Yesterday it was revealed that two Ayrshire towns were identified as some of the most in-demand seaside locations to live in the UK.
Troon, which took third spot on the list, and Ayr, which ranked seventh, are well known for their long sand beaches, pristine golf courses and stunning promenades.

As of the 29th of June people in Scotland are allowed to move home “provided that they can be carried out safely”.
So, we have taken a look at Scotland’s biggest property website, S1 homes, to find out where is the most expensive place in the country to buy a home and where is currently the cheapest.
Perhaps unsurprisingly Edinburgh tops the list with 409 homes for sale currently averaging an asking price of £269,063.
On the opposite end of the spectrum, Greenock currently offers the lowest prices with 123 homes averaging £97,674 - a whopping £171K cheaper than the capital.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
