If you were to picture your dream home, where would it be? Chances are, many would be located by the sea or ocean, ideally beside a gorgeous beach with beautiful vistas of the big blue. We love the seaside for so many reasons; the calm it brings, the opportunity for adventure, the crisp clean air and a multitude of health benefits.

As an island nation, we are lucky enough to have hundreds of miles of majestic coastline. From ruggedly beautiful and sprawling stretches of rural shoreline to lovely beaches attracting thousands of visitors in summer, the shores of Scotland are simply stunning. With historic fishing villages and towns with fascinating maritime history, there are plenty of options for finding a coastal property in Scotland.
