On a slightly more serious note, Lenzie is a very pleasant victorian commuting town, built around the station. Lots of old sandstone houses and pleasant streets. Its 10-15 mins into the center of Glasgow on the train. Not a huge amount going on there though but close enough to everything else.
My Mrs hails from Lenzie and we are there quite often to see friends.

Next time you get invited to a civil partnership in the sahara, remember to take some sand.

When you going? Winter's a bit of a bleak time of year to go. The days are very short, and the weather likely to be dreich.
Persuade them to postpone until May.
