A little bit about Newton Mearns...
Newton Mearns is a suburban town located in East Renfrewshire, Scotland, approximately 7 miles southwest of Glasgow city centre. It offers a blend of urban convenience and a peaceful suburban environment. Its position on slightly elevated land south of Glasgow means Newton Mearns often enjoys marginally better weather than the city itself, with slightly less rain and better views of the surrounding countryside.
​
Newton Mearns is home to admirable residential homes, excellent local schools, a vibrant community environment & the popular Avenue Shopping Centre. It is ideally located to many transport links & the M77 motor way connecting the town to Glasgow & Paisley.
Newton Mearns has origins dating back to medieval times, and its name comes from the Old English words "neowe tun" (new village or farmstead) and the Mearns district of Renfrewshire. The area was historically agricultural, with estates and farms dotting the landscape before becoming suburbanized in the 20th century.​
During World War II, Newton Mearns housed military defence systems as part of Scotland's contribution to the war effort. Some of the land that is now suburban housing was previously used for military purposes.
