A view of the High Street in Paisley as it was in 1937. The town has a lot going on its own right - a thriving music scene, a university, and great hospitality - not to mention how quickly you can get into Glasgow and back.
6. Motherwell
Motherwell boasts a country park and Scotland's only theme park right on its doorstep, alongside great access to the M8, and great bus & rail links into Glasgow.

Hamilton, similar to Motherwell, has great access to the M8, its own bus station and two train stations with direct links to Glasgow. It also has a lot going on its own right, with a thriving hospitality scene.
8. Giffnock
