Baile Glas doesn't give you much to go on from the road — no high street to speak of, no obvious centre of gravity, just the kind of place you'd drive through without clocking its name unless you were already headed there. That's not a complaint, it's just the shape of the place, and it's worth saying plainly: there isn't a working set of local figures for Baile Glas itself here, so I can't tell you its house prices, its school ratings, its crime count, or how busy the buses are. What exists instead is Scotland's national picture, and Baile Glas sits somewhere inside that without anything to separate it out. So I won't pretend to know whether this particular hamlet is getting cheaper or dearer, safer or less so, better connected or more cut off — those are exactly the questions a place like this deserves a real answer to, and guessing would do you a disservice. What I'd say instead is this: a hamlet this size, in Scotland, is very often a story about proximity to somewhere bigger rather than a self-contained life — the school run, the shop, the GP, the pub, all borrowed from a neighbouring town. If you're weighing it up, the honest next step is finding out what that nearest town actually offers, because that's likely to matter more to your day-to-day than anything Baile Glas can tell you about itself.
