Leith in Edinburgh dethrones Dundee as best place to live in Scotland

Edinburgh's Leith area has dethroned Dundee as the best place to live in Scotland.

The Sunday Times List sees Cromarty in the Highlands sit second and Dunblane lie third best.

It assesses a number of factors, from schools, transport and broadband speed to culture, green spaces and the health of the high street to produce the definitive guide to the UK's finest locations to call home.

Helen Davies, The Sunday Times Home editor said: "Our advice is simple. Think about everything you love and everything you hate, then make sure you have access to the good things while minimising exposure to the bad ones. And we’re here to help.

“Never has where you live felt more important. This year we have, along with house prices, air quality, good schools and access to green spaces, championed locations that have showcased great community spirit.

“The feeling of involvement in and concern for one's local community is being challenged — and celebrated — as never before. We wish everyone well wherever they live."
