Hi everyone,

I'm in need of some advice of areas such as Dalry, Breith and Lochwinnoch. My husband has accepted a job away from home and needs to be close to Glasgow airport (around 20/30min drive as he'll have early morning flights on Monday's). We live in Crieff just now, which we love but sadly we really need to be close to the airport. We'd like to live somewhere similar to Crieff, with a nice community feel.
We've been looking at buying and the prices for 3 bedroom houses in these areas are amazing! Dalry properties are too good to be true! Why is this?!
We have a viewing in Lochwinnoch on Monday and this will be our first time traveling here. So we'll also take a drive through Beith and Dalry so we can see what they look like.
Can someone please give some advice on these areas? I need somewhere with good nurseries/schools - my boys are 3 years old and 8 months old. I also need somewhere with a nice friendly community, I'll moving without my husband as he'll be training for a month in South Africa, so I need somewhere where me and my boys can meet people and find new friends.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you

Thanks b00dyM4ry, you make a very valid point. I'll start looking at secondary schools as you've suggested. Are you based in Linlithgow?
Thanks again everyone!

Helensburgh is fine for early morning commutes as there's precious little on the roads. Half the flights from Glasgow down south on Monday mornings are for people from Helensburgh. Grin
