Ricky Diggins, director at Bank of Scotland, said: “Although Scotland’s most exclusive addresses have seen some exciting movement this year, prices have remained steady, with the average house price of £1,276,200 in the top 20 compared to £1,286,200 last year.
“Despite conceding the top spot to St Andrews, the capital continues to dominate the table of the most expensive streets and more broadly has strong average house prices. This year Glasgow has created some new entries on the leader board, showing encouraging signs for the market in the city and surrounding areas.”
Oakhill Grange in Aberdeen made it into the top 20 for the first time with an average house price of £1.276m.
Kingsborough Gardens in Hyndland is Glasgow’s most expensive street with an average property costing £1.140m. Other entries in the Glasgow area include the suburb of Bearsden, with a property on Manse Road costing £1.123m on average.
Castle Avenue in Uddingston is in third place (£1.093m) in the Glasgow area, while Woodhead Drive in Bothwell is a new entry with an average house price of just over £1m.

Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
