Anyway, does anybody know what the bus enthusiast scene is like, if there even is one, the place I may be going to is a place called Kilmacolm, quite close to Greenock and Glasgow nearby and also Clydebank and Paisley is not too far, I would like to keep my passion for buses when I can...

Any feedback will be appreciated

Lots of independents and the McGills zonal system to get your head around

Obviously it isn't that far or complicated to get to many of the shows up there, with the train system being excellent.

Spent quite a bit of time around the western side of Greater Glasgow (and across the water in Argyll).

Hope you manage to get sorted up there.
Take some time over the water exploring Cowal/Argyll if you can. Some of the space and scenery around there is amazing.

Thanks Andreos, the plan is to get away from my problems to seek help in properly dealing with stuff and I want to reconnect and fall In love with my favourite pastimes again, one reason I want to go is because of the area Kilmacolm is in, a rural setting that looks very peaceful and get help in relative peace and quiet...

If I can sort my issues and also take in some football and bus enthusiasm, it will be the right move for me to make

As for football, your right there is plenty around, off the top of my head I can name

Greenock Morton
St Mirren
Hamilton
Clyde
Partick Thistle
Queens Park
Clydebank (Junior League)
Rangers
Celtic

Won't really bother with the last 2, but would be interested in someone like Queens Park(the only Amateur team in the SPFL) who play at Hampden Park(or at least they do when the Commonwealth Games ain't on ?)
