Erskine
Erskine was voted as one of the most desirable postcodes in Scotland and it’s easy to see why. It’s close to the Firth of Clyde, overlooking sparkling waters and exquisite countryside to the north. It is close to Loch Lomond and The Trossachs National Park, as well as Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park and the endless beaches of the Ayrshire coast.
From your new build in Erskine you have the pick of primary schools. And if you like to shop, there’s the Bridgewater Centre with lots of high street shops, bars, cafes, restaurants and takeaways. If you’re looking for a new build, here has it all.

Living in Erskine
Perfectly positioned for an easy commute
The great thing about being far enough away from the city to enjoy the countryside, is having a great motorway that can speed you into the heart of the city when you need it. The M8 to Glasgow takes just over 20 minutes out of peak hours. If you would like to take the train (45 minutes) or a bus (60 minutes), Glasgow Airport is just five miles away and is easily accessible by road or bus. Plus, if you need to get to the north of the Clyde, the Erskine Bridge can have you into Dunbartonshire in minutes. Ideal if you're commuting to the north, or enjoying a day at Loch Lomond & The Trossachs National Park.
Great shopping
You have the pick of the national supermarkets, as well as The Bridgewater Shopping Centre and lots of shops including high street brands, banks, takeaways, chemist, hairdresser, a library... there are also small pockets of shops across the town serving different communities at Bargarran, Park Glade and Mains Drive. If you're looking for a big shopping experience or world cuisine, head into Glasgow for a few hours and enjoy the city buzz.
A great choice of schools for all ages
It has five primary school including Rashielea, Bargarran and Barsail as well as two Roman Catholic primaries, St John Bosco and St Anne's Primary School. Secondary school options include Park Mains High School, which is within walking distance of your new build, and is the largest school in Renfrewshire with around 1,400 pupils. Alternatively, take just a short bus ride to Renfrew for the smaller Roman Catholic Trinity High School.
The best of town and country
You can work and play in Glasgow with its great bars and restaurants, high street and boutique shopping as well as the museums, art galleries and events. You can walk to Boden Boo or the local beach next to the impressive Erskine Bridge. Go to the leisure centre for a swim or head to either of the two golf courses to tee off.
A short drive from your new house in Erskine, there's the Clyde Muirshiel Regional Park where you can run, walk or cycle a little of the 108 square miles of scenic Scottish countryside - there's even watersports on Castle Semple Loch. Or if you fancy a picnic or a spot of wild swimming, head to the coast of Ayrshire with miles upon miles of golden sandy beaches.
