinburgh airport and each town has quaint restaurants, pubs and more importantly an active train line.

Couple of boozers and a couple of restaurants. Silver sands beach. Train to Edinburgh 30minutes. Father in law stays there, when not at his other gaff in Spain.

TDYER63 Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 I would like to nominate my village of Bridge of Weir. 10 mins drive from Glasgow airport, 10 mins drive to Johnstone train station where there is a large free car park and trains to Glasgow every 15 minutes , train journey takes 15-20 minutes. Good schools, Gryffe High seems to have very good results if that is important. 3 restaurants and 3 pubs. Hunners of take aways. If your friend is German , my work collaegue’s wife is German and they have just moved to Bearsden, might be a wee German community there 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her mans on the rigs or something Youve also got Dirty Wullies newsagent Somewhere in the vicinity of Aberdour was there not a farm that had a horse with the biggest cock in the world, affectionately he was known as "Chopper" It used to drag along the field when he was walking about by all accounts. His cock must have been like leather Some of that might be tweaked from the truth so I may have got myself muddled up along the way.

Barney Rubble Posted January 12, 2018 Share Posted January 12, 2018 The village of Tarbolton in Ayrshire is idyllic. Close to an airport, with high quality education available at Ayr Academy and Wellington, and beautiful countryside five minutes away in any direction. The locals are also highly welcoming, if a little difficult to understand. In comparison, Clarkston/Whitecraigs are antiseptic ghettoes.

The new motorway get you to Weegie in about 20 minutes and you can go up through Dunlop for the airport. Great schools and the best butchers in the world.
