Fill yer boots!

House prices in Scotland rose for the first time this year in the three months to October, according to a survey.

The latest Scottish House Price Monitor from Lloyds TSB found a 1.7% rise between August and October.

But over the year as a whole, the report said property values had still fallen by 2.9%.

The average cost of a Scottish home was £155,805, which is 90% of the figure when prices peaked in 2008.

Edinburgh saw the biggest increase (3.1%) with a home typically costing £179,912, while prices in Aberdeen also increased (2.7%).

I visted Glen Coe in the autumn. Very nice place - would be good to have a holiday chalet there.

Depends on which part of Glasgow, new builds etc will probably have dropped, but sought after areas such as the West End have increased.

Can imagine the south side remains popular, pollokshields and the like.
