Milngavie

Going to be working there in the next few week and months, whats it like? I must admit don't really know much about the place apart from it being the start of the West Highland Way, anyway any good pubs, places to eat, and I may stay over from time to time, so need info on b+b's/hotels and of course what kind of nightlife does the town have?

 

premier inn and boozer/restraunt at milgavie so cheap digs if bought in advance, gym next door LA fitness, allander sports centre accross the road good wee icecream shop colpi's in the village bit, theres pubs there too. Near carbeth nice wee boozer the bikers always stop a fishery accross from that and golf if any nice days and if you want a laugh Auchenhowie's doon there too (newhuns training)

Doubt it has any night life at all mate. Its like the Beverly Hills of Glasgow =P

 

it is imo an upper class town dont think they have any celtic pubs or football pubs for that matter

 

Buy a pipe from skelleto and go down the local and have a jolly old chin wag with some of the auld yins and sample some fine liqueur.

:icon_mrgreen:

 

They are a bit Kelvinside there from memory

All Finlays and Crawfords

 

Dont think there is much actually in Milngavie, my Granda stays in Hardgate which is not too far away and drinks in the Goldenhill on match days.
Dont think it would be too bad in terms of a taxi etc

 

You can atleast get a bus to the start of maryhill rd and watch the games in the Ramshead pub who run a supporters bus (Tony Mowbray)

About 10 minutes bus ride number 109,119 & 10

Here is some details http://www.celticbars.com/barsg.html

 

I live in Bearsden near it so know a bit about it. It has absolutely * all nightlife anyway that's for sure, there's a couple of pubs which will show games but that's about it. Decent amount of Restaurants and the like, has all the sorts of shops, facilities and the like in the town centre that you'd want as well which is quite good. Only issue is that, like Bearsden, it's generally a Rangers area, although these days that's not so much of a problem.

 

Does the TM still run? The Ramsheed is good for the fitba

 

Ive been there a few times not far from me, its small. The town centre bit is small but has a few restraunts and pubs with decent food and a greggs and stuff, a chippy, no nightlife or anything though quite a quiet place I think.

If you need a haircut though there must be about 4/5 hairdressers/barbers in the wee town centre bit

Its only a 10 minute walk to Sevco's Training Ground, or 2 minute drive.

 

Cheers for all the info and links, doesn't sound too exciting a place, hopefully I'll not be there for long

 

I was talking to a guy from up that way last week and he said it still runs

He also said they are thinking of changing their name (remember when it was called the derek whyte LOL)

 

Had some great parties in Milngavie/Bearsden/Baljaffry.
Massive gaffs, * pals = minted parties.

 

It's ridiculous isn't it, been to some amount of parties in which people have swimming pools and things like that. Just a shame that most of the time there's posh wanks all about the place to ruin it.
