Perth named 'most desirable place'

Perth has taken the top spot in a poll of Scotland's most desirable - and affordable - places to live.
The city has been given the honour for its combination of good living standards with average house prices.

Top schools, award-winning restaurants, quality shops and cultural attractions are on offer to home buyers able to pay around £158,000, according to research by The Royal Bank of Scotland.

The bank's Affordable Affluence Index identifies the towns and cities where the elements of an affluent lifestyle are available at the most affordable prices.

Inverness came in second in the survey, with Livingston third.

Dunfermline and Kilmarnock took fourth and fifth places.

All enjoy good lifestyle factors without the above-average house prices of Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen, the bank said.

The results of the Index were unveiled to highlight the bank's Private Banking services, which are now open to all those who typically earn £100,000 or more.
