I was delighted to see that Broughty Ferry was named as one
of the top five best urban places to live in Scotland and one of the top 50 urban
places to live in Britain in a list of places drawn up by the Sunday Times in
partnership with property website Zoopla.
A number of factors were considered when determining the list
including house prices, crime rates, transport links, school performance, as
well as the writers’ own local knowledge.
The paper described Broughty Ferry as "a picture-perfect
former fishing village that’s netting ever more interest" and says “It was
favoured by the city’s wealthy jute barons, who have left behind a rich
collection of handsome villas with splendid views over to Fife."
Broughty Ferry reached the final three of the UK-wide Great
Neighbourhood awards last year and this latest accolade is further evidence, if
it were needed, that Broughty Ferry is the place to go for those who wish to
live, work or visit somewhere that has a beautiful seafront location, quality
shops and restaurants, historical interest, great community spirit and so much
more.
