dundee

Dundee is known as ‘One City, Many Discoveries’ in honour of Dundee’s

scientific activities and the Robert Falcon Scott’s Antarctic exploration vessel,
RRS Discovery, which was built in Dundee and is now berthed in the City
Harbour. The city is a surprisingly cosmopolitan, with a high proportion of
foreign students studying at the two highly regarded Universities, as well as the
School of Dentistry and Ninewell University Hospital.

The hugely exciting Waterfront Regeneration will continue to transform the
City, with the V&A Museum at the heart of this. The regeneration project also
includes a number of major Hotel chains and a host of new bars and
restaurants.

Dundee is a great city to invest in, with entry level properties priced as low as

£40,000. With a good mixture of traditional terraced flats, modern waterfront
apartments and a wide range of urban and rural family homes, there really is
something for everyone’s taste and budget.

perth

Another former capital of Scotland, Perth was made a city again by the Queen
as part of her Diamond Jubilee celebrations in 2012. With a rich and influential

history that stretches back over 800 years, Perth has served as its country’s
capital and has always been one of the most important political, judicial and
commercial centres in Scotland. Many of the Scottish kings were crowned on
the Stone of Destiny at Scone Palace, while there are many famous historical
figures that left their mark on this royal burgh.

Today, Perth is a bustling city of around 50,000 inhabitants. It offers a range of
entertainment, shops, cafe’s and restaurants and is recognised as one of
Scotland’s premier culinary centres. Perth City Centre has a very buoyant
residential and rental market, with a mixture of traditional and modern
apartments available. The outskirts of the City offers a variety of family homes,
with the wider rural areas hosting some of Scotland most stunning country
properties and Estates.

dunfermline

Just a short drive from Edinburgh over the Queensferry Crossing lies Fife’s most
populous town, the ancient borough of Dunfermline. The town is steeped in royal
history with some of Scotland’s most fascinating history and architecture.
Dunfermline was the capital of Scotland for more than 300 years and was the burial
place of Scottish Monarchs, including King Robert The Bruce, who’s grave lies under
the pulpit of the historic Dunfermline Abbey.

Another famous Son of Dunfermline is industrialist and philanthropist Andrew
Carnegie. He is globally renowned for his donations to needy causes and a particular
interest in libraries. He also donated large sums of money to his home town and it’s
thanks to his generosity that the local library, concert hall, swimming pool and the
beautiful Carnegie Park continue to attract visitors to Dunfermline.

The town of Dunfermline is one of the fastest growing areas of population in
Scotland today. The eastern expansion, which commenced in the late 1990’s was
hailed as the largest private development in Europe and almost 30 years later, it
continues to grow, with a mixture of residential and affordable homes. The growing
amenities, bustling town centre, ancient history and great commuter links into
Edinburgh, all help make Dunfermline a buoyant and attractive town to set up home.
