NEW research has revealed the seven most desirable places to live in Scotland.
With the summer almost upon us and sunny weather already here, many people may be looking to make a move to somewhere where they can make the most of the glorious blue skies, especially now working from home is more common.
Office space consultancy Freeofficefinder.com has ranked the most desirable places to live north of the Border using the number of views each location received on TikTok.
So here they are…
7. Elie, Fife
The scenic spot of Elie in Fife came out as the seventh most desirable spot in Scotland, with its 16th-century harbour and sandy bay being top attractions.
6. Gullane, East Lothian
This beautiful seaside town on the Golf Coast with a stunning award-winning beach has had 293,400 TikTok views. People also enjoy the sight of Gullane on the John Muir Way – a footpath along the coast between Musselburgh and Dunglass. Gullane Golf Club has hosted the Scottish Open while Muirfield has hosted The Open Championship on several occasions.
5. Killearn, Stirling
The small village of Killearn has come out fifth with 393,200 TikTok views. There is plenty to do there including visiting the Glengoyne distillery, Loch Lomond and the Trossachs National Park and the West Highland Way.
4. Isle of Islay
You really can’t have a countdown of idyllic spots without including the islands. Islay in Argyll and Bute is home to numerous whisky distilleries which are mostly famous for making some of Scotland’s most peaty drams. Bowmore was founded way back in 1779 while Ardnahoe was established in 2018. There is also plenty of stunning landscapes and wildlife.
3. Craigellachie, Moray
The first place in the top three is Craigellachie in Moray with 645,000 TikTok views. Sitting on the confluence of the River Spey and River Fiddich, it is famous for two whisky distilleries as well as sights such as the Craigellachie Bridge.
2. Braemar, Aberdeenshire
With 3,700,000 TikTok views, Braemar comes in in second. It is widely known for its stunning scenery surrounded by the Grampian Mountains, with the Cairngorms National Park right on your doorstep.
1. Isle of Mull
According to the research, the Isle of Mull has come out as the most desirable place to live with 12,400,000 TikTok views. Home to iconic colourful houses in Tobermory as well as unique wildlife, many would say it’s deserving of top spot!
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
