    You said you would stay in Dundee, so i take it you have visited. Broughty Ferry is practically part of it although it is on the outskirts. If you had kept heading northwards you would have came across it followed by Balmossie, Carnoustie and Arbroath

    I'm a Glaswegian, and I love Glasgow but Perth and Kinross is just beautiful, Dunkeld has so much history. It's Isle of Eigg is pronounced Egg. Probably don't be talking about buying a cottage anywhere in Scotland to stay for a few weeks, it's because of the English buying properties as holiday accommodation that the locals can't afford to buy property in their own villages, just saying as a bit of advice to you, please ignore at will. x

    Na h-Eileanan Siar is Scots Gaelic for the outer Hebridean Isles of Harris and Lewis and Barra and other littler ones dotted around. Luskentyre beach looks like the Bahamas however very much not as warm.

    I live in the Outer Hebrides, on Isle of Harris. Originally from Edinburgh, moved up many years ago, became a weaver of the famous cloth. The place is stunning, white sandy beaches, aqua green seas & wonderful mountains. It's not for everyone, winters here can be harsh. The pretty much constant wind can wear people down when they 1st move here!

    Please ignore most of the pronunciations in this video, the voice sounded AI and got lots of the names wrong! If I'd managed to make money, my dream was to buy a flat in Glasgow's west end, and buy a cottage on Loch Lomond or in the Trossachs so I could enjoy the best of both worlds. Alas, I'm in my mid 30s and still live in a council flat, though at least I already live at Loch Lomond so things could be worse! If I could move anywhere in Scotland nowadays I would choose Oban, It's fairly remote and surrounded by stunning scenery, but it has all the amenities you'd need and is well connected by bus, train and ferry.I don't disagree that most of the picks on this list are nice places to stay... however my own top 10 would be very different from this video. Eigg is a real place and it's pronounced Egg! Eigg is near other islands called Rum and Muck. Along with Canna they're known as the Small Isles. I've never visited any of them but I have sailed past them on my way to the Outer Hebrides.

      @@alfiekelly5914 I do some work in content creation, and the voice sounds familiar. Which makes me think it's likely AI. Computer technology has really come leaps and bounds in terms of getting a computer to read text in regional accents, but they do tend to mess up when it comes to words that aren't pronounced as you'd spell them.
      It's both impressive and scary how far AI has come in the last few years. Don't believe me, spend a few hours experimenting with chat GPT, with the right prompts the level of conversation you can have with a bot is scary.

    Orkney is my favourite place to visit. There is so much to see, it has a wealth of Neolithic sites including the Ring of Brodgar and Skara Brae. It has Viking sites. World War II sites. Beautiful nature - including puffins. Plus there is a cracking snack van in the carpark opposite Tesco. Don’t think I could live there full time though. Too remote and the winter is too long.

    @Eddy Cheese , My stepdad is from The Isle of Eigg (pronounced egg) and he lives here in Glasgow just a 5 minute walk from me . But he is on his way to Eigg next week for a wee break with my mum . About half of the population of the island are his relatives . Dennistoun in Glasgow is less than 2 miles from Celtic Park . I think this top 10 is made up of places with really high property prices which doesn't really paint a picture if they are the best places to live . I'd rather see a top 10 showing places with the least crime figures & great community spirit .

Although you need to head a bit further North out of the Cental Belt places like Oban, Aberdeen,Wick, Ullapool , etc. Some off these places are quiet and scenic perhaps not enough happening for your videos but worth seeing. I think you’re doing it right a bit at a time as travelling is really expensive these days, especially accommodation.

Na h-Eileanan Siar sounds a bit more like Nah-ee-lan share. Think of the River Siur (Shoo-er) in Ireland, or even the girl's name, Sian, in Wales... Si- always sounds like the English Sh- sound! Broughty Ferry is the upmarket seaside suburb of Dundee, Eddie... In the World? Aye well, when your world stops at the Waterloo Bar just past Glasgow Central Station one way and Robroyston in the other - Dennistoun probably does resemble Las Vegas...!! Melrose is nice - at the foot of the Eildon Hills - but why they show you the mental health unit at the back of the hospital is anyone's guess, LOL!!
