- What are the best towns in Scotland? Only a few people would disagree with the description of Scotland as the most rugged and most beautiful of all the four UK nations. Many would celebrate Scotland for its deep and fascinating history, striking mountains, and stately castles not to mention misty lochs and its mythological monsters. Truly, cities and towns in Scotland have a lot of good things for which you should love them. Focusing now on towns, we present here the best 8 towns to live in Scotland.
These smaller gems are scattered across the glens and valleys of Scotland to give the nation an incredible landscape. The next time you plan on vacationing in Scotland, try and see if you can choose some of these 8 best towns to live in Scotland.
8. Helensburgh
A good place to begin beaming our searchlight is Helensburgh, a rich coastal town in Argyll and Bute council area. The town founded in 1776 as a spa by Colquhoun is at the intersection of the Firth of Clyde and East Clyde. The 15,000 residents of this town named after its founder’s wife have their own Community Council. Its unique location 40 kilometers northwest of Glasgow on the water, provides good access from the town to Glasgow. That’s one good reason to love it.
According to The Sunday Times ranking of the best places to live in Britain, Helensburgh is one of the 12 best locations to live in Scotland. Among the wide range of factors considered before the conclusion is reached are job availability and satisfaction, academic performances and exam results, community spirit, broadband speed, and local shops. In any of these, Helensburgh is never found wanting. Thus, we agree that this is one of the best towns to live in Scotland.
7. Bearsden
Bearsden, a town in East Dunbartonshire and on the northwestern fringe of Greater Glasgow is the next on our list. The town about 5.2 kilometers northwest of Glasgow City Center is a suburb with a population of about 28,000 and it provides quick and easy access to the city center.
We first thought of including Bearsden here when it appeared on a list of the 8 best places in Scotland. That list was compiled by The Sunday Times. Looking closer, we found out that the town has an array of cute homes, quality schools, and a thriving community of small shops. This makes it a desirable option for raising a family. It has all of the nighttime entertainment you could ask for.
Though the crime rate in Glasgow city center is high, Bearsden is quite quiet, making it a good place to call home around Glasgow. It’s also one of the coolest neighborhoods in the world.
6. Dunkeld
Let’s proceed to Dunkeld a town in Perth and Kinross. The town is located on the north bank of the River Tay and opposite Birnam. Dunkeld is frequently referred to as the Gateway to the Highlands because of its proximity to the geological Highland Boundary Fault. The town that is one of the most loved in the UK is also one of the best towns to live in Scotland. It’s a popular holiday area in Scotland. It’s also well connected by road and rail to all the major centers in Scotland and the other parts of the UK. Though the town with an estimated population of 1,300 may be relatively small, it’s among the best.
This historically and naturally significant town has been a settlement since ancient times. That’s why you will find a historical cathedral and other historical edifices that would even remind you that it was declared the capital of the Scottish nation in the 9th Century.

It's Hellensburra!
Good video, nicely compiled. As others have mentioned it is handy to know that in Scotland we pronounce "burgh" as "bur- ah " . . . handy to know if you need to ask for directions.
i visit helensburgh alot, and i have actually thought about moving there!
2.24 i could be wrong....pretty sure i'm not.....but that is not Bearsden. Could be the palm trees that give it away :)
Melrose too 😆
I was wondering about that. Looked suspiciously like L.A.
Helen's Berg??? Where is that in Scotland?
Research your pronunciation of Helensburgh and Bearsden!
As someone who has recently just moved away from Dunblane, nice for a visit but to live no thank you. Full of very entitled residents who blast everything over community Facebook pages. Beautiful backdrop and good schools can’t make up for feeling like you are always under a magnifying glass.
i moved out from there for the very same reason but had no problems selling the property was sold 2 days from advertising it
Don't you just hate it when they can't pronounce 'burgh'? I'd have thought there's a good few more candidates too, such as St Andrews, Broughty Ferry, Perth, Peebles, Dunbar... I like North Berwick, but it has next to no ordinary shops in its' high street now, at all!
Sorry to bother you, I'm Trying to be more social and meet new people to share ideas and opportunities with, I'd like to share with you if You don't mind?
I can't wait for the narrator's tour of Edinburg 😂
And Dunnottar
Why is a picture from Los Angeles of a Melrose Avenue street sign in your video of Scotland? That Melrose Avenue street sign is in Los Angeles CA USA...not in Scotland.
'Helen's Burg' hahaha
The top Dunblane School was actually the Dunblane Hydro Hotel! Not a school!
Where’s Wishy?
Helens BURG????
I live in the US But I’m tired of it To be honest I want somewhere more mellow and I heard Scotland is very nice country to live and raise a family I told my wife we should visit and if we like it try to give the UK a chance does anyone have any advice if we did move to Scotland I’ve heard mostly good things obviously it has it downs too but I’ve heard many Americans love it when they move there .
The west coast of Scotland is beautiful. Drymen, callender are great places to live
@@malcm79 oh okay thank you I’ll look into those areas with my wife I definitely do plan on visiting soon
What about castle Douglas?
Oh gosh I think it's really frustrating when the people who come up with these lists actually haven't done proper research and can't pronounce the very first place name on the video.
I like Strathaven. Try pronouncing that one.
Try Kilconquhar
you should have got a scot to pronounce the places
Well said thoughts exactly
Helensburgh has an `H` on the end of it and its pronounced as `Helens - BURRA` NOT HELENSBURG. I wish people would at least try to get place names correct. At the 1:01 mark, i stopped watching as i don`t wish to hear anymore butchering of our place names.
How is lanarkshire
Here is some help Helensburgh - Helens bra,
Bute is the island, Rothesay is the town.
Sorry to bother you, I'm Trying to be more social and meet new people to share ideas and opportunities with, I'd like to share with you if You don't mind?
