It is some 5-6 miles from Glasgow city centre. It offers easy and quick access to Glasgow Airport, the Scottish Exhibition Centre, Burrell Collection shopping, and of course all the cultural and artistic facilities offered by a great city.

The town centre, locally known as ‘Milngavie Precinct’, is based around the original village centre and has been pedestrianised since the 1970′s. Within the Milngavie area there are many features and amenities which make up its special character and account for its popularity as the ideal town in which to reside.
