Shetland Islanders have the highest quality of life in Scotland, according to a new survey.
The Bank of Scotland study said residents tended to have higher than average earnings, more chance of being employed and better health.
The islands also benefited from the best education results and had a low rate of housebreaking.
Aberdeenshire came in second, East Dunbartonshire was third and the Orkney Islands were fourth on the list.
They were followed by East Renfrewshire, East Lothian, Scottish Borders, Midlothian, Moray and Angus.
Properties in six of the top 10 quality of life areas attract a premium, selling for more than the average Scottish house price - which is £165,921. |
