IT is known for its good schools and easy commuting time to Scotland's biggest city.
Now G78 - the code for Neilston in East Renfrewshire - has been revealed as the country's most desirable place to live.
East Renfrewshire and East Dunbartonshire, each bordering Glasgow, dominated the postcode top ten, which considered proximity to good schools and green spaces as well as average commuting times.
Torrance, Lenzie, Milngavie, Eaglesham, Bearsden and Giffnock all made the top 10. Three areas of Edinburgh - EH5, EH7 and EH11 - also featured.
The study by the Centre for Economic and Business Research also looked at employment prospects and affordable housing.
Craigavon in County Armagh came top in Northern Ireland while Bebington in the Wirral, close to the River Mersey, led the poll for England.
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
