buying south of the river in Perth

[Guest mandy1970]

When my parents moved back to Scotland we lived in Langford. 30 years later Hubby and I are considering moving to Perth. We live in a very expensive area (thankfully after me bought) and in a village which we like.

Any suggestions for areas like this where the kids can play out, safe at night, good schools etc no further than 30-40 mins from the city and reasonably priced 4 bed house (I like the idea of a pool but are they expensive to run and a hassle)
