Lived here from 2001-2005 while at uni and can understand that tourists would have nothing to do but to live in i found it great loads of pubs to go to, not far from the countryside (just over the erskine bridge), good supermarkets, great taxi services, all night bus from paisely (linwood) to glasgow (first number 9) where you will meet the most exiting drunk/crazy characters that will sit near you and tell you their life story – youll feel like your in your own soap opera. The people are friendly and the takeouts are champion. But dont go if you want to see the sun more than 2 week in the year.

I grew up in weston and can say that its an interesting town with lots to do. Theres bowling, aquarium (but i wouldnt bother its really small), the pier with lots of arcades, shops, museums, golf courses, donkeys -just dont go in the water, its not the cleanist. Generally its an old british seaside. you get candy floss and punch and judy. Theres pedal boating on the marina and theres a few parks with nice flowers for the oldies.

I live near here so go quite often in the summer. Its got lovely beaches recommend St. Marie de la mer. If you like good seafood this is the place to go – however dont think that its marseille you wont find bouillabaisse it has a lovely icecream shop in the center. Its got many many bird species around the marshes with the most famous being the flamingo, Black bulls and white horses. This place has a lovely calm atmosphere but it does get incredibly hot in july and august. You can horse ride the white horses of the camargue from the’ranches’ around the area and there are many good hotels.
