From hip urban areas to places with stunning scenery, here is what people looking for a new home can expect from these Scottish settings.
Living in one could see the value of your house rise by thousands of pounds.
The list doesn’t just cover inner-city areas but offers something for everyone from fast-paced urban living to those wanting a quieter pace of life amongst some stunning scenery.
G1, Glasgow City Centre / Merchant City

If you love a dram or a pint, this party city is the place to be – boasting one of the highest concentrations of world-renowned clubs in the UK.
The city has a multitude of famous watering holes, including a West-end pub which once featured in Trainspotting, making its name as the place Begbie launched a glass from the balcony.
Now the bar is called BrewHaus and has posher clientele, but the fan favourite balcony still features the same view.
The postcode also features several scenes from hit TV show Succession, which recently won three Golden Globes.
EH39 – North Berwick, East Lothian

North Berwick might be top of the list for many people as it offers the tranquil option of life by the sea, but is just a short journey away from Scotland’s capital, Edinburgh.
Locals can enjoy North Berwick’s sandy beach and charming beach huts in the morning and by afternoon be in the heart of the city.
The impressive Bass Rock in the Firth of Forth can be seen from the bay, which has become a breeding ground for gannets, while the surrounding sea provides plenty of seafood for the local pubs and restaurants.
Astronomy lovers might want to make it a destination too, as glimpses of the northern lights can be seen on nearby dark coastal spots.
The best of the rest…
