 Hi there,

can anyone advise of any storage facilities near Glasgow and give a rough idea of annual charges. Thanks in anticipation.

Which side of Glasgow?  I have the name of a place just outside Milngavie.  It was £250 per annum, but they have improved security so may have put it up.

 Thanks ,

Milngavie would be great, not far from the 'Briggs. Could you let me know the address please.

Hi there, finally back from the dentist.

The storage details are

Mr & Mrs Braid,  Balvie Farm, Milngavie,  G62 7HD,  tel 0141 956 1582

It is on a working farm, they have 2 areas and have recently put up fences and gates.  The farmhouse is immediately adjacent and they have boarding kennels too so there is always someone around.   We have just had our van there for 4 months while getting building work done, brought it home 10 days ago, so there were some spaces then.

Cost was £250 per annum or £25 per month when we used it.

It is on the road from Bearsden/Milngavie to Drymen, about 1 1/2 miles beyond the Baljaffray roundabout.    You would come through Milngavie out towards Duntocher and up to the roundabout.  Turn right.  Straight across the next roundabout and up a wee hill.  There is a black and white sign for the farm on the left hand side of the road and the road up to the farm immediately beyond it on the left.

The road to the farm is pretty potholed so take care.  Some vans are visible from the road, but we had ours through the farmyard and round the side out of sight.

Hope that helps.

P.S.   Have you got insurance?   The CC are OK with the van being kept there as long as you have your hitch lock and wheel clamp.  Don't know about other insurers.

Thanks Jennifer,

I will look into this, hopefully we will have the caravan soon, slightly worried about weights at the moment but I think we will be OK.

Yes, I saw you have problems!    I do think the van could be a bit heavy for the car, you don't want to kill it!   A lot will also depend on how many people you are carrying and how much load in the car.  If you can't put too much in the van then it either goes in the car, or does not go at all!   Which dealer are you buying from?  They should have advised you better.
