Shandon Par Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 My wife's granny is from Newton Mearns, though she has lived in England for about 80 years now. She's a miserable boot. Hope this helps. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Any Newton Mearns experiences? Lots of traffic lights. Thank God for the M77 bypass. (I used to go to Kilmarnock pretty much monthly on the old road, but since the thing's been built I've probably only been a handful of times going to Ayr and Stranraer away on the bus. Typical, grrrr) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throbber Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 Knightswood Bear lives there, doesn't he? I'll just leave it at that. A misleading username then.And Newton Mearns is quite a posh place is it not? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dee Man Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 There have definitely been better alias'/aliases/aliaii. Only starting threads about places to live is a bit rubbish. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cmontheloknow Posted July 18, 2016 Share Posted July 18, 2016 (edited) Some parts of it are among the wealthiest in Scotland: http://statistics.gov.scot/slice/choropleth?dataset=http%3A%2F%2Fstatistics.gov.scot%2Fdata%2Fscottish-index-multiple-deprivation&http%3A%2F%2Fpurl.org%2Flinked-data%2Fcube%23measureType=http%3A%2F%2Fstatistics.gov.scot%2Fdef%2Fmeasure-properties%2Fdecile&http%3A%2F%2Fpurl.org%2Flinked-data%2Fsdmx%2F2009%2Fdimension%23refPeriod=http%3A%2F%2Freference.data.gov.uk%2Fid%2Fyear%2F2012&http%3A%2F%2Fstatistics.gov.scot%2Fdef%2Fdimension%2FsimdDomain=http%3A%2F%2Fstatistics.gov.scot%2Fdef%2Fconcept%2Fsimd-domain%2Foverall#slice_map Then choose East Renfrewshire. It has the one poorer area to contrast with Meanskirk (the 'upmarket footballer' and high flyer's locale).

hellbhoy Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 Decent and snobby mostly and if your unlucky you'll move next door to a drug baron. A few of them live there, dodgy feckers. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillonearth Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 The Mearns itself is nice, though there's that big bland swathe of new-build commuterland out past Patterton station that the estate agents and people who've bought houses there call Newton Mearns but isn't really. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're also trying to reassign parts there and along stewarton road to Barrhead high catchment. Which isn't going down too well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few of them live there, dodgy feckers. Not really sure about the drug baron stuff. I spent most of my adult life in newton mearns, couldnt tell you where any drug barons live. Me n the mrs bought our first house together, in Johnstone. Would you believe, next to a drug baron. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
