The affluent suburb of Newton Mearns is close to Glasgow, yet far enough away to provide a refuge from busy city life.
The gateway to some beautiful countryside and open spaces such as the newly created Dams to Darnley country park, there are many peaceful walks to enjoy in the local area.
For those who prefer recreation of the retail type, the Avenue Shopping Centre is a popular destination in its own right and has a wide range of well-known stores under one roof.
