Do you not like Glasgow ?
I was born in Glasgow, how can I not like it... It is a city, I hate cities, I hate towns, I don't really do villages very well and I'm exceptionally anti-social. Oh and I much prefer to live in the countryside.
I would happily move north again, but I'm not certain what my position (wrt to not being able to work and the likes) is north of the border and tbh until my grandfather dies, its a touch difficult.
His other options are Dorking. We have lived down there - actually we lived just the other side of Godalming between Milford and Haslemere for a very long time. I would prefer somewhere nice around Glasgow, but it needs to be scenic, remote, and somewhat more accessible for me in my current state. I think the problem is that he is looking for a house that I can live in now in my current state and not really looking at a house I would like in, and would actually like to live and could mentally survive. I get very depressed living in towns/cities or houses I don't live, rather areas I don't like.
