Obviously it's a very beautiful country but what I love more >>> the scottish people, came to work as a doctor and everyone surrounded me with love and support, very polite patients..now, I am in deep love with anything scottish❤️

My grandfather came from Scotland to Canada and then to the USA in 1930's. If I could move to Scotland and live there, I would in a minute! Wouldn't need a job so I'm not taking one from a Scot. Love Love Love Scotland and it's people!

[linzynhs]

Surprised Denniston is on the list... Partick/Byres road area/Botanic gardens in Glasgow is worth a look if you're a tourist.

[Ken-zsur]

I would also recommend the East Neuk of Fife

[Jack.D_]

i dont live in scotland but i have been to crieff many times and it is an amazing place, atleast top 5 for me

[nicksmpsn]

The odd thing is, Dennistoun would have fitted comfortably in your worst places in Scotland to live 20 years ago. It really wasn't a place you wanted to go to, but now it is impressive and it is a credit to the residents there.

Elgin should be on the list - cathedral city with access to beautiful coastlines and gold sandy beaches, loads of history, whiskey, nature walks, good access to Cairngorms, furthermore a quaint town centre and most importantly the area with the least rainfall across the entirety of Scotland! Not surprised it is not on the list however as Elgin and Moray in general is quite a hidden gem.

I would never live on the west coast as it rains constantly, Edinburgh is too expensive, and Aberdeen is soulless - the Highland / Moray area is the best kept secret in Scotland for quality of life.

[johnfitzsimons]

great list, just back from an 8 day motorcycle tour mostly of the Fort Augustas and Pitlochry, not sure of employment possibilities in these areas but boy they were pretty!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿till our next trip☘️

[charlesnelson]

Dunoon and surrounding areas, and St Andrews

[herbertschuhmacher]

Yes, I agree that the Orkneys (Kirkwell) and Portobello must be among the best places to live in Scotland

[giovannidebiase]

I live in a beautiful country, " Italy, " but Scotland is magic.

[kingofscots]

This is absolutely hilarious. Guys never been to Scotland in his puff!

[JayNJoy]

North Berwick...nice place. I think portobello is beautiful. Thanks for sharing

[johndavidson]

Stirling is the gateway to the Highlands.

[prasadkodali]

I was there in Glasgow 2010 to 2011 it's lovely to live there, those days with my kids and wife in Glasgow are still fresh in my memory.❤❤PrasaaD

[hmcbride]

Why's an Englishman narrating this when he can't pronounce the areas in Scotland

[paulsmirk]

Shetland should surely be on this list

[haydonditchburn]

They've missed Burghead, which is good. That way it keeps it's charm..

[insertuselessname]

One problem with Scotland it gets cold quicker than England. There school go back in August time while English schools go back in September time cause weather change 🥶🥶🥶.

[wboyle]
