    Ok

    Do you really need to live in Glasgow?

    I live in South Lanarkshire, where there are plenty of small towns and villages offering cheap housing.

    Plus sides: Good for commuting for Glasgow or Edinburgh
    Good Rail Links
    Good Schools (Depending on where you choose)
    Relatively safe

    (I can still leave the house and cars unlocked* Though I'm not telling where i stay just in case....)

    I live in S.lanarkshire too...its not too bad;)

    Well I live In Nitsy and quite happy with silverburn opening all the work in Darnley south nitshill its actually turning into a great place to stay.

    plus I have more than quadrupled my money on my house cause I bought it before all the development.
