Why an in catchment listing can still miss
A house advertised as in catchment may not be next year. The local council publishes last year's furthest distance offered for each school. Ask for that figure in writing before you offer.
Ratings age too. Read the current report rather than the agent's summary of it.

| Who it suits | Out of five | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Families | ★★★★★ | Among the best state-school results in Scotland, a well-regarded village primary and a safe, settled village feel, a genuine draw, though schooling is catchment-driven so check the address. |
| Professionals & Glasgow commuters | ★★★★☆ | Glasgow is a 20 to 30 minute drive via Clarkston and Busby or the M77, with buses to the neighbouring towns, convenient by car, though the village has no station of its own. |
| Period & character buyers | ★★★★★ | A designed conservation village with whitewashed cottages, Georgian frontages and the Orry green, rare, protected character that is hard to find elsewhere. |
| First-time buyers | ★★★☆☆ | Cottages and smaller homes offer the (relatively) more accessible ways in, but this is a premium village and larger homes are well beyond a typical first purchase. |
| Downsizers & retirees | ★★★★☆ | A settled, attractive village with local shops, pubs and the moor for walking, though the nearest major A&E is the Queen Elizabeth University Hospital in Glasgow rather than in the village. |
