imo and according to the newspapers paisley is one of the roughest places in scotland mate.dont get me wrong there will be a lot of good folk in paisley but imo it would be a scary place to move to.its in strathclyde mate not far from glasgow (glasgow has been the murder capital of europe the last 3 years running).fife stops at the river forth,famous for the forth rail bridge which was started in 1883 finished in 1890.still in use today.paisleys over the fourth on the opposite side from fife.if you ever make it to scotland mate pop in to mine.im about an hours drive from paisley.even if you were to visit your girls folks in england you could always pop up to mine for a few nights and i could take you through to paisley for a visit.
st andrews however is in fife.a really quaint old village.the home of golf,the st andrews course is one of the worlds most famous.a normal 3 bedroom house with a view of the 18th hole and clubhouse just sold for a record 4 point something million.it was some rich golf lover who bought it.its a really beautifull place st andrews.its also where prince william heir to the british throne went to college.
the further north you go the better scotland gets.the west coast also has pretty amazing scenary and a lot of islands.
