Dating in Glasgow and the west
In shortGlasgow and the west coast have the trains and ferries that make day trips easy. A trip down the coast gives you time to talk without having to fill every silence. For Glasgow, Ayrshire and the rest of the west, our sister site juststrathclydedating.co.uk has local people and ideas.
A first date idea
Largs to Cumbrae
The CalMac crossing from Largs to Cumbrae takes about 10 minutes and runs all year. Largs station, with trains from Glasgow, is about a five minute walk from the port. Check the timetable before you go, as you cannot book a set sailing, then wander into Millport.
