Head up to the Highlands. Some great places to live- plenty supporters buses to all the games!
Like the sound of Stevenston
Add Stewarton or Dunlop to that list. All lovely wee towns.I think I would pick ayr prestwick or Troon given the choice
Bit of a journey though ?Head up to the Highlands. Some great places to live- plenty supporters buses to all the games!
The cross Keys is a proper rangers pub. I think there are about 6 buses leave from there. Others will be better placed to advise.
Strong masonic at 169 if you are looking to meet some good people and integrate

Glen Roy in Balloch, McKenzies, the Bowling club and Masonic in the Vale. All of this and 25 minutes to Glagow on the train and Loch Lomond on your doorstep. I'm starting to sound like the tourist board here.Sounds good mate. Are there a few good Rangers friendly pubs
Bit of a journey though ?
Have a look at Renfrew.
Some nice areas well within your budget and only 10 minutes from Ibrox.
You can also pop round and do my garden if you are keen.
A few decent suggestions hence my suggestion about staying in a few different places for a week at a time. It's a big decision that you are making.Thanks for all the positive comments so far, they are very much appreciated as estate agents unlikely to have a Rangers friendly filter on their website.
I would appreciate some recommendations....
For that dough you could buy a flat on the Clyde near the City Centre, no taxis or buses and s walk or the underground to Ibrox for the games
I currently live in Plymouth, but recently divorced and was made redundant. I am therefore considering relocating back to Scotland and also being semi retired. I quite fancy being able to watch us home and away again.
I have not lived in Scotland since the 1970's when I joined the Army. I am from Glasgow originally and have family there, but unsure about living the city life again.
Ideally I would like somewhere with reasonable house prices, bear friendly would be a bonus and within 40 miles of Glasgow ideally. I have looked on right move but have no idea whether an area is decent or not.
I would have asked this question in the lounge on the previous site so hopefully not inappropriate on here.
Not sure what that meansFirst stealth thread of the new board?
My sister lives in East Kibride...........that might be too nearI have friends in Strathaven, seems nice enough and somewhere I'd consider.
So, Ayrshire and Renfrewshire seem to be overwhelming areas recommended. I have had a few from other areas such as Cambuslang but nothing from the Glasgow area. I guess I don't have sufficient funds to find a house in a nice area with a good garden, which is fair enough.
Why wouldn't you touch Lochwinnoch?Eaglesham is popular. So is Lochwinnoch. I don't know Eaglesham but wouldn't touch Lochwinnoch
Edinburgh is getting pricier and pricier. I live near the new ERI and soon Sick Kids and the house prices have rocketed because of this, we are selling up next year and moving out the city and West Lothian is our preferred destination. Getting a lot more for your moneyI think Edinburgh might be too pricy for me. is it a one bedroom flat

Do you mean Strathaven mate?Decent shout.
Stonehouse is a nice wee town with some nice property. East Kilbride 10 mins away and half hour to Ibrox.
Sounds like it is certainly worthy of considerationHave a look at Peebles in the Scottish borders mate cracking place to live and you would get a decent property for your budget.probably an hour hour and a half commute.
Kevin Thomsons uncle lives here so its blue enough, with a smattering of poets thrown in
Thanks mate, will look up PrestwickIf I move again I'm probably going to Prestwick, great wee place. Have a look OP, there are loads of hotels with deals on where you could stay then go and have a look around.
I have seen a few properties in Ayrshire that I liked. My worst fear is ending up in some Tim area
Nicer areas around me
Troon
Prestwick
Alloway/Ayr
Or Whitehirst park in Kilwinning
Initial thought was this would be a good town, but don't know much about facilities, crime etc.Only one shout for Larkhall?
My best mate lives there, cracking town.
No need to worry about bumping in to many of them, staunch as!
And close to both Glasgow and Edinburgh, with plenty of supporters buses and a Friday Parade every July!
will do thanksYou defenitly have sufficient funds to get a cracking house with garden in Bishopton/Inchannan/Renfrew areas. Have a look around places on Google maps/the net.
Thanks mate, will look up Prestwick
As said my best mate lives there, crime went up when the gypos were there, but generally decent. Good houses with big gardens, where he lives. And his mother-in-law moved into his street a couple of years ago, having spent time there. I like it a lot myself, and if I was to leave Devon and head home, it would definetly be high on the list!Initial thought was this would be a good town, but don't know much about facilities, crime etc.
I have seen a few properties I liked online and might have a look.

Do you mean Strathaven mate?
Sounds ideal and will researchMy first choice would be the mearns you'd get a lovely house for that kind of money, 5/10 minutes from silverburn you've also got the best supporters club in the southside the clarkston loyal.
I stay in kilmaurs and would say Dunlop is nice but not much going on it's very quiet although your 25 mins on the train from Glasgow.
Ok apology accepted,don't really hope you get dry rotok my humblest apologies. I thought you were accusing me of being a tim, I am hyper sensitive to that and over reacted.
I seen a few houses I liked near Larkhall. I know it is a good Rangers area but don't know much about the town apart from that.
No mate. Stonehouse is down just beyond Larkall.Aye the guy I quoted said Strathaven but is Stonehouse not the wee Village you go through on the way to Strathaven from EK? Has a golf course and driving range.
okay the Isle of HarrisDude this is FF you are not answering a question on the Amazon website.
