Not A Big City, This Small City Is The Best Place To Live In The World

JAKARTA - Scotland is known to have many beautiful areas, from Borders to Highlands and Islands. The choice is so much that sometimes it makes you confused, either for those who want to find a new place to live or just a short vacation destination.

Recently, Muddy Badettos released a list of the best places to live in Scotland. Although it focuses on residential areas, this list can also be an interesting holiday guide.

Reporting from the Daily Record, one of the prominent areas is Milngavie, located in the Greater Glasgow area, precisely in East Dunbartonshire. The small town is about six miles or approximately 20 minutes from downtown Glasgow.

Milngavie was praised for being able to combine the quiet small town atmosphere with the atmosphere of a big city. In addition, the location is very strategic because it is the starting point for West Highland Way, one of Scotland's most famous and beautiful hiking trails.

The city also has a row of attractive local stores, including popular Daydreams Bookshops. For culinary choices, there are several recommended places such as the modern Italian restaurant Andiamo, Cafe Alba-friendly cafe, and Fullbacks Pizza Bar.

Muddy senangettos described Milngavie as a place where the charm of the village meets the style of the city. Many green areas for leisurely walks, independent shops and a lively culinary atmosphere. While Glasgow cultural centers remain easy to reach.

Glasgow itself is in a stressful time. The city celebrates its 850th anniversary in 2025 and will host the 23rd Commonwealth Games in the summer of 2026. With more and more people interested in moving to Glasgow, Milngavio is the right choice for those who want to be close to the city but still feel calmer.

For a place to stay, Milngavie offers a wide selection, ranging from glamping pods to traditional hotels. Glamping pods can be found at Mugdock Country Park at a rate of around 220 pounds or IDR 4.8 million per night for two people.

Its facilities include small kitchens, private bathrooms, dining areas, sofa beds, TV, and free Wi-Fi. This Inn gets an average value of 9.4/10 out of 187 reviews on Booking.com with many guests praising its comfortable and calming atmosphere.

In addition, there are also two apartment units that can be rented through Airbnb, suitable for up to four people. Located at the center of Milngavie and only 50 meters from the beginning of the West Highland Way route, this apartment is considered very clean and comfortable, although some feel the price is a little high.
