I have lived in Edinburgh all my life so I am happy to try somewhere new. The OH isn't very keen though, I might be able to persuade him though. mainly by threatening that he'll be homeless if I f**k off I thought I'd murdered them all? Must try harder and carry out a fresh sweep. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshbairn Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 (edited) Anywhere smallish, not far outside Glasgow with good pubs and transport links? Might have to move nearby for family reasons in the next year or so. Maybe somewhere on the coast? Maybe Helensburgh? Don't know the area at all.

Nutz_the_Squirrel Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Stayed in Finnieston when I was a student a LONG time ago. Can’t believe the change in the place now. Every time I go there, there’s so much change to pubs/restaurants etc. Lovely place, near the city centre and west end as well as parks etc. Not good for parking. No idea what the rent is nowadays. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also has a good football team if thats of interest to you 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Shawlands is great but the public transport links to the West End aren't the best. Partick is probably your best shout. Finnieston would be expensive for rent. Yorkhill area could be a good shout. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruel street is actually alright, in the southside, right next to Mount Florida station, near Shawlands. Unfortunately it's also right next to Hampden. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adam Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 As Knightswood Bear rightly stated, welcome to Scotland’s best city.If you’re looking for somewhere that isn’t going to break the bank, I would recommend Dennistoun. You’ll get much more for your money in comparison to the west end, and ample parking, depending on which street you are looking at. Good transport links from Alexandra Parade/Duke St, both buses and trains, which would allow you easy access to the subway at Buchanan St/St Enoch.The commute would be murder, and mental expensive. My girlfriend works in Edinburgh three days a week, leaving the house at 7am and rarely back before 7pm. No life if you’ve got to do that five days a week.Once again, well done on making the right choice. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venti Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Prefer commuting. Rather have a nice house in Gourock than a wee shitey overpriced flat in Glasgow. Surrounded by OF fans (probably). Edinburgh to Glasgow would be a bit too far though. 1hr is enough for me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallo Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Not to take this thread too far off track, but 11-12 hours out the house on a workday is pretty standard is it not? -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICTChris Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Regarding commutes, my eyes were opened by working in a team half of whom are in London. Some people drive two hours in the morning and then again at night to get home, and that can be extended with bad weather or roadworks. I've got colleagues who get up at 4am to come into the office. Madness. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
