There is one thing Scotland has no shortage of (apart from rain) and that is dramatic coastlines. In fact, we have over 6,000 miles of it, rising to 10,000 miles when you include our island communities.

Sandy beaches, sweeping cliffs and crashing waves make for an idyllic antidote to city life... and among the 1,300 homes we have on the market right now, there are a few coastal crackers.

They include a period property dating back to 1896 and one with a championship golf course on its doorstep!
