O/T :- Anyone in here live near Newton Stewart ?

[~ ~ Cal ~~]

My brother is moving from Glasgow to Newton Stewart to start a new job as some sort of estate management dude for the Forrestry Commision...........so :-

1) Any local advice on housing market ? Budget is circa £150k or so

2) He's now single again so needs to know where the burds hang out

3) Any nightlife action ? ( if any !) Speeddating an option ?

4) Any other tips ?

We're doing a recce this Saturday. Needless to say we'll be taking the MMR route !

Thanks in advance

1) you will get a mansion in Newtown Stewart for 150k

2) burds in Newton Stewart? you serious Cal

3) There is a fiddle and tea dance that attracts the local talent, if they remember their bus passes

4) My advice is search elsewhere mate, Stranraer aint too far away and much more happening there than in Newton Stewart, did you realise you were only 2 miles from there on the mmr when we went onto the a75 after lunch, its a really depressing little place with no action, i live about 50 miles from there (just far enough) but used to work there for months on end when i was with scottish power and i totally hated the place, as for the local accents, bring an interpretator.

Must disagree Jambo, there is tons of night life in Newton Stewart. There are goats, swans and sheep that party away to the wee sma 'ours. Newton Stewart is for peaople that are close to dying or have died and distinctly smell of old wee. Not a good place for the under 60's to visit let alone stay for any period of time. Another bad point is it is the mecca for Saxo's, as there is a company there, called GMC Motorsport, that specialises in fitting Superchargers onto sh*tty wee Citreon's. When i spoke to this guy he exclaimed that he could get a 1.6 Saxo to 180 horse power and that they could take it due to having bigger big end bearings than a Cossie, i replied When you fit these kits do you give these guys a free attitude problem with matching Burberry hat.

Newton Stewart only good for passing through onto the Girvan Road
